Form, Mentality, Odds and Trends
- Brazil average 2.38 goals per game during home fixtures
- Brazil have scored +1 goal in 13 consecutive matches

- Peru allow 1.71 goals during their most recent away fixtures
- Peru are undefeated in 13 of their last 16 Copa America fixtures
Payback Time for Brazil
Two years to the day, Brazil will face Peru in a Copa America finals fixture where the Blanquirroja were left distraught in defeat as the Peruvians claimed the continental title. Although Peru are one step away from tasting the final matchup again, this semi-final clash will prove difficult with Tite’s strong Brazilian outfit in their way
During the group stage, these two teams already met, where Brazil embarrassed Peru with a 4-0 beating. With that said, Brazil hasn’t quite found the same attacking success since this night.
Another downside to Peru’s semi-final outing will be the loss of crucial attacker Andre Carrillo, as Brazil boasts the best defense in the competition – with a special thanks to Fred and Casemiro, who’ve been on top form.
Final Thoughts| Betting Tips
Can we give Peru much chance without their star winger Carrillo, especially when Brazil has been solid at the back and equally dangerous upfront? PSG superstar Neymar will provide a dangerous threat as ever, and this fixture just doesn’t bode well for a damaged and worn-out Peruvian squad, according to top sportsbooks.

Argentina vs. Colombia
Tuesday, July 06, 2021 - 09:00 PM EDT at Estádio Mané Garrincha
A South American Rivalry Set for the Finals
Much like their rivals Brazil, Argentina has been defensively sound during the Copa American tournament. Having conceded just two goals, the Argentine’s clean-swept their group stage fixtures bar one drawn fixture versus Chile. Following that draw, they beat Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia whilst maintaining two clean sheets.
Lionel Scaloni’s men have lost just one of their previous twenty-two fixtures, seeing their last loss date back to 2019.
More importantly for Argentina, their key man Lionel Messi has been on top form. The Argentinian captain has scored four goals and assisted an additional four goals thus far. The same praise cannot be given to Colombia, as they’ve only managed to win one fixture during normal time throughout the entire competition.
Final Thoughts| Betting Tips
There aren’t many positives for this Colombian side, but their resiliency is something that could trouble Argentina. A viable blueprint for Colombia would be drawing this fixture out until extra time. Still, with their significant amount of extra time already played, tired legs will become an issue.
Lionel Messi is still itching for his first trophy playing alongside his countrymen, and this year could be his last opportunity. With such star power as Messi, final third confidence in the competition so far, it’s difficult to predict anything besides a win for Argentina this midweek.
Argentina vs. Colombia Score Prediction: Argentina 2 – Colombia 1
Argentina vs. Colombia Betting Prediction: Argentina to win -125 (1.80) at Pinnacle.
