🩹 Luis Diaz to be fouled 2+ times

📈 Odds: 1.53

Liverpool forward Luis Diaz has been in good form in this tournament, he's notched two goals and has caused his opponents all kinds of problems. In his last game against Panama, he was fouled four times in 65 minutes, before being substituted to get some rest in a game that was already won. He was also fouled twice against Brazil and twice against Costa Rica in the group stage. During his last match against Uruguay, he was also fouled and we expect him to be the subject of more rough treatment from the Uruguayans here.

🩹 James Rodriguez to be fouled 2+ times

📈 Odds: 2.0

Colombia’s standout player this tournament has been James Rodriguez. He has assisted five goals, as well as scoring once himself, and is the key creator in this Colombian team. He was fouled twice against Panama and three times against Brazil, as well as three times against Paraguay in the opening game - he was also fouled twice the last time he played against Uruguay. His exceptional set piece delivery means he may well look for free kick opportunities and if Colombia can take the lead, he will do the same for the purposes of game management. We think he will likely receive similar treatment to his team-mate Diaz.

🛑 Uruguay to commit 16+ fouls

📈 Odds: 1.44

One of the most notable things about this Copa America is the high foul count. Colombia clocked 20 fouls against Panama, while Uruguay made whopping 26 against Brazil and gave away 12 in each of their other three games. Although they only committed 10 in the last game they played against Colombia, they fouled 21 times in the game against Argentina late last year and 19 in a pre-tournament friendly against Mexico. With stakes high and a place in the final as the prize, Uruguay will face another physical battle against this Colombian side and will look to spoil and disrupt their attacking movement at every opportunity.

🟨 Over 4.5 cards

📈 Odds: 1.44

Although Uruguay didn’t pick up a single booking in their first two games, the trajectory has increased from one against the USA to three against Brazil. Colombia have consistently picked up bookings across their four games and collected two against both Brazil and Costa Rica. This line landed in the quarter-final between Uruguay and Brazil and the final group game between Brazil and Colombia, which are more indicative of the kind of game we can expect here. Cesar Ramos is the Mexican referee in charge of officiating the game. He averages 4.23 cards per game across his career and has issued nine yellow cards in his two Copa America games in this tournament.

🎯 James Rodriguez anytime assist

📈 Odds: 4.20

James Rodriguez picked up two assists in the opening game against Panama, an assist against Costa Rica and another two against Panama when they met again in the quarter-final. He’s been a phenomenal creative presence, crafting key chances for team-mates throughout the tournament, while he averages an impressive 0.43 assists per 90 minutes, just under one every two games. We’ve touched on the persistent fouling that should be present in this game, which gives James Rodriguez the perfect opportunity to send in quality crosses from set pieces as well as open play. He could well be the key player to create a moment of brilliance for Colombia’s star strikers to finish the game off.

🚩 Over 8.5 corners

📈 Odds: 1.73

The two sides have averaged 8.2 corners per match between them over the last 10 games, with Uruguay earning 4.5 corners per match and Colombia 3.7. Both sides also concede corners with some regularity, with an average of 3.1 corners conceded per game in that period. There were eight corners in the game between Uruguay and Brazil, and 11 in the game between Brazil and Colombia, two evenly-matched contests which indicate the potential corner count here. In a game that will likely be congested in the middle of the park, both sides will need to stretch the pitch to create opportunities which will see the flanks heavily used - which could lead to plenty of corners.
