Why Bet on the Paraguay?
Paraguay has had some terrible years recently, as they have not been able to perform well enough to be top contenders in the World Cup qualifiers or the Copa América. Since reaching the final in 2011, the team has been on a downward curve, failing to be the protagonist each time. In general, they seem more focused on competing to not be the worst, rather than achieving anything important.
In their first match against Colombia, the Albiroja could not display their best level of play, as James Rodriguez gave them a soccer lesson during the 90 minutes. In the 32nd minute, Colombia took the lead with a goal by Daniel Muñoz, while, 10 minutes later, Jefferson Lema scored 2-0 to give peace of mind to the Cafeteros. Finally, Julio Enciso scored Paraguay’s only goal in the 69th minute to put the game to bed.
Paraguay can now take advantage of the fact that Brazil is not looking so strong to try to get at least a point and have hopes of qualifying.
Why Bet on Brazil?
The Canarinha, for its part, had a forgettable start to this Copa América 2024. Many experts pointed out that this is the worst Brazilian team in history, so for the first time, they will have to prove the opposite on the field.
Brazil began their Copa América campaign with an unexpected and boring 0-0 draw against Costa Rica. The Canarinha completely dominated the match, as they had 74% ball possession, with 19 scoring chances and 3 direct shots on goal, while Costa Rica finished with no shots on goal. However, the ineffectiveness of Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Raphina prevented Brazil from taking the three points.
The main issue seems to be the lack of identity. The improvisation by the Brazilian FA in everything related to the DT seems prove to that, with names like Ancelotti and Guardiola emerging as rumors to later appoint random coaches from the Brasileirão.
Referring to the experts again, the main issue seems to be that “Jogo Bonito” is not a football aesthetic that matches today’s approach to the game, more positional and organized. We must point out that many players from the South American giant play in the Premier League and LaLiga, where these soccer ideals are more present.
