Match Preview
Venezuela has been one of the standout teams of the tournament, emerging as one of the three national teams to advance through the group stage without dropping any points. Surprisingly, the team wasn't considered a favorite, initially ranked third in Group B. In the first round, Venezuela capitalized on an early red card for Ecuador, securing a 2-1 victory. They then edged out Mexico 1-0 with a dramatic late penalty. Despite having already qualified for the knockout stage, Venezuela didn't let up in the third round, decisively defeating Jamaica 3-0—a team still searching for its first Copa America victory.

Canada has had a commendable performance for a tournament debutant, though they possess a squad capable of even more impressive football. Remarkably, they've only managed to score one goal in three matches, but that goal secured a victory over Peru, where they capitalized on a numerical advantage. A similar situation occurred against Chile, resulting in a draw, which Canada accepted. In their first-round match against Argentina, Canada also failed to score and only conceded to the reigning champions, losing 2-0. It's important to note that Buchanan from Inter was injured in the third round, making it unlikely we'll see him in the upcoming match.

Goaloo Prediction
With a bit of leniency, Venezuela can be seen as the favorite for the upcoming match. They are unbeaten in their last 8 games and have every chance to at least force extra time. In contrast, Canada has scored only one goal in the tournament, while the South Americans have netted six. If we were to predict the exact score, a 1-1 draw seems likely, as the Maple Leafs probably can't manage more in their current form. However, a more reliable bet would be that Venezuela does not lose in regular time.

Pick: Venezuela will not lose
