Some of the best forwards in world football will collide on the international stage this summer in Copa America. To name the best of the best Lionel Messi, Edinson Cavani, and Neymar Jr will try to make their mark. The bookies’ Copa America 2019 top scorer predictions opt for Neymar to score the most. However, we think Messi will be the last man standing in Brazil.

The 46th edition of Copa America will kick off on June 14. It will run for three weeks until the final on July 7. Copa America will clearly be one of the biggest events in the summer. 12 teams are participating, with Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay each to lead a seperate group.

Brazil hosts the 2019 edition, offering its national team a great chance to shine in front of the home crowd. Brazil tops Copa America 2019 predictions to win the title for the first time since 2007. In addition, the most expensive player Neymar in Selecao leads the Copa America 2019 top scorer predictions. However, we recommend betting on Messi to hit the spotlight and win the top scorer title.

Neymar needs to score the most to clear all bad memories

The 27-year-old superstar had a disappointing season after PSG lost Coupe de France final and dropped out in UCL last-16. Neymar has also suffered from a bad campaign last summer’s World Cup, in which he was ridiculed for his diving antics. The last setback came this week when he lost Brazil captaincy due to his disciplinary issues.

Online sportsbook news in Brazil expect Neymar to try banish all these bad memories by winning an accolade for Brazil. He hopes to redeem himself in front of his home crowd by finishing the 2019 edition as the top goalscorer. Should Neymar’s hopes materialize the odds are 4.00 at Unibet Sportsbook.

Messi provided most assists in Copa America’s history

There is no doubt that the entire world will be watching Messi, but will he fail again? In Copa America 2016 final, Messi missed in a penalty shootout and Argentina lost the title for Chile. He famously retired aftermath. It was Messi’s third consecutive defeat in the final of an international tournament. Later on the Barcelona star reversed his decision and joined the national team in the 2018 World Cup, but again, without success.

Although Messi never won a major trophy for Argentina, he still scored many individual achievements. He provided most assists in Copa America’s history. He was also the man of the match for 9 times in the tournament. So, even if Argentina fail to win Coap America, it is still  safe to choose Messi to be the top scorer with 6.00 odds at Unibet Sportsbook.

Cavani to take the responsibility of scoring for Uruguay

Online sportsbook sites in Brazil suggest that Edinson Cavani, Aguero, Suarez, and Gabriel Jesus are all likely to score plenty of goals. Edinson Cavani has scored 29 goals in all competitions this season. He will play for the most successful side in Copa America history. Therefore, he will have a great chance to compete for the top scorer with 9.00, according to Copa America 2019 top scorer predictions.

Cavani’s teammate Luis Suarez values at 10.00 to become the top scorer, but he is still in doubt to join the squad. Suarez underwent surgery on a knee injury and remains out. So it will be very risky to put him on your betting list. The other two prolific strikers are Premier League winners Sergio Aguero (7.00) and Gabriel Jesus (10.00). Aguero missed out Premier League golden boot. While Jesus is very happy to be chosen by Tite after both Lucas Moura and Vinicius Jr. have been left out. It remains to be seen if Aguero or Jesus will win another trophy after celebrating Man City’s domestic treble.
