Football – South America – Copa America Betting Tips

Host nation Chile will be looking to wrap up Group A in the later game tonight when they take on Bolivia at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago.

Chile find themselves top of the group by virtue of a better goal difference over the surprise package of the tournament so far, Bolivia, but it’s nothing short of what the nation expects of the hosts within a group that has been kind to them so far.

A first day 2-0 win over Ecuador was followed by a slightly unexpected 3-3 stalemate with a perceived under-strength Mexico but just a draw here tonight would guarantee the hosts of progressing through to the knock-out phase.

Influential pair Vidal and Alexis Sanchez could both be doubtful in starting though for Chile as potential suspension and injury respectively could rule them both out of this group decider.

Bolivia have certainly exceeded all expectations so far in this Copa America as they sit joint top of Group A with the hosts Chile amongst a group that also consists of Mexico and Ecuador. Despite Mexico’s under-strength squad and the Ecuadorians, Bolivia were widely expected to finish bottom of this group.

However, no-one told the Bolivians of the script as they took a point off Mexico in the first game in a 0-0 draw which was then followed by an excellent 3-2 win over Ecuador which resigned them to the foot of the group without a point to date.

The ball is also in Bolivia’s court as a draw could also see them progress out of the group stages, whilst hoping Mexico slip up somehow against Ecuador (in the earlier match), so Bolivia may well know what they have to do by the time kick-off rolls around.

Chile could be without their two best players while Bolivia have impressed so far – I’m tipping this game could be a lot closer than the market suggests, and so I’ll back a low-scoring game with perhaps a single goal deciding the outcome.
