Argentina, while disappointing with its game, is still considered the main favorite of the tournament together with Brazil and Uruguay. Despite the unconfident results, the Argentines predictably progressed from the group, albeit from 2nd place. They lost to Colombia, played a draw with Paraguay and beat Qatar.
With all due respect to Venezuela, with all the not so attractive game of the Argentines, such a pleasant coefficient for the latter in the upcoming quarterfinals of Copa America is just a gift that must be taken without thinking. As for me, the coach Scaloni did everything strategically right. All the leaders of the Argentine team are tired after the exhausting season in their clubs. There was no need to work like a dog at the group stage of the tournament, especially since Qatar was a rival. The necessary minimum, that is, the progress from the group was made with minimal energy expenses. There is also a gift in the first round of the playoffs in the form of Venezuela, which, in principle, has already accomplished its task for the championship after getting out of the group. Of course, the appetite comes with eating, but Messi, Aguero, Di Maria and Dybala e are not the dishes that Venezuela can swallow. The Argentines are more qualified and experienced, and such an opponent simply can’t eliminate them.
Prediction for the match: Argentina to win
