Luis Diaz and Alexis Mac Allister will represent Liverpool in the 2024 Copa America final. One will become the Reds’ fourth CONMEBOL title, with the latter considered the more likely.

Whatever the outcome of the 2024 Copa America final in Miami later today, Liverpool will have a player on the winning team. Argentina, the reigning World Cup champions, will compete for their 16th title in the competition, hoping to surpass Uruguay. They will face Colombia, which is looking for its second success after winning the title in 2001.

The contest will pit Alexis MacAllister against Luis Diaz. The stakes might be slightly higher for Diaz, as Mac Allister already has a World Cup medal in his collection.

Regardless of who wins, Liverpool has a history of Copa America titles. Luis Suarez was the first, as Uruguay defeated Paraguay 3-0 in 2011. Eight years later, a Brazil team including Alisson Becker and Roberto Firmino defeated Peru 3-1 in the final. So, which current Red will be the next to join the CONMEBOL honours board?

Argentina is the bookmakers’ favourite, and the highly acclaimed Opta supercomputer agrees. It has supported Argentina since before the competition began and will continue to do so.

Currently, Argentina has a 50.9 percent chance of winning in 90 minutes, while Colombia has a 25.4 percent chance. With the possibility of extra time and penalties, Mac Allister’s team has a 63.0% chance of winning the trophy by all means required.

Argentina also has a psychological advantage with a big lead in head-to-head history, with 25 wins and only nine losses in 42 meetings. Argentina has won seven games and lost only one in the last 15 years, making the situation even more one-sided.
