Argentina vs Brazil: Copa America final
Argentina lost to Brazil at the last Copa America. Will they be able to take revenge on July 11? We have prepared a prediction for this game.
Command Analysis
Argentina
ArgentinaArgentina national team was in the same group as Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, and Bolivia, and the Albiseleste were considered the clear favourite. However, in the first game against Chile, Lionel Scaloni's team only could get a draw (1:1). But that was the only time they lost points: three victories over Uruguay (1:0), Paraguay (1:0), and Bolivia (4:1) allowed the Argentines to win the group with 10 points.
In the quarterfinals, Argentina faced Ecuador. Once again they were regarded as favourites, and they took the lead in the first half thanks to Rodrigo De Paul. Goals from Lautaro Martinez and Lionel Messi helped Argentina secure a landslide 3:0 victory in Goiânia.
In the semifinals, Argentina defeated Colombia. Colombia fought valiantly: they scored an equalizer and defended a draw till the penalty shootout. Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez was a real hero, he saved three penalties, and his efforts allowed Argentina to get to the final.
Brazil
BrazilBrazil national team did not experience any particular problems at the group stage either. Tite's men competed for the playoffs against Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela. Confident victories over Venezuela (3:0) and Peru (4:0) have already guaranteed the Seleçao their ticket to the playoffs, but Brazil did not stop there.
In the third round, they played a very dramatic game against Colombia. Brazil were losing to Los Cafeteros from the 10th minute and only managed to level the score 12 minutes before the final whistle. Three victorious points were brought to Brazil by the Argentine referee Nestor Pitana, who in the 10th minute of injury time was involved in the attack of the Brazilians, which ended in a goal. Despite the protests of the Colombian players, he allowed that goal.
After a 1-1 draw with Ecuador, Brazil advanced to the quarterfinals, where they faced Chile. The fight was not spectacular, but Brazil put the ball in the net at the start of the second half. Later, Gabriel Jesus was sent off for his extremely dangerous play, but the Chileans could not take advantage of that.
Brazil completely controlled the semifinal game against Peru, even though the score was only 1:0. It was an effortless win since the opponent was much weaker.

Tip and bets
Brazil do not play open attacking football in the knockouts, but rather pressure the opponent. Argentina play in a very similar manner. So we wouldn't expect an exciting performance from the finalists, at least not from the start of the game. The price of a mistake in the final is too high.
At the same time, both teams have stellar attacking performers who can create a lot of dangerous moments. if one of the teams concede, they will definitely try to play bolder, so we would bet on an exchange of goals.
Our prediction - both to score.
Brazil are playing at home, which could give them a certain advantage if fans were present in the stands. However, Maracanã will be empty, and Argentina already fully adapted to Brazil's stadiums during this tournament. We don't think that the home factor will play a very big role in the final.
The last time Argentina won Copa America was back in 1993. It would mean a lot for Lionel Messi and his team to win this trophy. Argentina are in good form, and we believe they will seize this moment to win the final against their main rival.
Our second bet - Argentina to win
