Copa America Betting Analysis from PinnacleSports.com
60% Better Copa America Betting Odds - Starts June 26
Venezuela is normally known for its oil and the odd military coup, but as the host of 2007 Copa America the South American country will be graced from June 26th by the continent’s best soccer talent. 180 countries will be broadcasting games from the 12 team event including Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. Leading online sportsbook PinnacleSports.com will also be covering the event, and has already posted prices for the opening clashes, offering up to 60% better Copa America odds than traditional bookmakers.
Mexico Present Credible Alternative to Big Two
Since 1993 the Copa America has expanded by inviting two teams from outside South America, which share common cultural bonds. This has allowed Mexico, a Central American nation, to compete, adding an important competitive element, given the strength of El Tri. In six Copa America’s the Mexicans have twice finished runners-up, twice finished third and twice been eliminated as quarter-finalists. The Mexican side and their fans will not be inconvenienced by the short journey to Venezuela, giving further grounds for expecting a prominent showing.
Hugo Sanchez’ side will need to be ready from the start as they face holders Brazil in their opening group game on June 27th priced 1.806 (+1) with PinnacleSports.com. Sanchez assumed control after Argentine, Ricardo Lavolpe, stood down following the quarter-final exit from the 2006 World Cup. The Mexicans were not disgraced losing a titanic tussle with Argentina in extra time, but Lavolpe had experienced a difficult relationship with the Mexican press. Sanchez has enjoyed success in the Mexican league twice winning the Championships. He inherits a strong squad led by Barcelona’s Rafael Marquez, their inspirational captain.
Uruguay’s Record in Copa America Superior to Brazil
Uruguay boast the most Copa America wins along with their neighbours and great rivals, Argentina. With 14 victories, they have won the competition twice as many times as Brazil, and though their most recent success was back in 1995, they were runners up in 1999, fourth in 2001 and third in 2004. It was a major disappointment that the Uruguayans missed out on a place in the 2006 World Cup after losing a play-off against Australia on penalties.
Oscar Tabarez was appointed coach in 2006 with the long-term aim of reaching the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. His squad consists of players based in Uruguay and throughout Europe. The forward pairing of Diego Forlan (Villarreal) and Alvaro Recoba (Inter Milan) will prove a handful for any defence, while the side as a whole are renowned for their toughness. Having avoided Mexico, Argentina and Brazil, Uruguay couldn’t have received a greater draw in Group A. They will face the hosts who they lost 1-0 to last September along with Bolivia and Peru, in their opening game priced 1.952 (-0.5) with PinnacleSports.com.
