Copa America 2024 Prediction Thread

[Juse14]

Messi and his colleagues started their campaign impressively at the 2024 Copa America, Argentina managed to secure full points over Canada, this victory confirms that they really deserve to be favorites. Argentina has all the attributes needed to defend the title, Messi presence will be the difference in every match, and Messi is the source of confidence for the Argentine National Team. In Group A, Argentina seems very dominant over the Peruvian, Chilean and Canadian national teams, in my opinion they will advance easily to the next round. Meanwhile, even though Messi is 36 years old, he is still the foundation of his team. If Argentina can win the Copa America trophy again, Messi chances of strengthening Argentina to the 2026 World Cup are quite big. However, winning the Copa America trophy is not easy, because Brazil also has frightening strength.

Lionel Messi become the creativities of two goals scoring by Julian Alvarez and Lutaro Martinez after Argentina defeating Canada on the opening match of Copa America 2024, he played well on the first match although he miss two great opportunities for scoring goals after face one by one with Canada goal keeper. Argentina more dominance since first half until second half but many great attempt failed for scoring goals from Lionel Messi, Julian Alvarez until second half match Lutaro Martinez got bigger great opportunity but blocked by Canada goal keeper has impressive performance with several crucial saves.

I think talking about the winner too early just winning the first match its not guarantee get easily on second matches or knock out round match, Argentina need proof them self of next match and keep consistent take opportunity should be goals.

Lionel Messi played a significant part in ensuring Argentina emerged victorious against Canada in the inaugural match of the 2024 Copa America, by setting up two goals for Julian Alvarez and Lautaro Martinez. Despite his commendable performance, Messi faltered twice against the Canadian custodian, an error which might come back to haunt him. The first half underscored Argentina's superiority; however, most attempts by Messi and Alvarez were futile owing to the adversary goalkeeper who thwarted their efforts with valor, thereby keeping Canada in the game.

Yet triumph in the initial contest does not ensure a smooth sail in the subsequent games. What Argentina requires is unrelenting consistency, coupled with making the most out of every chance that comes their way, only by this can they assure advancement to the following rounds. Their ability to keep their eyes set on the prize and preserve their present state will be pivotal determinants as to whether Argentina emerges triumphant in this competition or not.

After the first game, it is hard to predict the winner of the tournament, but the world champions are favorites IMHO. Argentina has such an organized team, the unity in the team is unbelievable and it is like all of them are putting in their best for the star man Messi to win another international trophy.

There are also other tough teams that would trouble Argentina, like Brazil and Columbia. Vini Jr for Brazil also has something to prove in the international stage, he has been brilliant with Real Madrid, so now is the time to bring that form home, to his country, it's going to be an exciting tournament to watch.

Argentina has always been my favourite to win the Copa America, and their first game performance has nothing to do with it. They are so United and they play as a team. They're also very disciplined. The first goal they scored against Canada was a classic team effort, it was almost similar to Di Maria's goal against France in the World Cup final.
Argentina weren't at their best yesterday but they still managed to put in a decent performance against a resilient Canada.
Some people have already written them off, but the joke's on those people. Remember how they started in the World Cup and kept getting better as the tournament progressed? That's how it would be this time around.

Indeed that's exactly what many people were afraid for, to start the competition with a shameful defeat like what happened in Qatar World Cup when Saudi Arabia defeated them and their fans mocked their players and asked where is Messi.
In this version of Copa America, Argentina were able to defeat Canada by two goals to zero which is a very good start regardless of the way they played and their readiness for this match.
Canada after all isn't a top team so they should take cautions later.

Peru vs Chile match is being played today and both the teams are doing a lot of attacking but neither team is able to score successfully. The game is about to end at half time but both teams are attacking a lot but neither team is able to stop the ball in the opponent's net. Although Chile have the ball most of the time so maybe if they can attack more strongly they may be able to score against Peru. As we have seen the first match of Copa America was played between Argentina and Canada and the Argentine team won. In the points table, Argentina team is at the top position with three points. We know Argentina as the strongest team in Group A. And if Chile can win against Peru in today's match, they will definitely be able to occupy a good position in the points table and collect points. But according to the style of play of today's match, today's match is also likely to be a draw between the two teams.

I have been a fan of football for a long time and I have been supporting Argentina ever since I watched football. Argentina football team has been performing very well recently especially they are the champions of the 47th edition of the Copa America.

Supporting one of the teams in a big tournament like Copa America has become a must for many football fans because they support teams like Argentina because of their game and other factors.
For Copa America, there is no specific team that I support including Argentina, but I like how Argentine players respect figures like Lionel Messi and other senior players.

There was a time when everyone trusted Messi and Di Maria the most in the Argentina team but now their thinking has changed. The Argentina team has several young striker players such as MacAllister, Lautaro Martinez, Paulo Dybala and several others. Their performances are worth watching and they are very promising players.

Young players like the names you mentioned have good playing qualities, but I admire all of them for respecting Messi and Di Maria. MacAllister, Lautaro and Dybala, if judged against what Di Maria currently has, are very different because Di Maria is no longer young, so it is natural that young players have more value.

by the way, Chile failed to get full points vs Peru because they only played 0-0.

2-0 is exactly the score that should be when the odds are 1.31 (as was the case with Argentina), so this is the expected result. Nevertheless, Messi missed a couple of 100% chances and was criticized (there were many memes on the topic of “Lukaku moment”). It’s unpleasant, but I think all football players are used to haters and the fickle mood of fans. In any case, the real games will begin only in the playoffs; I don’t think that any of the favorites will be eliminated in the group stage.

Chile was the most aggressive in this match, but in the last minute the result of the two teams was zero. In particular, Chile had 11 kicks aimed at the goal post in this match, and Peru had 7. But unfortunately neither team was able to score in this game, so it was a very competitive game. But these two teams lacked any particular star to score, although a striker is definitely needed to click from the D-box. 
But the Peru and Chile teams lack experienced strikers, as the ball reached the goal post but lacked a striker on the finish line which resulted in no goals.

The match was so tough to the extent that Chile dominate almost every aspect of the game but unfortunately Peru didn't give a chance to them to ride on them, what you said about their lacking of experience striker is actually true, in this Copa America competition I only have hope for only two teams which I believe the have done it before and can still repeat it again are Argentina and Brazil, if any team win the tournament it always shocked me because the both teams are well recognised and have good play with good record, is even when I saw a notification I noticed they have Started playing, it not popular like Euro that I noticed a month before it begins.

[Minecache]

Argentina team managed to defeat Canada team in the first match. As a result, the confidence of the players of Argentina will increase. Naturally, the Argentine team is the favorite for this year's Copa America title. If the players are confident, Argentina will win this year's Copa America title.

The other two teams in Group A are Peru and Chile. Both these teams are not very strong. If Argentina's players are confident, Argentina will win easily in all the matches in the group stage. Especially Alvarez and Martinez will try their best to perform well in the next match.

Well if it were to be some years back then the Chilean team would have also been a strong contender for the title but as it's stands now I think their team isn't that strong anymore as the likes of Alexis Sanchez and atoru Vidal have all lost their strides and no big name is on the squad that can make the team stand out, I think they were the ones who have given the Argentina team a real problem when it comes to this trophy.

Neither Chile nor Peru is strong enough. And these teams cannot be considered favorites for this year's Copa America. Argentina is the favorite for this year's Copa America. Still, I will keep teams like Brazil, USA and Uruguay on the list. However, other than Brazil, the other teams are not very strong.

The Chile vs Peru match was not that exciting. The match was a goalless draw. Both teams tried not to concede goals. However, the performance of Chile's players was relatively good in the match. Chile players had 65% of the ball possession. and was able to make several powerful attacks. If Sanchez could have performed a little better, maybe the Chilean team could have won the match.

[Distraction]

A really decent start by Argentina. 3.38 xG is telling us a lot also.    This must be one of the most productive matches for them lately. When it comes to Messi I don't think he deserves to be criticized harshly for the chances he wasted. I liked his general performance. He created big chances and made an assist too. He is still doing quite good for his age.

There are still a couple of days remaining for Brazil also to start. Costa Rica never managed to beat them. Brazil should be able to make a good start.

Here is their Copa America squad:



It is still good enough to reach the finale despite some absent players. It is nice to see Savio being called to national duty also.    He had a great season and it looks like Dorival Júnior didn't overlook that.

[MAAManda]

A beautiful start for Argentina, only by beating Chile in the second match will make Argentina ensure their safe place in the knockout rounds. On the other hand, I think Canada is unlucky to be in the same group as Argentina, Chile and Peru, apart from Argentina, Chile and Peru are also teams being considered in CONMEBOL. I can confirm that Canada will not progress to the next round and will be the bottom team in Group A later. The next match will start today, still from group A, it is the Peru - Chile match.

Argentina team managed to defeat Canada team in the first match. As a result, the confidence of the players of Argentina will increase. Naturally, the Argentine team is the favorite for this year's Copa America title. If the players are confident, Argentina will win this year's Copa America title.

The other two teams in Group A are Peru and Chile. Both these teams are not very strong. If Argentina's players are confident, Argentina will win easily in all the matches in the group stage. Especially Alvarez and Martinez will try their best to perform well in the next match.

Argentina is one of the favorite teams to probably win the Copa America, that's reasonable, because they managed to win the 2022 WC, that's why. Having a good team composition in each place is also Argentina's current advantage.

BTW, I don't agree with you who said Peru & Chile are not strong teams, they are the 2 teams being considered, if it was US & Panama maybe I could agree. Look at how the Peru - Chile match went and how it turned out, they didn't want to give their opponents full points against each other, which makes Argentina the current top of the standings, but in Argentina's second meeting they have to face Chile, we don't know whether there will be any surprises in that match or not.

The team in Group A has completed their first match at the moment, Argentina who won over Canada is currently at the top of the standings with 3 points, while Chile and Peru are ranked 2nd and 3rd with one point respectively after the two faced each other and got a draw, Canada is still 0 points so far after losing to Argentina, In my opinion, the three teams in the group certainly do not have great potential to be able to beat Argentina, so it is likely that Argentina will have an easy journey to qualify for the next round, Peru and Chile are not teams that are indeed strong in terms of player quality but compared to Peru and Canada, it seems that Chile has a greater chance to qualify for the next round with Argentina.

Both teams drew in the match and both deserve 1 point, in my opinion group A is the least interesting group to watch because it will indeed be more dominant dominated by Argentina, as well as other teams that may also not present an exciting match because indeed the quality of the team is very low and it is difficult to be able to display an exciting and surprising match,  In my opinion, so far the excitement of watching the Copa is when the competition has entered the knockout round or playoffs.

People have easily forgotten that this was the first match of the tournament and the two teams even the Canadians who were deemed the underdogs were supposed to be super competitive most especially as it is their debuting competition. Canada wasn’t or isn’t like the other South American countries they look strong of recent and they are building on that momentum to this tournament.

Argentina coming out to pull a win is something I just like about the team, to me they don’t even have they beat Argentina players like we used to witness in the past but the team togetherness and determination has definitely been what has been keeping them in some games. I think it will be hard to see them not winning this competition

But how strong these two teams are can be understood by looking at the performances of Peru and Chile against Argentina. If these two teams can get points against Argentina then they have a chance to qualify for the next round. But I don't think Peru and Chile can score any points against Argentina.

The match between Ecuador and Venezuela is going to be tight soon. It is very difficult to make predictions about the matches of these teams. Even so, since I am going to bet, I have checked all the statistics of the past matches of these two teams.

In the last matches between these two teams -
Venezuela won - 1 match
Ecuador won -1 matches
Draws - 3 matches.

Ecuador have also won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches. Ecuador lost against Argentina and Italy. and wins against Guatemala, Bolivia and Honduras respectively.

Venezuela, on the other hand, have failed to win even one of their last 5 matches. Lost two matches and drew three matches. Venezuela drew with Ecuador, Peru and Guatemala.

To me it seems safe to bet on a draw in this match. The match is more likely to be a goalless draw.

To me it seems safe to bet on a draw in this match. The match is more likely to be a goalless draw.

It seems that victory tends to favor Ecuador, where the odds displayed are currently around @ 2.07 for Ecuador, while Venezuela is around 4.60, while for a draw @ 3.05. But if you want to bet, of course you need further consideration, where Venezuela could act beyond expectations by giving Ecuador a defeat.

Meanwhile, if you look at the composition of the teams in Group B, it looks like Mexico will win the group, the runner-up position will be closely contested by Ecuador and Venezuela, while I don't think Jamaica is the favorite to advance to the next round. The Ecuador vs Venezuela match will take place soon, and the lineup has been confirmed.

On the other hand, for the other group B match, which pits Mexico against Jamaica, I think it is quite easy to predict, where Mexico really deserves to be the favorite to secure full points. Apart from that, it looks like there will be a lot of goals scored in this match. Let's see how the two Group B matches go.

Well I don't know about Peru but I think Chile can always rustle up something against Argentina because they and Argentina do go back along way although for now their performance isn't that much but that still doesn't clear out the fact that Chile can definitely stand up with Argentina and actually drag some points with them. But although their game with Peru was indeed poor as you stated but that too can change when they face off with Argentina.

On the other hand, for the other group B match, which pits Mexico against Jamaica, I think it is quite easy to predict, where Mexico really deserves to be the favorite to secure full points. Apart from that, it looks like there will be a lot of goals scored in this match. Let's see how the two Group B matches go.

Mexico is the favourite team in this group and they could eventually get the highest score. They can be the first in the list if the result of Ecuador and Venezuela continues to be 0 - 0.
Their match few hours later against Jamaica should not be a big deal for them.
In the other groups you can imagine the winners except Brazil where their players will have hard times against the other 3 teams.

Mexico latest matches results is not run well because they were suffering 2 losing streak from big teams Brazil and Uruguay but indeed we cannot used these matches results as the reference to predict the outcomes of Mexico upcoming matches because probably Mexico doesn't putting all of their efforts for friendlies matches
However regarding the match against Jamaica i can see Mexico is the favourite with odds @1.48 and i think i have to agree with you because most likely Mexico will gets easy win from this match especially Mexico is still unbeated from Jamaica in the last 5 meetings so i think Mexico can able to overcomes Jamaica without any trouble but i don't think Jamaica can lost with big scores from Mexico because Jamaica recent matches results also looks impressive and for betting option i think put the money on Mexico win is safe bets although the odds is not high but in my opinion that's acceptable
