Wednesday’s Best 2024 Paris Olympics Soccer Bets: Columbia vs. Canada
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Columbia vs. Canada
The afternoon concludes with a high-stakes contest in Group A, where Columbia (1-0-1, +1 GD) takes on Canada (2-0-0, +2 GD). Despite the perfect record, Canada is in third place due to a six-point penalty for a cheating scandal. This ESPN article dives into all of the specifics. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET from Allianz Riviera in Nice, France.
Even with the six-point penalty, Canada can still qualify for the Knockout Stage. They simply need to win this match, and they'll advance. Momentum is on the Canadians’ side, and they also have an extra boost of motivation as they battle through the off-the-field allegations. The Canucks have won their last four games across all competitions, and they're an unbeaten 12-4-0 in their last 16 matches.
Meanwhile, Columbia isn't typically a huge threat on the world stage. Against teams that are 10th or better in the FIFA rankings, they're just 0-2-5 in their last seven matches across all competitions. I'm riding with Canada to secure the win and overcome the off-the-field adversity.
Bet: Canada Moneyline (-105)
