Argentina vs Colombia Odds, Prediction & Analysis for Final Game

Sunday is an absolutely massive day for football fans, as we have a pair of major tournament finals coming our way.

We will have the European Championship Final between England and Spain in the afternoon, after which we will get a little breather before we get to the Cop America Final, which will see Colombia and Argentina go head-to-head.

My Analysis

We are all over the Copa final here, which is one that looks to be a fantastic matchup.

Argentina, the reigning Copa and World Cup champions, are the favorite at odds of +110, but you cannot overlook the current run of form that Colombia is on, which we will get to in just a moment.

Both of these teams have some real talent on the offensive side of the field, but does that mean that we should expect goals?

Keep in mind, that both have been solid defensively, so it could easily go the other way and be more of a defensive struggle.

At MyBookie Sportsbook, the goal total for this one is set at 1 ½.

Argentina Betting Odds +110

When you are the world champion and have one of the greatest players to ever play the game in your line-up, the bookies are almost always going to be on your side.

That is very much the case with Lionel Messi and Argentina, but I think it is fair to say that we have yet to see the best out of the defending champions.

That said, you cannot overlook the fact that this team is about as experienced as it gets when it comes to high pressure tournament games.

They have been here before and have proven themselves worthy time and again.

After a penalty shootout to get past the quarterfinals, Argentina was stronger in the semifinal, beating Canada 2-0 for the second time in this tournament.

They have scored 8 times in 6 games and surrendered just 1 goal, so that defense is going to be tough to break down.

Colombia Betting Odds +320

As we mentioned at the top of this piece, Colombia is on an astonishing run of for and are now unbeaten in their last 28 games.

This, though, is probably further than anyone reasonably expected them to go, as you need to go all the way back to 2001 to find the last time they made it to the Copa America final, which they ultimately won that year.

Their appearance here, though, has been somewhat marred by a rather testy semifinal won over Uruguay, which was a game that ended in a brawl, with Colombia also losing a key player to a red card in that game.

Colombia is the top scorer in this tournament, netting 12 times in 6 games, while surrendering just twice.

They proved their defensive prowess by keeping Uruguay out despite playing with 10 men for the full second half in the semi-final.
