Paraguay vs Brazil Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - June 7, 2021

Paraguay vs Brazil
World Cup Qualifier
Date: Wednesday, 9 June 2021
Kick-off 01:30 UK/ 02:30 CET
Venue: Estadio Defensores del Chaco.

Two unbeaten sides will try and maintain their solid records on Tuesday evening when Paraguay and Brazil are about to square off in the sixth round of the South American World Cup Qualification campaign at Estadio Defensores del Chaco.

Paraguay somehow held the likes of Uruguay to a goalless stalemate on Thursday evening. The team led by Eduardo Berizzo thus managed to maintain the unbeaten record in the Qatar 2022 qualifiers.

Paraguay are one of just three unbeaten teams after the opening five games in the competition. However, four of their five matches have ended in draws, including a couple of 2-2 scorelines in the home fixtures against the likes of Peru and Bolivia.

These two results will certainly put Paraguay’s ambitions of making it to the biggest stage for the first time since 2010 in jeopardize.

The hosts need to get a break and claim spoils in the clash against the likes of Brazil.

Nonetheless, it will be much easier said than done because Brazil have been by far the most successful team on the continent since Tite took charge at the helm.

The Brazilians go into this with a perfect record of five wins in five qualifying games. They extended the run on Friday evening, beating Ecuador 2-0 at home via second-half goals from Richarlison and Neymar.

Brazil boast the competition’s top attacking and defensive records with a goal difference of 14-2 after the opening five outings.

Paraguay vs Brazil Head-to-head

• Brazil have been more successful historically, but they did struggle to perform on the Paraguayan soil in the last several years.
• Paraguay are unbeaten in the last four home clashes against Brazil.
• Paraguay won two and drew two in the process, achieving an impressive 6-3 goal difference along the way.
• The two sides played a goalless draw when they last met each other (in the Copa America quarterfinal two years ago – Brazil advanced on penalties).

Paraguay vs Brazil Prediction

Paraguay produced a fine defensive display in a goalless draw against Uruguay on Thursday. Since Brazil struggled to break the deadlock in a bad-tempered clash against Ecuador on Friday and since they are winless in the last four away games on the Paraguayan soil, we can find the value in backing the hosts not to lose at the 2.37 odds.

If you are looking for a somewhat safer betting option, the Under 2.5 goals FT is paid at the 1.75 odds.
