Argentina has breezed through to the quarter-final stage of the Copa America, winning all three matches so far. While Messi has yet to find the back of the net, his impact on the team’s performance cannot be overlooked.
After a minor injury forced Messi to sit out a game, his return to the starting XI is highly anticipated. With Lautaro Martinez stepping up in his absence and scoring four goals in the group stage, Argentina’s attacking prowess remains strong.
Although the golden boot may seem out of reach for Messi, statistics show that it’s only a matter of time before he gets on the scoresheet. His performance in the tournament has been impressive, with an average of 3.5 shots per match and 1.5 on target.
Argentina’s upcoming matches against Ecuador, Venezuela, and Canada provide favorable opportunities for Messi to showcase his scoring ability. Priced at 17.0 for a top-two finish in the golden boot race, backing him to score anytime against Ecuador is an attractive option for fans and bettors alike.
With Messi’s track record of delivering in crucial moments, there’s no reason to doubt his ability to lead Argentina to success in the Copa America. Stay tuned for more updates on Messi’s performance as the tournament progresses.
