• Australia vs Ecuador Prediction: International Friendly Match 28.03.2023

International Friendly Preview

It has been an extremely worrying period for Chile, as they missed out on World Cup qualification last year. This will signal the start of a new era on Tuesday, as the nation plays their first international fixture since June last year. There will be hopes among fans that they can get back on track over the coming months, as the start of the Copa America is creeping into sight.

Chile comes into this fixture after failing to win each of their previous four internationals. Their two most recent defeats came in the Kirin Cup, with the latter coming against Ghana in the match for third. On home soil, Chile has lost each of their last two matches, with the most recent of those coming against Argentina. Meanwhile, they haven’t won against a fellow South American side since a 1-0 away win against Paraguay in November 2021. 

Paraguay also missed out on qualification for the World Cup last year. Like Chile, they will be looking to build momentum ahead of the South American tournament next year, but there is slightly less faith that this is a nation heading in the right direction. They come into this match after losing three of their last four internationals. 

Their most recent match came back in March 2022, but they were easily beaten by a 2-0 scoreline by Peru. Their only win last year was secured against Ecuador, as they registered a 3-1 home win against their South American rivals. 

Chile vs Paraguay Head to Head

The overall record matches up closely between these two sides, with Chile winning 29 of the previous meetings and Paraguay registering 28 victories. However, each of the previous two have been won by Chile, which includes their 1-0 win in November 2021.

Chile vs Paraguay Prediction

It’s likely that both managers will be trying something different in this fixture in the hope of getting a response from their team. We expect a low-scoring fixture between the sides, but the slight preference is for Chile to pick up the win.
