Copa America Bets of the Day: Venezuela to frustrate Argentina, Mexico and Chile to entertain

Argentina might be surprised by Venezuela's defensive resistance tonight

"Venezuela have conceded just once in three tournament appearances so far"

Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.285/4 in Argentina v Venezuela

Against the odds, Tobias Gourlay reckons Mexico and Chile might be the better advert for the Copa America tonight...

Peru 0 Colombia 0 in the second Copa America quarter-final last night.

Tonight brings two shots at redemption: the third and fourth quarter-finals...


Argentina v Venezuela
Sunday 00:00 BST
Live on Premier Sports

In the event of a draw, there's no extra time at the Copa America. It's straight to penalties. For a big underdog like Venezuela, that's just the encouragement they need to play for the draw and give themselves half a chance of an upset in the penalty shootout.

The Creoles have conceded just once in three tournament appearances so far and, with Copa America quarter-finals tending to be low scorers (7/10 since 2011), we like the big price on them restricting the tournament favourites - and indeed the match - to Under 2.5 Goals.


Mexico v Chile
Sunday 03:00 BST
Live on Premier Sports

Mexico have scored and conceded in 2/3 at the 2016 Copa America, only shutting out Jamaica.

Across all competitions Chile are now 10 games without a clean sheet. They scored and conceded in all three of the group games that got them to this stage. Although Copa America quarter-finals have erred on the side of boring at recent tournaments, these two have the form and talent to deliver something a bit more spectacular. If the coaches stay true to themselves and the players are not overawed, this will be a match worth staying up for.
