Argentina vs Canada Prediction: 21/6/2024

Argentina kicks off their Copa America title defense against Canada at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. La Albiceleste are aiming for their sixth consecutive win across all competitions and are strong favorites for Friday’s match. Rodrigo de Paul and Angel Di Maria are expected to return to the starting lineup after their substitute appearances in the 4-1 victory over Guatemala. Meanwhile, Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez has recovered from his injury.

Although Roma’s Paulo Dybala is not included, the presence of Leo Messi and his teammates is likely to pose significant challenges for Canada. On the other hand, Canada managed to secure a goalless draw against a star-studded France team in their recent warm-up match but will face a tough task in Atlanta. In their last encounter in a friendly in 2010, Argentina thrashed Canada 5-0, and we anticipate a similar outcome this time.

Prediction: 3-0
