Argentina vs. Canada Predictions

• Where: Mercedes-Benz Arena, Atlanta, Georgia
• When: Friday, June 21, 2 am CET

The Argentinian unit is the top favorite to win the Copa America title along with Brazil, and Lionel Messi’s unit starts that quest against Canada. Jesse Marsch’s crew was the biggest surprise at the previous World Cup in Qatar, and this unit tends to continue with that positive trend. The first challenge for Marsch and the squad is against the toughest possible rival – the world champs.

Argentina vs. Canada Preview

Argentina

Messi and the boys have nine wins and one defeat in the latest ten events, with the sole loss being the one at home to Uruguay, 0-2, in the World Cup qualifiers. However, after that, the Gauchos have managed to triumph in four straight meetings, allowing just one goal throughout that stretch. Overall, the defense is near perfection, with eight clean sheets over the latest ten contests.

Their wins were over Brazil, on the road, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Ecuador. Therefore, we have to say that the world champs are in excellent form.

Lionel Scaloni called up pretty much the same roster as at the World Cup, with Paulo Dybala being the only big star who isn’t involved in the competition.

Canada

Jesse Marsch will face a personal challenge at this Copa America because he not only plays at home but also because the bar is set high now, and the expectations are bigger. Previous head coach Herdman made Canada a respectable force, and Marsch needs to take it to another level or at least keep it the same.

Canadians played two test games before Copa America, and we have to say they didn’t thrill us. First, Marsch’s gang was smashed by the Netherlands, 4-0, in a match that saw Oranje’s total domination.

The second was much better for Canada, even though they couldn’t score. It was a goalless tie against France, who played with the best players apart from Mbappe. Marsch’s unit was much faster and more fluid, reminding everyone how they played at the World Cup.

Argentina vs. Canada Predictions

According to the odds, the Gauchos are massive favorites, and we need to say that’s completely reasonable, given that they are world champions in excellent shape. We don’t believe in their smashing victory, but we are more than sure of Argentina’s victory.
