Argentina - Canada: Form Analysis
Argentina have been in excellent form ahead of their title defense, as they prepare for what could be Lionel Messi's last Copa America tournament. They warmed up with wins in friends earlier in the month, a 1-0 result over Ecuador and a 4-1 win over Guatemala. That made it five wins in a row for the World Champions, who have lost only once since November 2022.
This sequence has seen them win 19 and lose just once – a 2-0 defeat to Uruguay in November last year. Barring that, the Argentines have been excellent at both ends of the pitch. In those 20 matches, Argentina has kept 14 clean sheets, and that's a testimony to the defensive strength of Lionel Scaloni's side.
The rules have been changed to allow more than just the CONMEBOL sides to enter the Copa America tournament. That means Canada has a first shot at glory in the continental tournament, but this match could be a harsh start for Jesse Marsch's men. They have struggled against top teams, as was evident in their two friends this month.
The Canadians were beaten 4-0 by the Netherlands, but picked themselves up in a 0-0 draw against the fancied French side. That is a surprise result in recent form, though, as Canada have won just two of their last seven matches in all competitions and friends.

Argentina & Canada Squad Analysis
Argentina could be without German Pezzella, who's set to miss out with a toe injury. Messi is likely to start for the defending champions, with Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister, and Rodrigo de Paul all set to start for Argentina. One player likely to garner some attention could be Julian Alvarez, who scored four goals in seven World Cup appearances and played only 34 minutes in their last Copa America campaign.
Canada will look to make a mark of their own but will do so without long time 'goalkeeper Milan Borjan, who has been left out of the squad. It could be interesting as to who will step up for them, as Dayne St. Clair started against the Dutch and made six saves. Maxime Crepeau will fancy his chances, as he starred against the French with four stops in a 0-0 result.
