Copa América, the South American continental football tournament, will kick off tomorrow early in the morning with the clash between Chile, the host nation, and Ecuador. The prestigious tournament is expected all around the world.
• Venezuela are huge underdogs
• Brazil are favourites in the group
• Colombia is ready to cause surprise
This year’s championship is expected to be thrilling and extremely spectacular as there are many great teams participating in the tournament. Our aim now will be to introduce the clashes at Group C, so that our readers can place better bets and win more.
Peru and Venezuela are underdogs
There are 4 teams competing against each other in all 3 groups of the prestigious tournament. The first 2 will qualify straight to the quarter-finals while out of the 3 third placed sides, the two best ones will also go through to the next stage of the exciting competition.
online gambling sites in Chile report that the 4 teams of Group C are Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela. Of course, the biggest name of these is obviously 5-time World Cup champion Brazil, however Colombia, by Real Madrid star James Rodriguez showing the way to his teammates, is ready to take revenge on Brazil for getting knocked out in the World Cup.
In addition, the two other teams should not be written down in advance as well as they are able to get great results against anyone, any time. However, online sportsbooks and internet casinos believe it is basically impossible for both Peru and Venezuela to reach any of the top two spots in the group.
The odds for Peru or Venezuela collecting more points than at least two other teams in the group, and hence claiming one of the top two places are 5.00 (4/1) for both teams according to the measures of BetVictor Sportsbook. Meanwhile, the odds for Brazil claiming the top spot in Group C are 1.62 (8/13) while Colombia’s first place odds are 4.00 (3/1).
Brazil are favourite against anyone in the group
Group C’s competition will start by the fifth match of the tournament, which will be an exciting encounter between Colombia and Venezuela. The Colombian side is clear favourite for the clash against the weaker football nation as Colombia did well in recent times while Venezuela is one of the least successful sides of the Copa América.
Online sportsbooks in Chile would be willing to pay odds at 9.00 (8/1) in case Venezuela defeated James Rodríguez and his side. Drawing would mean a 5 times multiplier for the stake as the odds are 5.00 (4/1) while Colombia defeating Venezuela are at 1.4 (2/5) by BetVictor Sportsbook.
The sixth game of the tournament will be played between Brazil and Peru, in which Neymar and his side are expected to collect 3 points without any trouble at all. Bet365 Sportsbook has set the odds for Brazil winning the game at 1.2 (1/5) while those for Brazil losing their opening game in the Copa are 15.00 (14/1).
Brazil’s key player is Barcelona star Neymar Junior, who is expected to shine throughout the entire competition as great things were expected of him during the World Cup in Brazil as well. Neymar scoring a goal against Peru is believed to be pretty much possible, if not expected, because Bet365 Sportsbook has set the odds for this at 1.53 (8/15).
Brazil against Colombia will be a great clash
However, the second round can be decisive regarding the end of the group stage. Venezuela will face Peru in a clash that is supposed to decide which team will be able to claim the third position. In advance, Peru has a little bit better chances over their rivals, however Venezuela surely wants to achieve something big this year.
However, another great clash will be played in the second round, a thrilling derby between the two favourites of the group, Brazil and Colombia. Neymar and James Rodríguez will lead their teams and they both will want to bring glory to their nation by defeating a terrific rival.
Chilean gambling news report that Brazil is tight favorite in the encounter between these two incredible teams, but they are not writing off Colombia either. The Yellows have a great team, which they have shown in Brazil 2014 during the World Cup, where they were eliminated by the Brazilian side.
That is the very reason what gives more chance for Colombia to defeat the opposing side. They are burning from desire to take revenge for their failure in the most prestigious football event, the World Cup. Then again, Brazil are favourites, but that game is completely unpredictable.
