Copa America : In-form Mexico meet champions Chile, Venezuela to frustrate Argentina

Defending champions Chile suffered an opening group game defeat to Argentina but have clawed their way to the quarter-finals and now tackle in-form Mexico, who are so far unbeaten and boast a four-game advantage in previous fixture head-to-heads. 
Juan Carlos Osorio’s Aztecs enter at 6/4 to triumph, while La Roja are 33/20 to prevail and edge closer to retaining their crown, with a stalemate after 90 minutes being 15/8 to occur.

Javier Hernandez struck in the win over Jamaica and has looked sharp throughout the tournament, with the former Manchester United hitman set to provide a genuine threat to Chile, while Hector Herrera and Oribe Peralta have also been impressive.
For the Chileans, Alexis Sanchez will hope to add to double over Panama, including an absolute thunderbolt strike, while Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal, who also dispatched twice against Bolivia, could help hurt Mexico.

Mexico have scored and conceded in 2/3 at the 2016 Copa America, only shutting out Jamaica.
Across all competitions Chile are now 10 games without a clean sheet. They scored and conceded in all three of the group games that got them to this stage. Although Copa America quarter-finals have erred on the side of boring at recent tournaments, these two have the form and talent to deliver something a bit more spectacular. If the coaches stay true to themselves and the players are not overawed, this will be a match worth staying up for.

In the event of a draw, there's no extra time at the Copa America. It's straight to penalties. For a big underdog like Venezuela, that's just the encouragement they need to play for the draw and give themselves half a chance of an upset in the penalty shootout.

Star man Messi has been unstoppable at times in this campaign and fired in an incredible nine-minute hat-trick against Panama after coming off the bench, while Manchester City frontman Sergio Aguero also got in on the act and could do so again here.
Meanwhile, Venezuela’s attacking danger is likely to be West Bromwich Albion striker Salomon Rondon, who fired in the winner over Uruguay, with fellow forward and Torino marksman Josef Martinez could threaten too after his decisive effort past Jamaica.


The Creoles have conceded just once in three tournament appearances so far and, with Copa America quarter-finals tending to be low scorers (7/10 since 2011), we like the big price on them restricting the tournament favourites - and indeed the match - to Under 2.5 Goals.
