Discover the Copa America 2024 Betting Semifinals! Colombia, have arrived in the Copa America semifinals for the third time in the last four installments of this tournament.
In 2016, they lost to Chile, and in 2021, they lost to Argentina, so they’re looking to reverse a trend of poor fortune at this stage of the bracket.
Uruguay is in the last four for the first time since 2011, when they stopped Peru and then routed Paraguay to take their 15th Copa America; they are still tied with Argentina for the most Copa America trophies.
Colombia and Uruguay met in the 2021 quarterfinals, ending open play in a scoreless draw before Colombia advanced, 4-2, on penalties.

Uruguay Copa America Moneyline +170
Uruguay rank second in this year’s Copa America with nine goals – all coming during group play.
The defense has been stout, allowing just one goal through group play and the quarterfinals.
The top two scorers are forward Darwin Nunez and defender Maximiliano Araujo (two goals apiece). However, Araujo is out for the rest of the tournament after going down with a leg injury in the quarterfinal win over Brazil.
Nunez has 13 goals in 27 career appearances with the national teams, including five goals in five games so far in 2024.
Five other players have scored for Uruguay in this Copa America, including defender Mathias Olivera, who had the second international goal of his career in the 1-0 win over the United States in group play.
There are some questions for Uruguay on defense. Not only is Araujo out, but Nahitan Nandez was shown a red card in the second half for an ill-advised studs-up tackle.
Even finishing the match with ten men and losing Araujo in the first half didn’t allow Brazil to dent Uruguay’s defense.
If you like Uruguay here, you see their offense continuing to produce, with such replacements as Guillermo Varela (who played for Real Madrid and Manchester United) and Atletico Madrid mainstay Jose Gimenez taking their place on the back line well enough to keep Colombia at bay.
^Colombia Copa America Moneyline +210
Across all competitions, Colombia have posted a 27-match unbeaten streak (21 wins, six draws).
They last lost on February 1, 2022, in a 1-0 decision to Argentina during World Cup qualifying.
The last time Colombia had an unbeaten streak this long was a 27-game stretch between 1992 and 1994 (13 wins, 14 draws) that ended unceremoniously with a loss to the United States in the World Cup.
They ran Panama off the pitch in the Copa America quarterfinals, 5-0, setting a record for their largest margin of victory ever in the Copa America.
No Copa America team has scored more goals in this tournament than Colombia (11), and eight different players have found the back of the net.
Forward Jhon Cordoba, winger Luis Diaz, and defender Daniel Munoz are tied for the lead with two.
Midfielder James Rodriguez has scored three times in five career matches against Uruguay, and he leads all players in this Copa America with five assists.
^Uruguay vs Colombia Final Score and Prediction
Colombia’s offense has shown power through this whole tournament, but so has Uruguay’s.
Which defense will stand firmer? Colombia has the more impressive streak going as a national team, and Uruguay will have two key starters unavailable.
I predict a final score of Colombia 3, Uruguay 2.
