Argentina vs Canada Betting Tips - Argentina to Win to Nil
Argentina extended their winning streak to seven games with a pre-tournament friendly victory over Guatemala last week. Despite conceding an early goal just four minutes in, Lionel Scaloni's squad secured a comfortable 4-1 win, with both Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez scoring twice for La Albiceleste.
As reigning World Cup and Copa America champions, Argentina have only lost two out of their last 57 matches since 2019. La Albiceleste have a particularly solid defence, with clean sheets kept in 11 of their last 14 matches since the World Cup Final in 2022.
Favourites to claim another Copa America crown, Scaloni´s men come into Friday´s contest with plenty of confidence, and defensive solidity.
Canada concluded their Copa America preparations with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against France in Paris last week. Jesse Marsch's side had previously suffered a 4-0 defeat to the Netherlands in the former Leeds boss's first match in charge, just four days earlier.
Making their first-ever appearance at the Copa America, the Canucks have faced a challenging run of form over the past year. Since June 2023, they have won only three of their last 11 games, with three draws and five losses.
Friday's Copa America opener will mark the fourth meeting between these two nations. Argentina has won all three previous encounters, scoring nine goals and conceding none. In their most recent clash, Argentina secured a 5-0 victory in a friendly in Buenos Aires 14 years ago.
While Canada is expected to be competitive, I anticipate Argentina will start their title defense with a crucial win in Atlanta. I'm backing Argentina to win and keep a clean sheet at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
