Copa America Final Tips & Prediction
The Copa America is down to just two teams with world champions Argentina looking to add another trophy to their cabinet when they face Colombia in the early hours on Monday morning.
Colombia got the better of Uruguay, who had previously beaten pre-tournament second-favourites Brazil, at the last-four stage and Los Cafeteros' chances in Miami shouldn’t be dismissed.
We have a bet builder ready for what should be a thrilling Copa America final.
Argentina v Colombia
Colombia are out to win only their second ever Copa America crown when they face 15-time champions Argentina in the Miami final.
The albiceleste are well-fancied by the market and that’s no surprise given they are the current holders of the World Cup and have Lionel Messi in their ranks. However, if the betting was judging Lionel Scaloni’s men solely on their performances in this year’s Copa America, they would surely be a bigger price to beat Colombia.
Argentina were second-best in the quarter-final tie against Ecuador, where they lost the shot count and the expected goals tally finished 1.73 v 0.87 in favour of Ecuador. Obviously, the Selection held their nerve to win out on a penalty shootout, but it wasn’t a convincing performance.
Scaloni’s men then went on to see off Canada 2-0 at the last-four stage, but they face a major step up in class against Colombia and Los Cafeteros look up to causing a shock.
Nestor Lorenzo’s men produced a fantastic performance when downing a strong Uruguay side in the semi-finals as Colombia had to dig deep after Daniel Munoz was shown a first-half red card.
That battling victory followed a 5-0 cruise against Panama and James Rodriguez has shown that he is still one of the stars of the Copa America show.
Colombia to win in 90 minutes looks a value first selection in a two-leg bet builder.
Rodriguez was the standout performer in the romp over Panama, where the 32-year-old scored his first goal of the tournament from the penalty spot.
The Sao Paulo star has been Colombia’s go to attacking force at the Copa America, and while Rodriguez has scored only one goal in the USA, the attacking midfielder has hit eight shots on goal.
The 32-year-old will once again be on set-piece duty and we have seen for many years that the former Real Madrid man has the quality to unlock defences.
Backing Rodriguez to score in the Miami final can complete our bet builder.
