Argentina Favored to Win Copa America Opener Against Canada

Despite recent defensive struggles, Argentina are heavy favorites against Canada in their Copa America opener.

Argentina have conceded 12 goals in their last six outings, but they still boast a star-studded side led by Lionel Messi. Canada, on the other hand, are ranked 48th in the FIFA World Rankings and have never won a major international trophy.

Prediction: Argentina to win and over 2.5 goals

Argentina are the clear favorites to win this match. They have a much more experienced and talented squad than Canada, and they are also playing at home. Canada will need to play a perfect game to have any chance of pulling off an upset.

I predict that Argentina will win the match 3-1. Messi will score a goal and set up another, while Lautaro Martinez will also get on the scoresheet. Canada will score a consolation goal through Alphonso Davies, but it will not be enough to prevent Argentina from claiming all three points.
