Competition: Copa America
Market: Lionel Messi to score anytime
Odds: 23/17 @ 888 Sport
Argentina forward Lionel Messi could take centre stage in tonight’s Copa America final against Chile, with the Barcelona man looking to make his mark in the tournament. He’s been overdue a goal this summer, but could well be the difference in a tight game this evening.
His side have made consecutive finals of major international tournaments, finishing runners-up in the 2014 World Cup, and now they have a chance to avenge their past failure by seeing past Chile and winning the South American crown.
It would cap a dream season for Messi, as the 28-year-old has already won the treble with his club (La Liga, Champions League, Copa Del Rey), but he needs to shoulder the responsibility and finally deliver on the international stage.
Despite Argentina boasting a wealth of talent in the side, the Sky Blues haven’t been too prolific in front of goal. Instead, it’s been their defence that has drawn more plaudits, so manager Gerardo Martino is hoping the forwards can play their part.
As a result, 888 Sport are giving odds of 23/17 for Lionel Messi to score anytime in tonight’s Copa America final against Chile.
