Argentina will look to sweep through Group A play when they take on Peru in a 2024 Copa America matchup on Saturday. Argentina are coming off a 1-0 win over Chile on Tuesday, while Peru dropped a 1-0 decision to Canada. Argentina are on a seven-match winning streak and have outscored its opponents 3-0 in Copa America play. Peru, meanwhile, are 0-1-1 in the tournament and are still looking for their first goal. They, however, can still advance with a win and some help. Argentina are expected to rest superstar Lionel Messi, and could give a breather to a number of other stars, but will still send out a potent lineup.
