Argentina vs. Canada: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

Reigning world and Copa America champions Argentina are just one step away from another final and the tournament favourites now face Canada, who are in the final four on their first appearance in this competition.

The pair have already met in these finals, with the Albiceleste running out 2-0 winners in their opening match of the group stage.

Argentina had to rely on a penalty shootout to see off Ecuador in the quarter-finals, while Canada also needed penalties to edge their way past Venezuela.

Argentina vs. Canada betting picks and predictions

Argentina to win to nil (-110)

Argentina cruised through the group stage of the Copa America in the USA and only Ecuador have offered much resistance to the reigning champions.

Kevin Rodriguez's equaliser in stoppage time stunned the Albiceleste, but shootout king Emiliano Martinez came to the rescue with two saves to send Argentina through to the semi-finals.

Canada also has to endure the torture of spot-kicks and their progress to this stage has been much more laboured with the Reds scoring just one goal in the group stage.

These two sides met in game one of this tournament with Argentina running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a match they dominated and there is every reason to expect a similar outcome at the MetLife Stadium on Tuesday night.

Argentina have played Canada just twice, winning 2-0 and 5-0, so backing them to win this encounter without conceding a goal looks a solid way to go.

Lionel Scaloni's side emerged from the group stage with three clean sheets and they conceded just six shots on Martinez's goal in their trio of fixtures before the knockout stages.

The Canucks managed just two of those and it is hard to see them breaching an Argentina side which has lost just two of the last 60 matches in all competitions.

Argentina to win 2-0 (+500)

Canada have scored just two goals in four matches at the Copa America and they have failed to score in four of their last six matches in all competitions.

They have never scored in two fixtures with Argentina and it is difficult to see them breaking their duck this week against such solid opponents.

Argentina beat Canada 2-0 when they met earlier in this competition and that looks a likely scoreline in this rapid rematch.

Five of Argentina's last six games have featured just two goals or fewer and they are unlikely to cut loose once more if they get their noses in front and begin to have thoughts of a forthcoming final.

Lautaro Martinez to score at anytime (+150)

Argentina striker Lautaro Martinez helped guide Inter Milan to Serie A glory this season and he looks determined to push his nation to more silverware, too.

Martinez is leading the scoring charts at the Copa America with four goals and he can enhance his golden boot claims with at least one more goal against Canada.

The 26-year-old scored in all three group games for the Albiceleste and has had seven shots on target in these finals.

Martinez is in a rich vein of form and, although withdrawn early in the win over Ecuador, should get the opportunity to fire his side into the final on Tuesday. Backing him to hit the back of the net looks like a value play.
