Copa America: Sunday betting previews, tips, team news & TV details

Qatar v Argentina

Premier Sports 1, 8pm Sunday

Argentina dug themselves out of a hole to reach the knockout stages at last year's World Cup and will have to do something similar at the Copa America after taking just one point from their first two Group B fixtures.

The Albiceleste lost 2-0 to Colombia in their opening match and needed a Lionel Messi penalty to pick up a 1-1 draw against Paraguay on Wednesday.

Despite their struggles they are 2-7 favourites to overcome Qatar, who have competed well on their Copa America debut.

The Qataris won the Asian Cup earlier this year and showed a never-say-die spirit in their Group B opener, coming from two goals behind to draw 2-2 with Paraguay.

They competed well in a 1-0 loss to Colombia – conceding the winning goal in the 86th minute – and appear to be growing in confidence.

Argentina should eventually make their extra class count but look unlikely to win by a wide margin.

Recommendation
Argentina and under 3.5 goals

Colombia v Paraguay

Premier Sports 2, 8pm Sunday

Colombia clinched top spot in Group B with a game to spare and that success looks good news for Paraguay - their opponents in Salvador.

Wholesale changes can be expected from the Colombians, who face a quarter-final against the Group C runners-up, almost certainly Chile or Uruguay.

Expectations of a second-string Colombian side influence the betting with Paraguay favourites to get the win they need to seal second place.

Paraguay are in a strong position despite throwing away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Qatar in their opening match.

Eduardo Berizzo's side raised their game to draw 1-1 with Argentina on Wednesday and look well-placed to reach the knockout stages.

They won 2-1 away to Colombia in their penultimate World Cup qualifier and look worthy favourites to overcome the same opposition.

Recommendation
Paraguay
