Last Wednesday (10), with Colombia’s victory over Uruguay, the final of the 2024 Copa América was set, with the Colombians facing Argentina on Sunday (14) at 9 PM (Brasília time). The game is expected to attract the attention of millions of bettors in Brazil and around the world. To find out what the market expects from the match, check out some of the main odds for the game, consulted on some of the most well-known platforms below.
Advantage for Argentina
Argentina has an odd of 2.25 to win in regular time, while a Colombian victory pays 3.60, and a draw 3. For the prediction on who will be the champion, the Argentines have 1.61 against Colombia’s 2.30.
Asian Handicap
For those who like the option of the Asian handicap, it is possible to hedge against a possible draw, for example. On one site consulted, Argentina’s main line appears as 0.0, -0.5 (also known as 0.25) at 1.95, while Colombia’s, with the same odd, is +0.25. In both cases, a draw would return half of the bet amount.
Few Goals
The goal line for the game was set at 2.5, with an advantage for the “Under” with odds of 1.61 against 2.30 for the “Over”. In the “Both Teams to Score” market, there is a slight advantage for “No”, which appears with an odd of 1.80 against 1.95 for “Yes”. In the combination of the two lines, it is possible to place a bet on “Under 2.5 and No” at 2.05, for example, while “Over 2.5 and No” pays 11 to 1.
Faith in Messi and Luis Diaz
Despite scoring only one goal in this edition of the Copa América, in the semifinal against Canada, a betting house places Lionel Messi as the favorite to score a goal in the final. The odd is 2.62 to score at any time or 5 to score the first goal of the game. On the Colombian side, Luis Diaz has the lowest odd, at 3.75 at any time or 7.50 for the first of the match.
Extra Time or Penalties?
On another platform consulted, it is possible to bet whether the game will be decided in extra time if tied in regular time, or go to penalties if the tie persists in extra time. In the first case, the odd for a decision in extra time is 1.14 for “No” and 5.80 for “Yes”, while reaching penalties pays 4.75 for “Yes” and 1.19 for “No”.
Final 1-1?
In the correct score market, a popular betting site places 1-1 as the most likely score at the end of 90 minutes, with an odd of 6. Next is a 0-0 draw, paying 6.40, and an Argentine 1-0 victory, with an odd of 6.50. A Colombian 1-0 victory is placed as the fourth most likely correct result, with a return of 7.40 for every 1 real bet.
