Argentina vs Guatemala: Preview, Prediction & Betting Tips

Fresh off their World Cup win in 2022, Argentina is looking to defend their Copa America title this summer. Led by the legendary Lionel Messi, they're one of the favorites to take home the trophy. This match against Guatemala is their last friendly before the tournament kicks off.

Guatemala won't be participating in Copa America, but they're currently battling it out in World Cup qualifiers. They've shown some inconsistency lately, scoring a lot in some games and struggling in others.
Argentina's defense has been nearly impenetrable in recent games, only conceding one goal in their last 13 matches! Up front, Messi is on fire in Major League Soccer, scoring 12 goals already this season. He'll be looking to carry that form over to the national team.
