Why Bet on the Colombia?
Colombia reaches this Copa América as the third-best team in the CONMEBOL Qualifiers and the most consistent team, in general, in the last couple of years.
The Cafeteros arrive at this start of the Copa América 2024 in an exceptional state of form, as they have won their last five matches, the previous two being against the United States by 5-1 and Bolivia by 3-0.
Even without great names in defense or a world-class center-back (something they used to always have in the past), the national team has found excellent chemistry, to the point that they fight hand in hand with the best teams in the globe and, sometimes, manage to look better.
Luis Diaz is the spearhead of the project and their best player by a mile, coming from an interesting season at Liverpool and being a nightmare at the flank for South American defenses.
Why Bet on Paraguay?
Still in the middle of a reconstruction process that has taken more than a decade, Paraguay reaches the Copa América with the hope of finding some impulse to ignite their level.They are in seventh place in the CONMEBOL Qualifiers but, even though they come as the best-positioned team in the “Bottom Group”, it’s clear the level is no good.
Without great names apart from Miguel Almiron, with the winger always failing to show his best level with the national team, they hope to find some balance in the squad to help them face the best teams. However, with Brazil and Colombia in the same group, it is easier said than done.Even if the Verdeamarela is in one of its worst moments, historically speaking, they still boast a team that, with Vinicius Jr. alone, boasts more value than the entirety of Paraguay’s squad.
Still, fans hope that the combative spirit that took them to a Copa América final and let them have a great World Cup almost 15 years ago is still there.
