Boring Match = Easy Bets: Go for the Under!
It has been eight years since Chile edged Argentina on penalties to claim a second-straight Copa America title – it may as well be 80. Today, Chile finds itself up against it as it looks to avoid its first group-stage elimination since 2004.
La Roja sits third in Group A, level on 1 point with Peru, two points behind Canada and five points behind Argentina. Meanwhile, Canada needs to avoid defeat to book its ticket to the quarterfinals, and I’m expecting them to dig deep and put in a disciplined performance in Florida.
Canada and Chile will face off in the land of Disney World, and it’s going to take nothing more than a magical renaissance for Chile, which has looked incredibly vulnerable at the back this season and lacking in ideas in attack: in their last eight competitive matches, they’ve scored just three goals – two of those coming in a 2-0 win vs. Peru in October – while letting in eight. After kicking off their tournament with a 0-0 draw vs. Peru, they succumbed to a 1-0 loss to Argentina as Lautaro Martinez’s 88th-minute goal saw the defending champions narrowly prevail in New Jersey.
This game has the makings of a low-scoring grudge match, and you only need to take a cursory look at these teams’ recent results to see that neither are particularly used to racking up the goals. While Canada has scored just one goal in their four matches, Chile has looked devoid of inspiration in the final third as well. Each of Chile’s last four competitive matches has featured under 1.5 goals, and I’m betting on that trend to continue in Orlando.
Canada vs Chile Betting Trends
- Each of Canada’s last three matches has featured under 2.5 goals.
- Out of the 16 teams in the tournament, Canada is the only team playing in Copa America for the first time.
- Only Argentina (14) has registered more big chances than Canada (7) so far.
- Chile has failed to score a single goal in the tournament.
- Chile and Canada are both averaging just 2.0 shots on target this tournament.
Best Prop Bet: Canada Books Ticket for Quarterfinals
Canada knows they only need to avoid a defeat in Orlando to book their ticket for the quarterfinals, and I expect them to come out with the same high-pressing, well-organized setup that has seen them shore up the backline in recent matches.
Canada’s ability to congest the midfield and prevent dangerous opportunities will likely serve them well, and in Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David, they have two counter-attacking demons who could feast on a Chile side that will be forced to attack from the onset.
I like Canada’s chances of coming away with a draw or even a victory in Florida – there’s more than enough reason to place a soccer bet on the Canucks at the sportsbook.
