Copa America FINAL
Argentina is having a good tournament...They played in Group A, which they did well and advanced from first place with a 3/1/0 - 7:2 score.
Brazil played in Group B, which they also (like Argentina) did quite well with the same 3/1/0 - 10:2 score.
Brazil has been more dominant than Argentina in their performances. Brazil dominates on the ball, creates a lot of chances and enjoys football. Brazil also has the huge advantage of being at home.
In Argentina it often depends only on Messi, if he doesn't play well in a match it will be a problem for the whole team.

Semi-finals:
Argentina 1:1 Colombia (2:1 after penalty shootout)
Brazil 1:0 Peru

Quarter-finals:
Argentina 3:0 Ecuador
Brazil 1:0 Chile

My bet:
Winner of the match to decision (To Lift the Trophy) - Brazil @ 1.57 (bet365)

We have two big rivals in the final, so the cards should be taken care of. There are no shortage of yellow cards in the games between the two sides and even in friendlies they are surpassing that mark. So there should be a lot of yellows in the final encounter.
Brazil is the host country and they don't want to lose against Argentina. Argentina, on the other hand, has not won the Copa America for a very long time and is hungry for the trophy.
We can definitely expect an exciting and intense final. It will not be without emotion either.
Moreover, referee Ostojich is a stricter referee.

My bet:
Number of Cards in Match - over 5.5 @ 1.72 (bet365)

Messi has traditionally been the most productive player of the tournament, executor of penalty kicks and freekicks. He has scored in 3 of the 6 games in the tournament.
This calendar year, he has played a total of 37 games, scoring in 23 of them, a total of 33 times, mostly in a Barcelona jersey in La Liga.
Their last clash against each other was a friendly match in the autumn of 2019, Argentina won 1-0 with Messi's goal.
Messi could finally win a big trophy with the national team and his motivation to score at least one goal should be even bigger.

My bet:
Messi scores a goal @ 3.30 (local bookie)
