These 2 nations actually met in the first game of the tournament when they were both in Group A together. Argentina won that game 2-0 — will it be the same this time or will Jesse Marsch’s Canada show a resurgence after their penalty shootout win over Venezuela? Argentina vs Canada will kick off at 8:00 pm ET live on FS1 and we have our best bet of the game for you. We’ll have our expert soccer predictions for EVERY Copa America and Euro 2024 game, but for now, let’s dive into our Argentina vs Canada prediction for Tuesday.

Argentina vs Canada best bet: Argentina Win in Shutout (-113)

Argentina remain a formidable force in international football and the reigning Copa America and world champions look set to book their place in another final at Canada’s expense. Argentina have eased their way to the semifinal stage of this tournament and our prediction is for the Albiceleste to cruise through in a shutout win. Things didn’t go their way in the quarterfinals as a late Ecuador equalizer forced a penalty shootout, but Aston Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez was once again the hero, making 2 crucial saves to send his team though to the final four.

The 1-1 tie was the first time Argentina had conceded in 4 games at these finals, and we predict another win and shutout for the defending champions. Canada offered little resistance on matchday one, as they fell to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Copa America holders with just 2 shots on target. Expect a similar sort of game here.
