Brazil vs Argentina Football Predictions And Betting Odds: Brazil to Win

Argentina booked their spot against Brazil in the finals of the Copa America which is to be hosted at Maracanã stadium in Brazil. The stage is set for the two biggest names of world football, Lionel Messi and Neymar Jnr, to battle against each other for the South American crown.

There is a lot at stake for both Messi and Neymar. Messi, being the legend he is, has still to win an international trophy with Argentina. The GOAT of Barcelona has reached many finals but in the World Cup as well as Copa America in the past. However, he has failed to cross the final hurdle of winning the trophy.

The 29-year-old Neymar is yet to win a Ballon d’Or in his highly glorified career. Neymar’s high-end move to PSG took him out of the spotlight which he was in during his playing days in Barcelona. He also missed the Copa America in 2019 due to an injury, which Brazil ended up winning.

Argentina have scored 11 goals in the tournament so far while conceding just three goals. As for the Seleção, they have scored 12 goals in the tournament while conceding only 2 goals.
