Copa America Heats Up! Quarterfinal Matchups, Odds & Predictions for Who Will Advance

The group stage is complete at the 2024 Copa America, and we are now down to the final 8 teams with a shot at winning it all.

There are some surprises here, the most notable of which is that Mexico and the United States failed to make it out of the group stage.

 

My Analysis

One bad performance can mean the end of the road for anyone, so let’s take a look at the upcoming 4 games with odds and picks provided by MyBookie Sportsbook.

Argentina vs Ecuador

Ecuador is a bit of a surprise entry into the quarterfinals, finishing ahead of Mexico to finish 2nd in the group with 4 points.

Argentina is unbeaten in their last 5 meetings with Ecuador, surrendering just 1 goal in those meetings. They are in at -224 to win this one and favored by 1 ½.

Copa America Pick: Argentina 2-0 Ecuador
Draw: +310 // Total O/U: 2.5

Venezuela +154 vs Canada +193

This is an interesting one, as there appears to be very little separating these two teams. Venezuela topped their group, winning all 3 games while scoring 6 times and giving up just 1 goal.

They are modest favorites here at odds of +162, but they will have a tough time against a Canada team that picked up 4 points in the group stage and gave Argentina all they could handle.

The 2 previous meetings between these nations ended in a tie, but we need to have a winner here.

Copa America Pick: Venezuela 1-0 Canada
Draw: +208 // Total O/U: 2.5

Colombia vs Panama

The group stage proved to be very successful for Colombia, who beat Brazil to the top by picking up 7 points from their 3 games.

They are now unbeaten in 26 straight games after their 1-1 tie with Brazil and are heavy favorites here at odds of -310.

Panama delivered one of the biggest shocks of the tournament with a 2-1 win over the United States in the group stage.

This, though, is a much tougher game and I think they are in danger of being heavily beaten.

Copa America Pick: Colombia 3-0 Panama
^  

Uruguay vs Brazil

There is no doubt about it, this is the biggest matchup in the quarterfinals.

Uruguay has looked like the most dominant team in the tournament, winning all 3 games while scoring 8 goals and surrendering just 1.

Brazil has not looked particularly impressive, winning once and tying twice in the group stage.

Despite that, they are still the slight favorite to win here, but I am going with the underdog and taking Uruguay to win at odds of +184.

Copa America Pick: Uruguay 2-1 Brazil
Draw: +222 // Total O/U: 2.5
When: Saturday, July 6, 9 PM EST
