Canada’s participation in Copa America 2024 is a big deal, as it marks the first time that our country will compete in this prestigious tournament. Canada’s qualification was earned with a playoff victory against Trinidad and Tobago, but now they face a challenging group stage against Argentina, Peru, and Chile.
Group A also includes defending champions Argentina, making the level of competition tough from the very start. Advancing to the knockout stage requires at least a top-two finish in a group or being one of the best third-placed teams.
Canada’s squad features several standout players who have the potential to make some impact. Alphonso Davies, who plays for Bayern Munich, is a key figure for the team, known for his speed and versatility. Jonathan David, a prolific scorer from Lille, also adds strength to Canada’s attack.
Canada will have a new leader for their debut campaign at Copa. Jesse Marsch was named coach of the Canadian national team just over a month before the start of the tournament, making him the first American to lead Team Canada.
Team Canada Copa Odds
In their pre-tournament friendlies leading up to Copa, Canada had a mixed bag of results. On June 6, they suffered a 4-0 defeat against the Netherlands, a team ranked 10th in the world.
They then bounced back with a much-improved performance just a few days later. On June 9, they played to a 0-0 draw against France, the 4th ranked team globally.
While Canada is considered a pretty big underdog at +8000, their chances should not be dismissed. The team’s recent performances have shown they can compete at a high level. Their match against Argentina will be particularly challenging, but games against Peru and Chile present more balanced opportunities for Canada to secure crucial points.
That said, Canada is a long shot to progress past the Group stage at +190.
