Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+110) at even-money is a tremendous value. Both Netherlands and Brazil opened with outstanding offensive efforts; however, they each came against inferior foes.

Summer Olympics Men’s Soccer: Brazil vs. Germany odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Thursday’s Brazil vs. Germany odds and lines, with Summer Olympics Men’s Soccer picks, tips and best bets.

In Summer Olympics Men’s Soccer Group D action Thursday, Brazil and Germany play in a 7:30 a.m. ET kickoff at International Stadium in Yokohama. Below, we preview the Brazil vs. Germany odds and lines, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

We get a gold medal rematch from the 2016 Rio Olympics, and Brazil hopes lightning can strike twice. It pushed past Germany on penalty kicks for the gold in 2016, but Neymar isn’t in Japan, while MF Douglas Luiz and F Richarlison are both present. The 20-year-old sensation F Gabriel Martinelli will need to do some early heavy lifting.

Germany pounded Brazil 7-1 during the 2014 World Cup, but it’s looking for revenge after settling for silver in Rio. MF Nadiem Amiri is a future star who could break out in these Olympics, while F Max Kruse and GK Florian Muller provide a steadying veteran presence.

Prediction

Brazil 1, Germany 0

Money line (ML)

BRAZIL (+100) at even-money is a nice wager in this battle of the titans in Group D. Olympic soccer fires right out of the gate with some attractive matchups. Alves and the rest of Brazil will be able to get it done.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-145) is the best play on the board in this one, and I’d even roll the dice on the alternate line of UNDER 1.5 (+195) for a chance to nearly double up.

Once both sides are at full strength, I wouldn’t roll the dice on that wager. But these teams will be acclimating, getting their sea legs, and I expect sloppy, slow play out of the gate in the first days of the tourney.

Copa America Final: Brazil vs. Argentina odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Copa America Final odds and lines between Brazil and Argentina, with picks, tips and predictions..

The Copa America Final is set, and it will be a showdown between the two best South American teams in Argentina and Brazil. The match will kick off Saturday at 8 p.m. ET and will be played at Estadio do Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Below, we preview the Brazil vs. Argentina odds and lines, and make our best Copa America picks and predictions.

Brazil is coming off what seemed like an easy 1-0 win over Peru. It has outscored the opposition 12-2 in this tournament and remains the favorite to win.

Third overall by FIFA World Rankings, Brazil will be taking on eighth-ranked Argentina in the Copa America Final.

The Lionel Messi-led side defeated Colombia in penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw at the end of 90 minutes. Messi is the captain, but for Argentina to stand a chance, F Sergio Agüero must also get involved.

Argentina is really the only nation in South America that can even come close to Brazil in terms of talent.

Prediction

Brazil 2, Argentina 1

Money line (ML)

BET on BRAZIL (+110) as it has the more talented roster and will be playing at home. As we’ve seen in both Euro 2020 and Copa America, being at home can be a major advantage.

Ds Marquinhos and Thiago Silva should be able to tame one of the world’s best players in Messi. The 34-year-old isn’t as explosive as he once was, although he’ll certainly still have an impact on the game.

With Casemiro and Fred holding down the midfield, there’s just too much talent on this Brazilian team to bet this any other way. From front to back, Brazil is a deep side very few teams can compete with.

Argentina may struggle to even find its footing against the Brazilian dominance. A plus-money bet on Brazil is an easy one to place.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 2.5 (+150) on the alternate line, because Brazil should be coming out on a mission. If the home side pushes the pace and gets a first-half goal, Messi could break through on the offensive end.

Either way, there’s too much star power on both sides to bet against goals.

Messi and Brazil F Neymar on the pitch means opportunities will be created. Brazil’s defense has yet to be challenged, so understanding it has given up only a couple of goals is relevant considering the best team it has played was Colombia.

Argentina has a dynamic attacking roster and should bury at least 1 on a Brazilian defense that has looked flawed at times. With its strength in the attack, Argentina may also struggle to defend the likes of Neymar and F Everton Soares.

Expect and hope for many goals in this one.

Copa America: Colombia vs. Brazil preview, odds and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Colombia vs. Brazil odds and lines, with Copa America betting picks, tips and best bets.

In a battle of two South American powerhouses, Colombia (1 win, 1 loss, 1 draw) takes on Brazil (2-0-0) Wednesday in the Copa America group stage. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET at Estadio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Below, we preview the Colombia vs. Brazil odds and lines, and make our best Copa America picks and predictions.

Brazil, led by Neymar, came into this tournament as the easy favorite. He had 2 of the club’s 7 goals in their first 2 games.

Brazil dominated Peru and Venezuela but has yet to take on a team of Colombia’s caliber.

Colombia comes into the tournament at No. 15 in the FIFA World Rankings. Brazil is No. 3 with France and Belgium No. 2 and No. 1 respectively.

Prediction

Brazil 3, Colombia 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to BRAZIL (-210) as there are zero reasons to think the home side won’t pull this one out.

Although Brazil hasn’t played a team ranked in the top-25 internationally, It has dominated through two games by winning by a combined score of 7-0. On top of that, Colombia hasn’t looked sharp.

Colombia beat Ecuador, one of the worst teams in the tournament, lost to Peru, and tied Venezuala. They’ll more than likely lose to Brazil as well, but the problem is the cost for an outright Brazil win is relatively high.

Brazil should win this game, and it’s worth half a unit despite the return not being great. It’s the right move as Brazil hasn’t lacked any technical skill in the final third through its first couple of games.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET the OVER 2.5 (+110) as the best value in the match.

Brazil has single-handedly topped that in their last two matches. Now the reason this is almost an even-money bet is Brazil has also looked flawless defensively and has yet to give up a goal.

Colombia has scored 2 goals in 3 games. It also gave up 2 goals to Peru, a team Brazil torched for 4 tallies. With MF Juan Cuadrado on the roster, Colombia has some talented players.

If it can get even 1 goal, the Over should hit. I fully expect at least 3 goals to be scored in this game.
