Canada vs. Venezuela prediction, odds, time: 2024 Copa America quarterfinal picks from proven soccer expert

One team will advance to the 2024 Copa America semifinal to face Argentina, and one team will go home when Canada and Venezuela collide in a quarterfinal match on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Canadians are in unfamiliar territory. This is the first time they have reached the quarterfinals of a major tournament. Meanwhile, with a win over Canada, Venezuela will at least match the best result in a major tournament in team history: a fourth-place finish at Copa America in 2011. The winner of Friday’s game will face Lionel Messi and Argentina, who beat Ecuador in a penalty shootout on Thursday night.

Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. ET. Both teams are listed at +180 on the 90-minute money line (risk $100 to win $180), while a 90-minute draw is +190. The over/under for total goals is 2.5, with the Under favored at -180. Both sides are -114 to advance.

Why you should back Venezuela

La Vinotinto enter the quarterfinal matchup on a roll. They won all three of their group stage matches (over Ecuador, Mexico and Jamaica), outscoring their opponents 6-1. This is the first time in team history that Venezuela have won all three of their group stage matches.

In addition, La Vinotinto will face a Canada team that has struggled to score under new manager Jesse Marsch. Since Marsch took over on May 13, the Canadians have scored only one goal across five matches. They have conceded six goals over that same stretch. See which team to pick here.

Why you should back Canada

Alphonso Davies has been very active offensively at left back for the Canadians. The 23-year-old Davies, who plays for Bayern Munich, is second on the team in touches (202), with more than half of those touches (106) in the attacking half of the field. He also is second on the team with four shots and two chances created and leads the team with 23 recoveries.

Though the team has only one goal and just 24 shots so far in the tournament, Canada has been getting quality shots. Their average shot distance is 16 yards, which is the shortest in the tournament. They also average 0.17 expected goals per shot, which is the best in the tournament field. See which team to pick here.
