Will the Chileans be able to improve on that statistic in the upcoming game? Our prediction: the Albicelestes will be stronger.
Argentina current form
The last time Argentina won the Copa America was back in 1993. Yes, in their last six contests, the Albicelestes have won five times, but the big question is whether Messi will be able to win anything with his national team as an experienced player. The legendary Argentinian is now 33 years old and will be 34 as the continental championships progress, so the chances are burning before his eyes. The Argentine team once again brings to Copa America a powerful squad with many bright stars, but whether they will be able to assert themselves and help Leo win the trophy or will again fade into the shadows is a big question.
Chile current form
Chile, with its current lineup, won two consecutive Copa America in 2015 and 2016, but their exploits ended there, and lately, they have been a very sad sight. The Chileans have missed out on the World Cup in Russia and now risk missing out on the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, as they have only managed one win in their opening six qualifying matches, and that was against hapless Peru 2-0. It seemed that in the last round, the Reds could easily beat Bolivia on home soil, but even here, Martin Lasarte's charges played out only a draw, 1-1, leaving them in seventh place in the standings.
Experts betting tips
Argentina begins one of their last tournaments with Leo Messi in the squad, where in addition to the best player in the world there will be such status guys as Lautaro Martinez, Sergio Agüero, Angel Correa, Angel Di Maria, Alejandro Gomez, and many more. Yes, the Albicelestes stellar lineup has a lot of times already disgraced themselves by not succeeding, but now they have everything they need to be good. Fortunately, they begin the match against the Chileans, who are in bad shape, so the wards of Lionel Scaloni must get three points. Bet on the victory of Argentina with a handicap (-1.0) at odds of about 2.75.
Argentina possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Montiel, Romero, Otamendi, Acuna; Lo Celso, Paredes, De Paul; Messi, Martinez, Di Maria
