Both teams in the final are hoping to make history for their respective countries. In the last match in Copa America, we see Argentina vs. Colombia in a nail-biting final that will determine who lifts the trophy and brings glory to their country. Argentina has arguably the best player of all time, Messi, whereas Colombia has a generational squad that can lead to a tense and exciting last game. 

Who will come out on top? Keep reading to see what we think the predictions of this game will be.

Argentina will be hoping to edge out Colombia to win their 16th title in the Copa America, defending their many years of victory and kicking out Uruguay who won last year. Uruguay earned the third-place trophy in a nail-biting thriller against Canada that saw all North American teams fail miserably in this tournament. 

Now, Argentina are on the verge of completing the South American ‘treble’ if they pull off the win against Colombia, as they won the Copa America in 2021 and the World Cup two years ago. The only similar win, for a men’s international side, is Spain winning the Euros in 2008 and 2012, broken up in the middle by a substantial WC victory in 2010. 

The Argentinian coaching staff, players, and fans believe they can do it. The gaffer, Scaloni, is confident that his side can come out on top.

We always try to play the same way. The DNA of this team is the same, and that is the most important thing. We will try to win the final. Our way of playing football will not change, but it is clear the final is always special.

On the other side, Colombia is for sure the underdogs in the Argentina vs. Colombia matchup — but everyone loves an underdog. This was the first title the country would win in more than two decades. Seeing Colombia win is an upset in the making, but one that fans are here to see — the country already won over the dominating Uruguayan side, despite being down to ten men due to an early red card in the match.

The Colombian coach knows just how much heart and energy his guys have, which is why he believes they can win the gold. 

We know who our opponent is, but we need to be motivated and we need to understand that it’s a different match. It’s a match that actually prevails over everything we’ve done, and we have this opportunity to enjoy it, and we have the opportunity against the world champions.

Argentina vs. Colombia Predictions & Lineups

Looking at Argentina vs. Colombia in the final, it is pretty clear who the favorites are to win. Argentina has won two of their last five matches against one another, with Colombia only winning one. The last time these two sides saw each other was when it was Argentina vs. Colombia in a World Cup qualifier, seeing Argentina come out on top winning one goal to nil.

In all competitions, Argentina has won four of their last five games and drew one, with Colombia having the same record, their only time coming against the ever-tough Brazilian side.

Looking at Argentina vs. Colombia, two predicted lineups are the most likely to happen for both countries:

Argentina predicted lineup (4-3-3): Martínez; Molina, Romero, Martinez, Tagliafico; De Paul, Fernandez, Mac Allister; Di Maria, Messi, Alvarez

Colombia predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Vargas; Arias, Sanchez, Cuesta, Mojica; Uribe, Lerma; Arias, Rodriguez, Diaz; Cordoba
