Argentina
Argentina was compelled to book their semifinals through the penalty shout-outs after Ecuador’s late comeback to balance the score to 1-1. Emiliano Martinez did a good job playing the 2 balls from Ecuador just after their captain, Messi, clipped the crossbar with the opening penalty. Messi was in doubt to play that last game due to an injury. Lionel Scaloni is longing for a back-to-back Copa America final appearance though he was not too pleased to claim a place in the semis through penalties.
After surviving Ecuador in the quarter-finals, Argentina will not be ready to make their semis even harder hence we anticipate to see them engaging all the tactics to skip a sloppy defense this time. The final is at stake hence we can expect all key players to engage in this battle.
Canada
It is a rematch with the reigning champions, in a very crucial stage of the Copa America. This is making their journey in this tournament even harder despite the promising performance they showed when they beat Venezuela in the quarter-final. They need to be very compact in this game as their opponent is well-structured and has a solid defense line that led them to a failure to score at least a goal when they fell to a 3-0 defeat in their group stage match.
Tajon Buchanan is in the recovery room healing his wounds while Derek Cornelius has been suspended hence both of them will miss the semis. The Bayern Munich, winger, Alphonso Davies will be the man to watch in this game and maybe could bring in a lot of surprises in this match.

Our Argentina vs Canada betting tips
The Champions are the clear favorite in this match and nothing can stop them from showing the Canadians the exit door in this tournament.

This put Argentina on the command side for a victory.

#TIP 1: Argentina Win
As the competition advanced to the most exciting stage, both teams seemed to engage in a defensive game that invited very few goals. Similar to Argentina, Canada has allowed only one goal in their 2 recent games in this tournament while their group-stage clash ended with 2 goals only. Their semi-finals will be even tighter and we can expect even fewer number of goals. It is a time for closing their boxes if they are meant to reach the finals. We say betting on Under 2.5 Goals could be the best way to win your bet from the best betting sites in Africa.
