Best Betting Picks for Colombia vs Uruguay
Straight Up Winner: Bet on Uruguay
Uruguay and Colombia have collided 12 times at Copa America, with Uruguay leading the way 6-3-3. Colombia won two of those draws via penalties, and if Wednesday’s match finishes with a draw, there’s no overtime, we’ll have another penalty shootout.
The last time these two met at the continental tournament was in the Quarterfinals of the 2021 edition. The match finished with a goalless draw and Colombia won 4-2 in penalties. However, Uruguay won four of the last seven meetings at Copa America.
Their last overall meeting was on the road to the 2026 World Cup and Uruguay managed to win a point in Bogota. Wednesday’s match will be on neutral ground and in the end, you won’t find a more tempting soccer betting underdog than Los Charruas.
Game Total: Bet the Under
These two have us used to close games, especially in Copa America. Six of the last seven meetings between the two at the continental tournament finished with a draw or a one-goal difference.
In close games, the total usually goes under or pushes. Well, the total has gone under two goals in six of the last seven encounters between Colombia and Uruguay. And the only time that didn’t go under, it was exactly two goals.
Handicap: Bet Uruguay PK
Checking the latest soccer lines, the handicap is PK with Colombia at -118 and Uruguay at -102. That basically means there’s no true favorite or underdog, but in the end, Uruguay represents a lower risk.
In this case, this is extremely similar to a moneyline bet, because all you need to collect is a victory from the team you chose.
Player Prop: Bet on Maximiliano Araujo to Score
One of the main reasons for Uruguay to be a great underdog bet is that Darwin Nunez and Maximiliano Araujo will be leading the attacking unit. Each has scored two goals, but when it comes to Wednesday’s clash, Araujo is offering a much bigger reward as anytime goalscorer. While Nunez is +200, Araujo is +500.
Maximiliano Araújo is a signing I could definitely get behind. He’s been great at Copa America – (scoring this against Panama) – and Marcelo Bielsa loves him. A key part to Uruguay’s attack. #NFFCpic.twitter.com/kakArO5dtZ

Overall, and regardless of the result, Uruguay managed to score in seven of the previous 12 meetings with Colombia at Copa America. This time, Araujo is a great option to include in your soccer parlay bet because he’s highly motivated, aiming for a new deal with a European powerhouse, and he has already scored a beauty against Panama.
