Copa America Group B: Uruguay v Jamaica, Argentina v Paraguay

Group B’s opening two games of the 2015 Copa America kick off on the same evening, as tournament favourites Argentina (7/4) face last year’s runners-up Paraguay (40/1) and title holders Uruguay (14/1) take on invited nation Jamaica (100/1).

Here is Coral’s preview of both fixtures…

Uruguay v Jamaica
The first clash of the evening (8pm UK time) is perhaps one of the most one-sided in the tournament on paper, even with Uruguay star Luis Suarez suspended for the tournament due to his bite on Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.

La Celeste (odds-on 2/7 favourites for victory in this match) will be able to call upon the likes of Edinson Cavani (5/2 to net first), Diego Godin and Cristian Rodriguez (5/1 in the anytime market).

Cavani is the subject of a Coral enhanced matchday special too, with odds of 4/1 for the PSG forward to score two or more. Uruguay are also 9/4 to win the match by three or more goals. Note that both those bets have a maximum stake of £20.

Jamaica (8/1 to win), meanwhile, are without any global stars, particularly in attack, although will be hoping that former Derby County wonderkid Giles Barnes can at least inspire them to a draw (9/2).

Barnes is now 26 and playing for MLS outfit Houston Dynamo, but is prolific in front of net for an attacker. You can back him at a tempting 5/1 to score anytime.
