PREVIEW
Argentina’s quarter-final clash with Uruguay looks to be the most intriguing of the four weekend fixtures with both sides packed full of attacking class. Sergio Batista’s side have so far yet to live up to the billing of the tournament favourites, but their recent performances suggests things are improving.

La Albiceleste began Copa America well off the pace with two disappointing stalemates, but a convincing 3-0 victory over Costa Rica saw that the hosts qualified in second place. Leo Messi and Kun Aguero were in terrific form last time out, with Aguero grabbing a brace. His two goals in the last game took the striker’s tally to three in the competition.

Uruguay will not be intimidated by Argentina’s attacking options as they possess three of the most prolific forwards around the world. Diego Forlan, Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani are all top class players and will be a constant threat to the opposing defenders. Interestingly, La Celeste’s top scorer is Alvaro Pereira from midfield.

The hosts have got the better of their opponents in the last two meetings, while the side have not lost in the previous seven matches against Uruguay on home soil. In fact, La Albiceleste have won six of those seven matches which explains why they are trading at around 1.65 on the ‘Daq’.

Even though Sergio Batista’s outfit have not hit top gear yet, I expect them to edge past Uruguay tonight and extend their excellent head-to-head record against the Uruguayans.

RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
Back Argentina at 1.65: 6 points
