Argentina maintains their smooth progress towards the Title, as they go head-to-head with Canada, while Uruguay and Colombia fiercely compete on the opposite end of the bracket.

Upon examining the title odds, it is evident that one of our remaining teams stands out as an outlier.

Copa America 2024 Updated Betting Odds

Since we are down to our last four teams, let’s take a look at the current odds to win it all, courtesy of BetOnline.

• Argentina -125
• Uruguay +275
• Colombia +350
• Canada +2200

Clearly, Canada stands out from the rest. While they may be content with their presence, considering their previous defeat to Argentina, it is unlikely that the outcome will be different in the upcoming match. Nevertheless, it is commendable for Canada to have come this far. However, if anyone has the potential to overpower the reigning World Cup Champions, it would be Uruguay or Colombia.

We should explore these two matchups further.

Is it possible for Lautaro Martinez and Argentina to make it to the Copa America Final?

Argentina vs Canada

In the Copa America Semifinals, the top-ranked team globally will face off against the 48th ranked Canada squad. It is worth mentioning that the former has already triumphed over the latter during the Group Stage.

Despite putting up a strong fight for 45 minutes, Canada was unable to prevent Argentina from scoring two goals and ultimately winning the opening match of the tournament with a 2-0 victory. However, Canada managed to bounce back and secure two wins, earning them a respectable second place in their group. In the Quarterfinals, they faced off against Group B winner, Venezuela, and emerged victorious through a penalty shootout. It is evident from the Vegas odds that Canada is considered to be significantly less talented compared to Argentina, and with their impressive performance in soccer, Argentina remains a formidable opponent.

They are fully prepared and poised to secure their spot in the 4th Copa America Title Match out of the past 5 tournaments. I anticipate their progression to be effortless, and I even have a specific wager in mind for tomorrow’s match!

Since their victory in 2001, James Rodriguez and Colombia have not made it to the Copa America Final.

Colombia vs Uruguay

Colombia and Uruguay have secured spots in the World Top 15, occupying the 12th and 14th positions, respectively. I am filled with excitement for their upcoming semifinal clash, as these were the teams I rooted for to defeat Argentina. Brazil never quite won me over, as I believed they required more experience to make a significant impact in this tournament.

Nevertheless, we currently witness exceptional performances from both teams. Uruguay has impressively scored 9 goals during the Group Stage. On the other hand, Colombia triumphed over Brazil in group D and secured a 5-0 victory against Panama in the Quarterfinals, propelling them to the next stage. Anticipating an offensive showdown, it is worth noting that these two teams are not only the highest-scoring ones in the tournament, but also the only ones, alongside Argentina, to consistently net goals in every match.

According to Vegas, Uruguay appears to have a slight advantage, and I tend to agree. However, I suggest revisiting on Wednesday for a particular wager on this game.
