Copa America Betting Markets

The most popular ways to bet on the Copa America is individual games, the overall winner, to make the final, and top goalscorer in the tournament.

  • Individual Games

Many punters know what’s available to bet for individual games, but football betting generally offers markets on both teams and a draw and an over/under goals. Handicap football betting is less popular due to the lower number of goals scored in Copa America games.

The best football bookmakers, like 1xbet, 888starz and Betwinner, offer more than just that, but those are the main two markets. Other markets offered include first-half or second-half stats, which team will score first, and which player will score first. If you fancy yourself as a real mystic meg, you can even try to predict the exact score for excellent odds.

  • Tournament winner 

The most popular market by far will be that of the outright tournament winner. This is the most straight forward and accessible for fans, who will select which team – or teams – they believe can go all the way.

Copa America history is always a decent indicator as to who may do well, with Uruguay – perhaps surprisingly – winning the most Copa America titles – with 15 to their name. Argentina are second on the list with 14 while reigning champions Brazil have underachieved massively, only winning eight editions. It just goes to show that talent and star power alone can only take you so far in football.

Other factors also come into play, such as where Copa America tournament is taking place. This is because all editions hosted by Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay were won by the host nation. In addition, there is also the form guide, which can be pivotal in terms of predicting the overall winner.

For instance, Brazil’s terrible performance at the 2016 Copa America was a foreshowing of their lacklustre run at the 2018 World Cup, where the samba boys were eliminated at the Quarter-final stage. 

  • Top goalscorer 

Copa America top scorer market is always especially popular given the high-profile attackers that normally appear at the Copa America. With a large pool of players vying for the accolade at the start of the tournament, you can find very good value in this particular market – if you know what you are doing.

All kind of considerations must be factored into your choice, from recent form to their injury records, and even player’s track record in previous international competitions. Some strikers are lethal for their respective clubs, but seemingly get weighed down by the national jersey. 

Lionel Messi is a good example of a player who has never managed to hit top form at the Copa America. The Barcelona man has never won Copa America golden boot, despite being Argentina’s record goalscorer.

Copa America Predictions

While Argentina are narrow favourites to win a record-equalling 15th title, our Copa America 2021 predictions what they will face sizeable hurdles this summer. Defensive frailty remains a huge concern for manager Lionel Scaloni, as indeed does the unresolved goalkeeper situation. This could arguably hand the initiative to Brazil, who come in at around 23/10 (decimal odds 3.30, american odds 230). As defending champions, they boast a squad packed with world-class talent, from front to back.

However, if you fancy backing a nation outside of the big two favourites, you can’t go too far wrong with 5/1 Colombia (decimal odds 6.00, american odds 500). Spearheaded by the mercurial James Rodriguez, anything is possible for the co-hosts – especially as all of their previous wins in the Copa America have come on home turf. History tells us one thing: don’t make Copa America bet against the hosts. Or in this case, the co-hosts.
