The 2024 Copa America is back in action with another fixture this weekend as Canada take on Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay side in a third-place encounter at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on Saturday. Both teams have punched above their weight in the tournament and are in impressive form going into this game.
