Predictions

Four additional teams have been added to the 12 nations that participated in the 2015 edition of Copa America—won for the first time by hosts Chile after a penalty shootout victory over Argentina.

With the tournament cycle typically spanning every four years, the competition was specifically constructed to celebrate 100 years of action between CONMEBOL and CONCACAF countries.

Separated into four groups, the hosts have not been handed an easy path into the quarter-finals and face stiff competition from Colombia for top spot in Group A. Los Cafeteros arrive with bags of attacking talent, including Real Madrid forward Rodriguez, Juventus’ fleet-footed winger Juan Cuadrado and AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca. Jose Pekerman’s side are expected to go far in the tournament, per the pre-tournament odds from OddsShark.
