The Copa America final on Saturday July 4th will decide the 2015 champions as hosts Chile are determined to send Argentina packing without a trophy. Although, with Argentina's 6-1 win over Paraguay in the semi final match, we see the team entering the final in higher spirits and feeling confident.
Chile are hoping that playing on their home grounds will work in their favour and give the team that advantage they need in the final. But, up until now, Chile are yet to see their main attacking weapons play at their full potential. Arsenal's forward Alexis Sanchez is one of those still to hit his optimum performance, and what better opportunity to do so than the Copa final?
Argentina have demonstrated how dangerous they can be when they have all guns blazing - Paraguay were the unlucky team to fully experience this in their semi final match – and captain and forward Lionel Messi is an important part of that.
There's no denying that Argentina Coach Gerardo Martino possesses the more dominant attacking threats, with Messi and Man Utd's attacking midfielder Angel Di Maria backing striker Sergio Aguero making the team one of the strongest in the world.
A midfield trio of Arturo Vidal, Marcelo Diaz and Charles Aranguiz may be up for the mission of taking on Messi and Co, but Chile will need to be at the top of their game if they plan on exhausting Martino's resources and denying Argentina a chance of winning.
It's set to be a powerful game from both teams. The match kicks off on Saturday July 4th at 4pm ET and our prediction is Argentina 2-1 Chile.
