Argentina vs. Colombia prediction

• Score prediction: Argentina 2-1 Colombia.

Argentina are favored to win the Copa America 2024 final against Colombia. The reigning Copa America and World Cup champions have been dominant, reaching three of the last four Copa America finals.

Argentina's defense has been exceptional, conceding only one goal in the tournament. And, although past his peak, having Messi still counts for an awful lot.

Colombia, though a formidable opponent on a remarkable 28-game unbeaten streak, faces a tough challenge. With a solid defense, a top goalkeeper in Emiliano Martinez, and Messi leading the charge, Argentina's experience and quality should see them retain their Copa crown.
