Ecuador vs. Venezuela Copa América Odds
Team | Moneyline | Draw | Total | Spread |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ecuador | +110 | +220 | Over 2 Goals (-109) | -0.5 (-111) |
Venezuela | +317 | +220 | Under 2 Goals (-101) | +0.5 (-120) |
Odds as of June 22
Michel Anderson's Pick: Ecuador Moneyline (+110)
Venezuela is winless in their last 5 games and only scored twice in those five games. Meanwhile, Ecuador is 6-1-3 over their last 10 games. That includes impressing wins over Uruguay and Chile. Ecuador also has a ton of top-notch players like Enner Valencia and Moises Caicedo. They also got a budding star in 17-year-old Kendry Paez. I know that these two played out to a 0-0 draw the last time they met, but Ecuador’s star power will shine under the bright lights of the 49ers Levi’s Stadium for the win.
Nick Holz's Pick: Ecuador Moneyline (+110)
I have to side with Michel here. Venezuela enter this tournament as a plucky underdog. However, this is Ecuador's most talented squad in decades. Their attacking stars as well as Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie put La Tri over the top for me.
Mexico vs. Jamaica Copa América Odds
Team | Moneyline | Draw | Total | Spread |
---|---|---|---|---|
Mexico | -201 | +343 | Over 2.5 Goals (-115) | -1 (-120) |
Jamaica | +622 | +343 | Under 2.5 Goals (+104) | +1 (+111) |
Odds as of June 22
Michel Anderson's Pick: Mexico OVER 1.5 Goals (-152)
Mexico won the last encounter 2-0. El Tri also hold a commanding 22-5-5 record against Jamaica. And it’s not like Jamaica can offer much resistance. Shamar Nicholson is their only goal threat and Mexico locked him out in their last encounter giving him only 17 touches. Mexico should repeat winning 2-0 or better against Jamaica to open their tournament.
Nick Holz's Pick: Jamaica +1 (+111)
This isn't the Mexico team of years' past. El Tri have been smacked around by the USA, Uruguay, and Brazil this year. They also barely escaped an overmatched Bolivia with a 1-0 win in May.
Heimir Hallgrimsson's Reggae Boyz are no push over. Premier League fans will recognise the likes of West Ham's Michail Antonio and former Everton man Demarai Gray up front. Antonio will cause the Mexican backline real problems with his size and strength. Further back Fulham's Bobby Decordova-Reid and Luton Town's Amari'i Bell give Jamaica real quality. Don't underestimate the pace and power of this talented Jamaica squad.
