VS
There is everything to play for in Mendoza for both Peru and Mexico. Both sides will have to face arguably superior sides in Uruguay and Chile in the final round of games, so this match will be a best opportunity for each side to gain points.
With Mexico effectively fielding an Olympic side for this Copa America, they perhaps come into this game as slight underdogs despite looking impressive in their opening loss to Chile. Giovanni dos Santos will once again be the main man for Mexico but he will have a tough time against Peru's excellent defense.
An interesting point will be what formation Luis Fernando Tena will use against Peru. Against Chile, Mexico went with a 5-3-2 formation, which was used to counter the attacking flare of the young and talented Chilean team. Perhaps though Mexico will switch to 4 at the back due to Peru being without most of their star attackers for this tournament, Jefferson Farfan and Claudio Pizarro miss the Copa America due to injury. A similar fate almost meant that Peru's goal scorer against Uruguay, Paolo Guerrero, could have also missed the competition but he managed to recover in time and now becomes Peru's main man up front.
Peru will be hoping that Juan Manuel Vargas will be fit enough to start this game, after coming on off of the bench against Uruguay in the last game. Should Vargas play he will most likely be facing the right back, Paul Aguilar, who is one of the few Mexican players to have also been a part of the 2010 World Cup squad. So, what will be happen to night time will say that?
