2024 Copa America Final: Prediction Argentina Versus Colombia
JAKARTA The Argentine national team will face Colombia in the 2024 Copa America final. This is an opportunity for the Tango team to become king in the competition.
The two teams faced off at Hard Rock Stadium, Florida, United States, on Monday, July 15. The kick-off of this match starts at 07.00 WIB.
Argentina, who is the defending champion, is preparing to record their 30th appearance in the final of the tournament, while Colombia will pursue their third appearance.
This is also the first final for Los Cafeteros in the Copa America since they were crowned champions for the first time in 2001. At that time they played at home.
Tango's team reached the final after securing a 2-0 win over Canada's Copa America debutants in the semifinals. It extended their unbeaten record in all competitions to 10 matches.
Julian Alvarez first scored a goal followed by team star Lionel Messi. One goal from this match made La Pulga move up to second place in the international top score track Cristiano Ronaldo.
Now La Albicelestes squad is just one step away from securing the Copa America 16th title or the most from other teams in history. So, if they win then they will automatically get the status of king in this tournament.
The collection of 15 trophies they have today is the same as having Uruguay. So, they are one step ahead of going through the rival country if they are able to stop Colombia in the final match.

La Albiceleste looks more confident to achieve success against Colombia. On paper they have won 26 of their previous 43 meetings against Colombia in all competitions.
The latest win is a penalty shootout in the 2021 Copa America semifinals. However, Argentina also needs to be wary of the extraordinary performance shown by Los Cafeteros.
The semifinal win over Uruguay extended Colombia's unbeaten record to 28 matches (22 wins and 6 draws) in all tournaments.
The last time Colombia suffered a defeat was to give up with a score of 0-1 when they met Argentina in the World Cup qualifiers in February 2022. So, this record will not be easy to block by the Tango team.
However, Colombia is not seeded in this stiff match. That's because they only beat Argentina three times in 21 meetings in this century.

Argentina (4-4-2): Emiliano Martinez; Molina, Romero, Leandro Martinez, Tagliafico; Angel Di Maria, De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister; Lionel Messi, Julian Alvarez.
