2021 Copa America Matches Worth Betting On June 17

Top 2021 Copa America Matches of the Day

When: Thursday, June 17

Venezuela +1 ½ (-112) vs Colombia -1 ½ (-113)

When: Thursday, June 17

Colombia has played great since June 3. The Colombian’s dominated Peru 3-0 in a FIFA World Cup Qualifying match. Then on June 8, in another World Cup qualifier, the chalk in this drew 2-2 against favored Argentina. In their first Copa America match, Colombia beat Ecuador 1-0.

Venezuela hasn’t won a match since Nov. 17, 2020, when they upset Chile 2-1 in a FIFA World Cup Qualifying contest. Since then, the Venezuelans have struggled, falling 1-3 to Bolivia on June 3, drawing 0-0 against Uruguay on June 8, and losing 0-3 to Brazil in their first Copa America match on June 13.

Colombia beat Venezuela 3-0 in the last head-to-head. Although the Colombians didn’t show their best offense in the win over Ecuador, Venezuela isn’t as good of a soccer team as the Ecuadorians. Colombia should cover this handicap.

Soccer Pick: Colombia  

Peru +1 ½ (+119) vs Brazil -1 ½ (-153)

When: Thursday, June 17

The Brazilians have played better than their third in the world FIFA ranking. The Brazilians dominated Peru 4-2 last Oct. 13. Neymar scored 3 goals. Richarlison knocked in the other goal.

In their first Copa America match, the Brazilians got 3 goals, one each from Neymar, Marquinhos, and Gabriel, when destroying Venezuela 3-0. Brazil won their 4 matches before the Copa America tilt on June 13, beating Venezuela 1-0, Uruguay 2-0, Ecuador 2-0, and Paraguay 2-0.

Peru plays tough, but Brazil is, easily, one of the top three teams in the world. Only France and Belgium can say they’re better than Brazil and it’s difficult to put either one of those teams ahead of the Brazilians because Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson is in Brazil’s net.

Brazil should have no issue covering this handicap. Expect Brazil to put on a show. Neymar and his mates should win this by 2. Don’t be surprised if Brazil wins by 3. 

Soccer Pick: Brazil .

It has been a tournament to remember so far at the Copa America Centenario, and with the quarter-finals right around the corner, it’s almost a guarantee that things are about to get even more exciting. There are still a lot of soccer odds you can bet on this coming week before this tournament comes to an end later in June, and for many bettors, that means keeping an eye open for lines that may be in the safer side.

Predictions & Safe Soccer Odds On Copa America Centenario

There is, of course, no such thing as a sure bet in soccer, which is probably a sentiment being echoed by the countless people who choked on Brazil to easily make it to the quarter-final stages. It’s a little tricky, but there may well be a few wagers that can be considered to be safer than most in the next few days, so let’s take a look at a few.

Putting Your Money On Argentina

There is no two ways about it; Argentina have looked like the class of the tournament, and they have done so without having to rely on Lionel Messi yet. They had a 2-1 win over Chile in the opening game without Messi in the team, and then beat Panama 5-0, with Messi bagging 3 goals in a brief appearance as a substitute. Their last game in the group stage is versus Bolivia, which is a team that they should easily handle. I’d take them to win that one, and might also look at the OVER if Messi is in the starting line-up.

Wager on Chile to make the Quarter-Finals

Chile and Panama are tied on 3 points behind Argentina in Group D, and they will face one another in the final group game to decide who moves on. Panama ran into injury and suspension trouble against Argentina in their previous game, and they are going to have a bit of a makeshift line-up for this crucial game. Chile are a talented side, not to mention the defending Copa America champions, and they should be too strong for an undermanned Panama side here.

A Couple of Good Quarter-Final Bets

The surprise team of the tournament has to be Peru, as they landed on top of Group B with 7 points, and eliminating Brazil in the process. As well as they have done to make it through, they have not looked particularly convincing, especially in front of goal. They are in for a tough quarter-final match-up against a Colombia team sure to be out for blood after losing to Costa Rica and finishing second in Group A. Colombia winning this one and moving on may be my safest bet of the lot.

The other quarter-final match-up that has already been decided will see the host United States go up against Ecuador. The difference maker in this one may well be the location, as Seattle is sure to be hostile territory for Ecuador. This stadium is loud, and the fans may well be the 12^th man that helps the US move on to the semis.
