Why bet on Paraguay
Paraguay is going with a marked irregularity that today places them in the 6th position of the tournament.
Their coach Eduardo Berizzo has been improving his team’s game, focusing on tight marking and managing to increase the chances of risk, thanks to free kicks. However, the Guaraníes have had little success in the knockout rounds, drawing three of their last five games and losing two of their last two. That is why they need to show their strength to reduce the two points that separate them from the direct qualification to the World Cup and they have the chance against a direct rival.
The Paraguayan national team will not be able to count on striker Gabriel Ávalos due to injury and will have Omar Alderete at its disposal again, after serving his suspension.
Why bet on Colombia
Meanwhile, Colombia has been improving its game and is in the 5th position of the tournament, just two points away from the direct qualification to the World Cup despite not getting the expected results.
The team coached by Reinaldo Rueda managed to win only one of the last five matches in these South American qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar, with two defeats and two draws. Precisely, in their last match they drew 1-1 against Bolivia away, but with the powerful Roger Martinez scoring in the match.
Los Cafeteros‘ visit to Paraguay promises to be an exciting challenge.
Final betting analysis between Paraguay and Colombia
Both Paraguay and Colombia come to this match in need of a victory. Both have the material to qualify for the World Cup. However, they had an irregular tournament and need to improve their performance.
Considering the current form of both teams, as the bookmakers do, it is very difficult to say who will come out on top in this match. We are confident that both teams will go out to give their best, as they are in need of victories, although we believe that equality of forces will prevail. Thus, our football bet for this match is that they draw and both score goals.
