After reviewing both games on Monday, Fornelli is bullish on Argentina (-140) to overcome Chile in their tournament opener. Since losing 2-0 to Brazil in the 2019 Copa America, Argentina has gone undefeated with seven victories and six draws. There are several offensive weapons on the team, but none are more dangerous than Lionel Messi. Last season, the 33-year-old great was La Liga's top scorer, with 30 goals in 35 games for Barcelona.

Argentina also has players like Angel Di Maria, an experienced midfielder, as well as Lautaro Martinez and Nicolas Gonzalez, who are both young. The 23-year-olds have scored two goals for Argentina in World Cup qualifiers, with Messi. Argentina has gone undefeated in its last five meetings with Chile, winning two and drawing three times, including a 1-1 draw in a World Cup qualifying match on June 3.
