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.
