Argentina will play in this fixture coming off the back of a 1-1 Copa America drawn result versus Ecuador.
In that match, Argentina managed 51% possession and 8 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Argentina was Lisandro Martínez (35'). Ecuador had 9 attempts on goal with 2 on target. Kevin Rodríguez (92') scored for Ecuador. Argentina won the match 4-2 in a dramatic penalty shootout.
Argentina haven’t had any problems with scoring, netting every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 matches.
They’ve totted up the amount of 11 during that period while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 2.

Last time out, Canada drew 1-1 in the Copa America match with Venezuela.
In that match, Canada managed 45% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. The only player to score for Canada was Jacob Shaffelburg (13'). At the other end, Venezuela got 16 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. Salomón Rondón (65') was the scorer for Venezuela. The game was won 4-3 by Canada on penalties.
It is worth noting that Canada have suffered from a shortage of goals over their last six clashes, netting the poor return of only 2. In those fixtures, The Canucks have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 7. Such a trend might not be carried forward into this match, however.
ℹ️ Team News: Argentina
We think that La Albiceleste should line up in a 4-4-2 system for this one, utilising Emiliano Martinez, Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martinez, Nicolas Tagliafico, Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez, Nicolas Gonzalez, Lionel Messi and Lautaro Martinez.
📋 Team News: Canada
We’re of the thinking that The Canucks will likely utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Maxime Crepeau, Alistair Johnston, Moise Bombito, Derek Cornelius, Alphonso Davies, Jonathan Osorio, Stephen Eustaquio, Richie Laryea, Jonathan David, Jacob Shaffelburg and Cyle Larin.
💡 Prediction
It’s pretty clear that Canada will have a tough assignment to be scoring even one goal against a Argentina team who seem set to create a lot of chances for themselves and convert these into goals.
Our tip is for a 3-0 win for Argentina when all is said and done.
