Odds at bet365 as at 5pm July 7th 2021. Odds may now differ

Argentina take on Brazil in the final of the 2021 Copa America. The Estadio Maracana in Rio de Janeiro is the setting for this classic football rivalry. We haven’t had a Battle of the Americas for almost two years. Both sides got through difficult semi-finals to set up this intriguing match.

Argentina topped Group A to get here. They beat Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia to seal top spot in the group. Lionel Scaloni’s men got past Ecuador in the quarters and Colombia in the semi-finals after a penalty shootout. Brazil’s path was similar. They topped Group B ahead of Peru and Colombia. Seleção beat Chile 1-0 in the quarter-finals and secured another 1-0 win over Peru in the semis.

These old rivals haven’t met since November 2019. That was a show match in Saudi Arabia that the Argentineans won 1-0. They met earlier that year in the semi-finals of the 2019 Copa America. Brazil won 2-0 on their way to lifting the trophy.

Argentina vs Brazil Stats & Analysis

Argentina don’t have the best record in this fixture. La Albiceleste haven’t beaten Brazil in a competitive match since June 2005 when qualifying for the World Cup. Hernan Crespo and Roman Riquelme got the goals for Argentina. They haven’t faced off in this competition since 2007. That was in the final and Brazil won 3-0. Lionel Messi start the match for Argentina and will feature again in this one.

It’s been a long time coming for Argentina. Success in the Copa America is long overdue for La Albiceleste who haven’t lifted the trophy since 1993. It’s their fifth appearance in the last seven finals but they lost the other four. Brazil have the better record in finals. This is their sixth final appearance in 10 tournaments. They won each of their previous five showpiece appearances to lift the trophy.

It’s a fitting final. One of these sides tops the table in almost every measure of success. Brazil have had the highest average possession and conceded the fewest number of goals per match. Argentina have had the most shots on target per match at 6.7 and no side has won possession in the final 3rd more often than them.
