Argentina vs Canada Prediction & Picks - Copa America
by Edgar Jibran | in Copa America Picks
The semifinals of the Copa America have already defined the 4 best teams of the competition, so, starting next Tuesday, July 9, a monumental spectacle is expected in the determination of the finalist teams for the 2024 edition of this prestigious tournament, where it’s a fact that Argentina, as the reigning champion of the tournament, has a huge commitment to deliver an effective game in their second match of the tournament against Canada.
In this sense, it should be noted that the “Albiceleste” team has suffered more than expected to reach these stages, so it’s hoped from their fans that in this semifinal match they manage to show their hierarchy by establishing a marked dominance over an inexperienced Canadian team that has already made history with the sole fact of having qualified to the semifinals of this tournament for the first time.

Argentina - Canada: Form Analysis
In terms of performances, Argentina underwent one of their worst moments of 2024 during their match against Ecuador, as, although they managed to withstand the Ecuadorian attacks during the early stages of the match and took the lead, the reality is that the second half was one of the worst in recent times, where they could have even been knocked out of the competition if "La Tri" had been more assertive in front of the Argentinean goal.
Meanwhile, Canada continues to evidence that they’re the best team in CONCACAF in terms of regularity and consistency, since, despite not having a base of top-level players, they have been able to be one of the most spectacular teams, due to their great offensive capacity. However, although they managed to eliminate Venezuela on penalty shootout, the Canadians missed multiple opportunities to win the quarterfinals round earlier.

Argentina & Canada Squad Analysis
Another of the fundamental aspects to take into consideration are the possible lineups, where Argentina clearly has a huge advantage by preserving a very high level of cohesion among its players, who have learned to handle the pressure in different circumstances to even overcome risky situations such as the penalty shootout against Ecuador, and although Lionel Messi missed his shot, Emiliano Martinez showed again his character and personality to keep Argentina in the competition.
On the other hand, Canada has a quick and talented team, however, they are still extremely dependent on Alphonso Davies and his runs to the back line to successfully generate dangerous opportunities in the opponents’ net. Also, they must improve their defensive performance to avoid committing mistakes like the one that caused Venezuela's partial tie in the quarterfinals, where Crepeau played too far forward of his zone.
Argentina - Canada Key Points
- Argentina lost their streak of 8 victories in a row in regular time after their penalty shootout against Ecuador, however they haven’t lost since November 2023.
- Canada haven’t scored more than 1 goal per match during the competition, offensive performance that is most likely going to take them out of the competition.
- Argentina cannot afford to be as ineffective as they were during the first half of their group stage confrontation against Canada, as they were only able to make 2 shots on target.
- Canada’s tactics must be completely opposite to those they had during their group stage confrontation against Argentina, where they only generated 4 corners and 2 shots on target.

Our Argentina vs Canada Prediction
To conclude, this match will once again test the Canadian players, who will have to show all their offensive capacity with a strong an direct game against an Argentine defense that has been noticeably slow in many phases of the tournament, however, the defensive concentration will be key to be competitive for the Canadian squad, so the pick for Argentina - Canada is: Over 1.5 Goals During the Second Half!
