Before Betting On Argentina vs Canada
It has been an exciting period on the international stage for Argentina, with Lionel Messi finally leading his nation to World Cup success in 2022. However, the nation will be chasing further success this summer, and they will be among the clear favorites to win the Copa America on U.S. soil. Messi’s side will come up against some tricky sides in Group A, with matches against Chile and Peru to come after this opener against Canada.
Argentina have won the Copa America on 15 previous occasions, including most recently in 2021 after beating Brazil in the final. That was their fifth appearance in the final in seven editions, but it marked a first success at the tournament since 1993. Their form so far this calendar year has been dominant after landing friendly wins over El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Ecuador.
Canada have been handed a tough assignment if they are to make it out of the group stage at the Copa America this summer, and things don’t get more difficult than this opening night showdown against Argentina. It has been a period of change for the team since the 2022 World Cup, with Jesse Marsch tasked with preparing the nation for their home World Cup in two years time.
Canada will be playing at the Copa America for the first time in history after winning two of their three qualifying matches earlier this year. However, their CONCACAF Gold Cup victories in 1985 and 2000 remain their only major honors to date. But, confidence would have been built in recent warm-up matches, which included a 0-0 draw in France.
