Argentina and Chile have both advanced to the next round but can still be knocked out of first and second place if they drop points. Here are some interesting betting picks for matchday 4 in Group A of the Copa America.
Bolivia - Uruguay
Uruguay got the monkey off their back and ended a 400-minute goalless drought in their match against Chile. Nonetheless the Celeste have disappointed having only 1 point out of 6. At -420, Uruguay is the clear favorite to Bolivia’s +1300. Bolivia could surprise Uruguay who are prone to defensive lapses and has difficulty creating chances. If you are going to bet outright and don’t want to bet on the favorite, then a draw at +480 could be a good option.
A correct score line bet could be an interesting pick, if you want to play it safe and bet on a favorite, if there is a match that Uruguay can open the flood gates it’s this one and betting on a 2-0 or 3-0 win with the fire power Uruguay has could be a smart choice. At +475 and +600 respectively they are good payouts.
Chile - Paraguay
Paraguay was supposed to have a breakout tournament, but it has been the same old results for the white and red. Chile have begun to show their quality in their first three games, being the only team to get anything from Argentina. Chile is the smart bet if you want to pick a winner outright at +145, Paraguay, who in theory should have the talent to produce more is at +250.
Look for this match to be a low scoring affair, betting under 2.5 goals could be a good option for this match and even though it is paying out -200, it could be a good way to earn some cash. Betting that Chile could be in the lead by halftime is paying out +220, as Chile has scored 2 of their 3 goals in the first half of the tournament.
