Copa America Betting Tips
I was very disappointed with the performance of the Italian under 21 side
yesterday.
Full credit to Serbia for solid defending but Italy definitely under
performed which seems to be the case in first games in major tournaments.
At least the under 2.5 bet came in and with only 2 goals in 4 games so far
it could be a bet worth sticking with until at least the last set of group
games when the teams will have to come out to get a result.
Today i have turned my attention to the forthcoming Copa America which is
due to take place in Venezuela.
Obviously Brazil and Argentina are rightly favourites to win the
competition but at best price Argentina 15/8 and Brazil 2/1 both with
Betfred they offer little in the way of value.
In my constant search for a "value" bet i am going to have an investment
on Uruguay who are best price 14/1 with Boyle Sport at present in the
first 2 market.
Though they failed to qualify for the last World Cup going out to
Australia on Penalties after 2 legs they still have a squad which is
competitive enough to challenge.
In Diego Forlan they have a proven goalscorer in La Liga and who if
rumours are correct is currently a target for Liverpool,they also have
Alvaro Recoba of Inter who in my opinion has never fulfilled his undoubted
potential.
Their defence has the very reliable Carini of Inter in goal and at centre
half Diego Lugano of Fenerbache is an uncompromising defender, so as you
can see the spine of the team is strong.
Uruguay`s cause has also been helped by the fact that they are in the same
group as hosts Venezuela,Peru and Bolivia so have avoided some of the more
dangerous teams in the federation.
If Uruguay win their group which is quite possible their quarter final
opposition will come from one of the 2 best third placed sides in the
other 2 groups, which means that they would probably avoid Brazil or
Argentina till the Semi`s and at the knock out stage as we all know
anything can happen.
I am not saying Uruguay can win the competition but at 14/1 first 2
betting they in my opinion offer better value then the big 2,and with a
kind draw and a bit of luck who knows what may happen!
as always good luck and happy punting.
