According to the best football odds for the Copa America, Argentina are the favorites at 2.25 (5/4). A draw is offered at 3.0 (2/1), while Colombia are the big underdogs at 4.0 (3/1) to upset La Albiceleste and win the 2024 Copa title.
They have faced each other nine times in the last decades, and La Albiceleste have had a big advantage over Los Cafeteros in that period, as in the last nine head-to-head games, Argentina won five, drew three, and Colombia won once. This is a rematch of the 2021 Copa semi-final, in which Argentina won on penalties.
The best bookies for Copa America 2024 had Argentina as the favorites to win the title since day one, and that hasn’t changed going into the final. They have been a full powerhouse in this tournament, winning all of their matches so far. La Albiceleste topped their group with nine points, and then they beat Ecuador and Canada to reach the Copa 24 final. They have by far the best defense in the tournament, conceding only one goal in five matches.
Lautaro Martinez is the Copa America’s top scorer with four goals so far, while Julian Alvarez has scored two goals. Leo Messi has one goal and one assist in this tournament, but he is playing very well, especially by creating a lot of scoring chances for his teammates.
Colombia are coming off a very important 1-0 win over Uruguay in a game that has seen it all, from a red card to the players arguing with the fans. Los Cafeteros have the best offense in the tournament with 12 goals in five matches, and they have conceded only twice, so they have been solid on both sides of the pitch. Colombia have been a very underrated team in the last couple of years, as they are currently on a 28-game unbeaten streak.
James Rodriguez has been the star of the Colombian team, having created six assists in the Copa 2024 event, which is now the record for the most assists in a single Copa tournament in history. Jhon Cordoba and Daniel Munoz have scored two goals and one assist each so far, but the latter is suspended for the final after picking up a red card in the last game.

Argentina have been unstoppable since their 2021 Copa America win. They have lost only twice in their last 64 matches, which is an astonishing number considering that they have won a Copa and a World Cup title in that period. This might very well be the last Copa edition for Leo Messi, and they will try their best to give him another title, and they are trying to take the sole lead on top of the most Copa America titles won.
The US soccer bookmakers have some enticing odds on Argentina winning the title. Colombia have been very good as well, which means the odds aren’t as low as usual with La Albiceleste, but we think that Argentina are very consistent right now and will have the edge.

Both teams in this matchup have a great offense, which is very capable of scoring in the final. Argentina have scored at least one goal in 34 of their last 35 matches, so it will be very surprising if they don’t score in this game, while Colombia have scored in 13 consecutive games and have the best offense in the tournament.

It’s surprising that Leo Messi hasn’t made any goal contributions in three Copa finals, but he will be looking to change that on Sunday. Messi had four shots and two key passes in the semi-finals over Canada, while he had five key passes over Chile and six key passes over Canada in the Copa opener, so he has been consistently creating chances. Leo is also on penalty duties for La Albiceleste, so his scoring chances are as high as well.
It’s hard to go against La Albiceleste in the 2024 Copa final, especially with their experience in the big and final matches. Make sure you use our 2024 Argentina vs Colombia betting predictions and bet them at the legal bookies in America to have more fun watching the game.
