Argentina vs Canada Prediction: 10/7/2024

After a hard-fought victory over Ecuador in the quarter-finals, Argentina aims to secure their place in the 2024 Copa America final by facing Canada at MetLife Stadium. La Albiceleste previously triumphed over Canada 2-0 in the group stages, and with Lionel Messi and his team in top form, they are favored to win Wednesday’s encounter. With a full squad available, coach Lionel Scaloni is expected to lead Argentina to a home victory. Julian Alvarez is likely to start in place of Lautaro Martinez, who underperformed against Ecuador.

On the other side, Canada reached the semi-finals by defeating Venezuela on penalties. However, they will be without defender Derek Cornelius, who is suspended, and forward Tajon Buchanan, who is injured. Despite these setbacks, Argentina is the strong favorite, eager to defend their Copa America title. A key player for Canada to watch will be the speedy Bayern Munich wing-back Alphonso Davies.

Prediction: 2-0 for Argentina.
