In the Group H opener for both nations, Colombia and South Korea meet Monday at Sydney Football Stadium in the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Colombia vs. South Korea odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Colombia, runners-up at the Copa America tournament in 2022, kicks off its 3rd-ever World Cup appearance. The team is led by captain Daniela Montoya, while 18-year-old phenom Linda Caicedo will also figure in prominently.

South Korea will be making its 4th-ever World Cup appearance. It reached the final in the Women’s Asian Cup in 2022, but it is looking to make history in this tournament. It has won just 1 previous match in its previous 10 FIFA Women’s World Cup matches. South Korea has also never had a clean sheet in the World Cup, while failing to score a goal in each of the previous 3 opening matches.

Colombia vs. South Korea picks and predictions

Prediction

Colombia 1, South Korea 1

Moneyline (ML)

This is a very important opening match for both sides, as neither can afford to squander any points in a group which also includes favorite Germany and  Morocco. Look for both Colombia (+188) and South Korea (+155) to play it rather close to the vest, with a DRAW (+195) the most likely outcome.

Over/Under (O/U)

Over 1.5 goals (-190) is not a recommended play, nor is the alternate line of Under 2.5 goals (-225). Both are just too expensive. I am expecting a total of just 2 goals, and neither play is particularly attractive.

Under the Both Teams To Score and Total Goals section, you’ll find the best value. Play YES AND UNDER 4.5 GOALS (+145), as both sides should find the back of the net, but 5 or more combined goals is very unlikely.

USA vs. Colombia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s USA vs. Colombia odds and lines, with USMNT expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The United States Men’s National Team battles the Colombia Men’s National Team Saturday in Los Angeles. Kickoff from Dignity Health Sports Park is set for 7:30 p.m. ET (TNT). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the USA vs. Serbia odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

The USMNT won’t have many familiar faces as this call-up roster seems more primed to showcase the next group of talent for the USA. The USMNT played Wednesday and lost 2-1 to Serbia, striking first on a goal by F Brandon Vazquez, who was making his first cap for USA. They did have 9 more shots yet had 1 fewer strike on goal. USMNT dominated possession with 62%.

Colombia, on the other hand, missed the 2022 World Cup. Their last competition was March 29, a 1-0 win over Venezuela. While this also won’t be Colombia’s A team, they do have talent with Columbus Crew F Cucho Hernandez, who scored 9 goals in 16 matches and completed changed the Crew’s season last year. They will also be the far fresher side as the USMNT played Wednesday.

USA vs. Colombia picks and predictions

Prediction

USA 2, Colombia 2

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+225).

The USMNT showed a better-than-expected ability to get into the Serbian back line and get shots, but they struggled to finish. With so many players new to the roster, that should be expected. However, with 20 shots, they should be able to convert more against Colombia. Also, F Jesus Ferreira, who didn’t play Wednesday, should see time.

Colombia will have talent on their roster with Hernandez and talented LAFC F Chicho Arango. Both sides should be able to push forward, and with Colombia sitting 17th in the world rankings, they should present a challenge for the USMNT.

I expect to see some more of the USMNT more talented players like Ferreira, and at this value, a DRAW (+225) is how I’d play the moneyline.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+115).

The USMNT started D Walker Zimmerman Wednesday, and he is their best defender. They may opt to give D Sam Rogers more time along with potentially seeing M Paxten Aaronson. Players like Aaronson and Ferreira should bring pace while Colombia is going to have its own talented attackers.

Arango had 16 goals in 28 starts last season for LAFC. He can get into the final third with ease, and the combination of Arango and Hernandez could be trouble. Considering the talent that should be on display, back the OVER 2.5 (+115).

Copa America: Colombia vs. Peru odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Friday’s Colombia vs. Peru odds and lines, with Copa America betting picks, tips and predictions.

In Friday’s third-place match of Copa America, Colombia takes on Peru. The match is set for an 8 p.m. ET kickoff at Estadio Nacional in Brasilia, Brazil. Below, we preview the Colombia vs. Peru odds and lines, and make our best Copa America picks and predictions.

Colombia is coming off a disappointing loss to Argentina. It hung with the more talented side through 90 minutes but lost 3-2 in penalty kicks. It has been an impressive run.

As for Peru, it’s coming off a 1-0 loss to Brazil, the favorite to win the tournament. That loss was in a much better performance than it put forth in the 4-goal defeat it suffered against Brazil in the Group Stage.

Prediction

Colombia 2, Peru 1

Money line (ML)

BET on COLOMBIA (-115) because it’s the much better side.

While Peru hung with Brazil, it never felt as though Brazil was going to lose or even concede a goal. The favorite should have won 3-0 but managed to win with just a single tally.

As for Colombia, it played a tight match with Argentina. With Juventus MF Juan Cuadrado and Atalanta F Duván Zapata leading the way, it should out-class Peru.

As long as Colombia plays its top lineup, it should come out on top in 90 minutes.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+100) as the best value in this match.

Peru didn’t get on the board against Brazil, but that was against one of the best sides in the world after a strong run in the tournament.

The Over hit in four of Peru’s six matches thus far; in the two games which cashed the Under, one was against Brazil and the other was a game Peru won 1-0 against Venezuela. Peru beat Colombia 2-1 earlier in this tournament, with an own goal and a penalty boosting the total.

Colombia scored in four of its six games, including against Brazil Wednesday. It has a few talented strikers who should find the back of the net Friday.

Expect at least 3 goals to be scored, just like the last time these two teams met.

Copa America: Argentina vs. Colombia odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Tuesday’s Argentina vs. Colombia odds and lines, with Copa America betting picks, tips and predictions.

In the second of two semifinals matches of Copa America, Lionel Messi and Argentina face Colombia Tuesday with a 9 p.m. ET kickoff at Estádio Nacional in Brasilia, Brazil. Below, we preview the Argentina vs. Colombia odds and lines and make our best Copa America picks and predictions.

One of the favorites coming into the tournament, Argentina just defeated Ecuador 3-0 to claim its semifinals spot. It had 3 wins and a draw in the Group Stage.

No. 8 in FIFA World Rankings, Argentina draws the third-best side left in the tournament in Colombia. It’s 15th in the FIFA rankings.

Colombia had just one win with two losses and a draw in the Group Stage. It then barely survived Uruguay in the quarterfinals, defeating the Luis Suárez-led side 4-2 in penalties. Colombia will need its luck to continue to get through arguably the world’s best player.

Prediction

Argentina 2, Colombia 1

Money line (ML)

BET on ARGENTINA (-120) as the best bet on the money line. Argentina is, by far, the more skilled side.

It’s more than just Messi. Twenty-three-year-old winger Nicolás González could be the future of the country’s program with F Sergio Aguero potentially coming off the bench.

Argentina’s defense is also solid with experienced D Nicolás Otamendi leading the backline.

Now, Colombia has some talent on its side as well, but unless the Atalanta duo up top can sustain some pressure, I’d expect Argentina to win in regulation time.

Colombia hasn’t looked great this tournament and should fold against an experienced and high-quality opponent. Bet the favorite in this one, especially at -120.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 2.5 (+130) as the better value; however, I don’t love the odds, especially with Colombia coming off a quarterfinals match in which no goals were scored.

I’d still put my trust in Messi helping his side get at least 2 goals. Colombia scored in three of its five matches while Argentina had 3 or more goals in two of its five games.

It’s a risk as Colombia’s attack hasn’t looked great for most of the tournament, but if Argentina can get one early and push the pace, everything should go its way.

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.

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

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.
