Stage Set for Historic Copa America Final
Argentina vs Colombia Final Odds: Albiceleste Favored to Repeat
Colombia’s Unbeaten Streak Continues
Colombia head into Sunday’s historic Copa America Final against Argentina on the world’s longest active unbeaten streak. Los Cafeteros haven’t lost any of their last 28 matches since losing 1-0 to Argentina in 2022. Colombia beat Uruguay 1-0 on Wednesday despite being down a man for the entire second half and they can extend their national record streak by defeating Argentina on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Argentina can become the record Copa America winners by claiming their 16th title on Sunday. The defending Copa America, and World Cup, champions took down Canada 2-0 in the Semifinals and have only conceded one goal in five games.
The latest Argentina vs Colombia Final odds price Argentina as favorites but we wouldn’t be shocked to see Colombia pull off the upset.

Location: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, FL, USA
Argentina vs Colombia Head-to-Head
Argentina handed Colombia their last loss, which was in a World Cup Qualifier in February 2022. Lautaro Martinez scored for Argentina in their 1-0 victory. Martinez also scored in their 2021 meeting in the Copa America Semifinals, which Argentina won in penalties following a 1-1 draw.
Colombia are winless in the last four head-to-head matchups but they haven’t lost in 90 minutes in any of their last three meetings against Argentina on the Copa America schedule. All-time, Argentina are 26-8-9 against Colombia.
Argentina Difficult to Score On
Argentina have conceded only one goal en route to a second straight Copa America Final. The defending World Cup and Copa America champions defend their penalty area superbly in Tuesday’s 2-0 Semifinal victory over Canada. Julian Alvarez scored in the first half and Lionel Messi doubled Argentina’s lead six minutes after halftime but Canada could not find a way through.
La Albiceleste were up 1-0 for nearly an hour in the Quarter-Final against Ecuador but conceded a late goal. Goalkeeper Emi Martinez was the hero for Argentina in penalties and Lionel Scaloni’s side also won all three group stage matches.
Argentina have been one of the better soccer bets of Copa America, with a 3-1-1 ATS record. Martinez leads the tournament, with four shutouts, while Lautaro Martinez has scored a Golden Boot-leading four goals. Defenders Lisandro Martinez and Cristian Romero deserve plenty of credit for their efforts as well.
In 2024, Argentina are 8-1-0 but they’ve only won one of their last five appearances in the Copa America Final. If they’re able to grab a win on Sunday, it’d mark a record 16th Copa America title.

Colombia Dig Deep to Reach Final
Colombia have won 12 of their last 13 games heading into the Copa America Final. The pre-tournament outright 2024 Copa America odds priced Colombia at +1300 to win their second title. Their only Copa America win was in 2001 and this is their first appearance in the final since then.
In the Semifinal, Nestor Lorenzo’s side put in a huge effort to defeat Uruguay 1-0 playing a man down for the entire second half. Jefferson Lerma headed in a James Rodriguez corner in the 39th minute but Colombia right back Daniel Muñoz picked up a second yellow card in first half stoppage time.
Colombia keeper Camilo Vargas made some excellent saves and Los Cafeteros defended well to advance to the final. Rodriguez is having an incredible tournament, with a goal and six assists. That’s the most assists by one player in a single edition of Copa America.
Under Lorenzo, Colombia are 19-6-0 and they’re 4-1-0 at Copa America so far. Colombia finished ahead of Brazil in Group D and they’ve scored 12 goals in five games, which is more than any other team. While Muñoz is suspended for this one, Santiago Arias can step in and Colombia have enough quality to compete with Argentina.
