Copa America Bet of the Day: Colombia and Peru to serve up goals

It's out of character, but Peru's national team have recently been doing their country proud

"Since beating Peru 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier on home soil in October last year, the Coffee Growers have conceded in 7/8 matches"

Back Both Teams to Score @ 2.3611/8 in Peru v Colombia

The Incas are in a mini golden age and Tobias Gourlay expects them to cause trouble for the Coffee Growers in New Jersey tonight

Peru v Colombia

Live on Premier Sports

USA 2 Ecuador 1 in Seattle overnight. Both sides ended with 10 men, but with too many goals between them for our purposes.

A similar scoreline would not be so unwelcome tonight in New Jersey, where Peru take on Colombia in the second Copa America quarter-final.

Peru, you might've heard, knocked the mighty Brazil out at the group stages, and go into this game in their best form for a while. They're W4-D1-L0 on their mini unbeaten run, having hit the back of the net in all five of those games.

Despite this uptick in their results, the Incas are big outsiders against Colombia. Since beating Peru 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier on home soil in October last year, the Coffee Growers have conceded in 7/8 matches including friendlies. We fancy them to leak again against underdogs whose tails are wagging right now.
