Friday’s WC action brings us Paraguay vs Australia.
Full predictions, pre-match stats and user poll for Paraguay v Australia are shown on this page - as well as the best betting odds.
Paraguay fans will want a repeat of their previous result, being a 0-1 WC triumph versus Turkey.
In that game, Paraguay had 21% possession and 7 shots at goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Paraguay was Matías Galarza (2'). Turkey had 32 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target.
Paraguay have been on a persistent run of goalscoring form, hitting the target in one hundred percent of their last 6 games.
They have claimed a sum of 10 during that time while seeing the number of goals scored against them stand at 7. That kind of trend might not be continued here, however.
Since being beaten in their last game against United States in WC competition, Australia and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that game, Australia managed 38% possession and 5 shots on goal with 2 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Australia was Cameron Burgess (11' Own goal). On the other side, United States had 10 shots on goal with 2 of them on target. Alex Freeman (43') was the scorer for United States.
In 5 of the prior 6 games involving Australia, a relatively low number of goals have been struck between them and their opponents. The overall average number of goals per game in that spell is just 2.33, with the average goals for The Socceroos being 1.5.
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Australia should get enough chances to find the net against this Paraguay side, although it isn’t expected to be as many as they’ll concede.
We’re going for a narrow 2-1 winning score for Paraguay by the conclusion of the game. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
Turning to the betting odds in the 90 minute result market, staking on Paraguay can be had for 2.88, a wager on a draw is 2.25 & staking on victory for Australia is 3.8. These are the most competitive returns being offered as of now.
