Strong Argentinian back line is the centerpiece
The Gauchos' only defeat came against their strongest rivals Uruguay at home, which they lost 0:2. The attentive reader of these football predictions will have noticed that the Argentinians won all five of their other games. Also against their arch-rivals in Brazil with 1:0. Before the last test against Guatemala, Argentina's national soccer team celebrated another three victories in test matches, two of which were also without conceding a goal.
Neither the 3-0 win over El Salvador nor the 3-1 win over Costa Rica were a serious test for Argentina. The test match against Ecuador was a little closer afterwards.
How good is Canada's current form?
In the Concacaf Nations League, the last tournament with competitive matches, the Canadians reached the quarter-finals. Canada's national soccer team failed in a penalty shoot-out against Jamaica. The North Americans won the first leg 3:2, but then lost the second leg 1-2, meaning they missed out on the Final Four. At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Canada previously took part in a World Cup final for the second time, but finished last behind Morocco, Croatia and Belgium with three defeats and were eliminated in the preliminary round.

Canada recently upset the runners-up in the world championship
If we tell you for your next betting slip that the Maple Leafs failed to score in their last two test matches before the Copa America 2024, then you should know the opponents. Because the 0:4 against the Netherlands was certainly a clear defeat. After that, however, Canada drew with runners-up France 0-0. The Argentinians should therefore be on their guard.
Since the Canadians also won 2-0 against Trinidad & Tobago before these two test matches, the last three encounters have always ended with a Both Teams Not To Score. However, we have not seen a clear trend of Over or Under 2.5 in the last ten international matches.
Canada
System: 4-4-2.
Only one duel, but Argentina clearly won it against Canada
To conclude the betting tip analysis, let's take a look at the H2H comparison. It's one-sided, but also quite lean. So far, these two national teams have only met once in a friendly match. The Argentinians won this extremely clearly with a 5:0. The score was already 3:0 in favor of the South Americans.

Our prediction for Argentina vs Canada
We do not expect such a clear victory as in the only meeting so far. However, we do expect a first win for the defending champions at the Copa America - and in favor of the better odds a bet 1 Win To Nil, i.e. without conceding a goal. This is supported by Argentina's strong defense and Canada's recent scoring problems against Holland and France. If you don't want to take too many risks in view of the 0-0 draw between the Canadians and Les Bleus, the Both Teams Not To Score is a very good alternative.
