Copa America 2024 Betting Favourites

Argentina – Copa America Favourite

Argentina are favourites to retain their 2021 Copa America success at odds of 7/4. Those odds suggest Argentina have a 36.4% chance of winning their sixteenth-ever title this summer.

Argentina head into the tournament in great form, they ended 2023 with a 0-1 win in qualifying over bitter rivals Brazil. That win was followed by a 3-0 win over El Salvador and 3-1 over Costa Rica during the March friendlies. Ahead of the 2024 Copa America, they will play Ecuador and Guatemala. Their Copa America group is as follows

Copa America Group A Odds

Argentina – 1/4

Peru – 10/1

Chile – 6/1

Canada – 12/1

Argentina’s Copa America Squad

The 2022 World Cup champions are always going to be contenders with a certain Lionel Messi (36) in their ranks for what could be the last time. But they’ve plenty of other talent too from Rodrigo De Paul and Mac Allister in midfield to Garnacho, Martinez and Alvarez in attack.

Brazil – Copa America 2nd Favourites

Brazil are currently priced at 11/5 to go one better at the 2024 Copa America at odds of 11/5. Those odds suggest the Brazilians have a 31.3% chance of winning their tenth-ever Copa America this summer.

Brazil may have ended their 2023 with 3 defeats on the bounce including a loss to Argentina but their 2024 prospects look a little brighter. During the March friendlies, they had a 0-1 win over England and drew 3-3 against Spain. Ahead of the tournament, they will play Mexico and the USA. Their Copa America group is as follows

Copa America Group D Odds

Brazil – 2/5

Colombia – 11/4

Paraguay – 12/1

Costa Rica – 18/1

Brazil’s Copa America Squad

Brazil are sure to have a star-studded squad at the 2024 Copa America with Neymar, Vinicius and Raphinna in attack amongst a glutton of talented footballers across the squad. That being said, this is a far cry from a vintage Brazil side with a lot of their “better players” past their prime.

Uruguay

The third favourite for the 2024 Copa America are Uruguay at odds of 5/1. Those odds suggest they have a 16.7% chance of putting their 2021 Quarter Final elimination behind them to win their sixteenth Copa America trophy.

Uruguay had a positive end to their 2023 with three successive victories coming 2-0 against Brazil, 0-2 against Argentina and 3-0 against Bolivia. However, their 2024 form has been ropey during 1-1 with Basque Country and losing to Ivory Coast. They play Costa Rica and Mexico before the tournament begins. Their Copa America group is as follows

Copa America Group C Odds

United States – 11/8

Uruguay – 8/11

Panama – 16/1

Bolivia – 16/1

Uruguay’s Copa America Squad

While not on the level of Argentina or Brazil, Uruguay will be a strong squad for the 2024 Copa America. Particularly the make-up of their midfield looks very strong with the likes of Ugarte, Valverde and Bentancur.

Colombia

Colombia are joint fourth favourites for Copa America at odds of 11/1. Those odds suggest that the country has an 8.3% chance of winning their second Copa America title after winning in 2000.

Colombia are the form side heading into the tournament, winning their last 6 games including Brazil 2-1 at the end of 2023 and two brilliant victories during the March friendlies 0-1 against Spain and 3-2 against Romania. Ahead of the 2024 Copa America, they will play the USA and Bolivia. Their Copa America group is as follows

Copa America Group D Odds

Brazil – 2/5

Colombia – 11/4

Paraguay – 12/1

Costa Rica – 18/1

Colombia’s Copa America Squad

Colombia are in brilliant form and while some sides in this competition are arguably overshadowed by members of their squad. This Colombian side is more about the sum of their parts than any major stand-out players. However, a certain James Rodriguez is still about at 32 and will complement the likes of Liverpool attacker Luis Diaz well.

Mexico

Mexico are the other joint fourth favourites for Copa America at odds of 11/1. Those odds suggest that the country has an 8.3% chance of winning the first-ever Copa America title after being runners-up in 1993 and 2001.

Mexico have been a mixed bag recently. In 2023 they had a victory against Ghana and a draw against Germany but also lost to Qatar. In 2024 that has continued with a 0-3 win against Panama but a 2-0 loss against the USA. Before the tournament, they’re set to play Bolivia, Uruguay and Brazil. Their Copa America group is as follows

Copa America Group B Odds

Mexico – 11/10

Ecuador – 8/5

Venezuela – 11/2

Jamaica – 9/1

Mexico’s Copa America Odds

While Mexico have been a mixed bag of success in recent months, they’ve been drawn in the perceived weaker half of the draw aside from tournament favourites Argentina to reach the final. Mexico has a lot of domestic-based talent with a few players from across the European leagues Alvarez of West Ham and Gimenez of Feyenoord in particular will be crucial at the tournament.
