Uruguay vs Paraguay Preview

Uruguay

Uruguay secured third place in the Copa América. The Uruguayans beat Brazil in the quarter-finals, before falling to Colombia in the semi-finals. Despite the disappointment, their overall form remains impressive.

Things are also going well in the World Cup qualifiers, where they sit comfortably in second place with 13 points. At the same time, Bielsa’s men stand out with a strong goal difference of 13:5. La Celeste have already claimed key wins against Brazil, Chile, and Bolivia, showcasing excellent football in the process.

Uruguay’s strength lies in their defensive organization and overall balance. With Bielsa at the helm, one of the most respected managers in the world, Uruguay are a team to watch as they continue their strong run in the qualifiers.

Paraguay

Paraguay’s level of play has declined lately. At Copa América 2024, the Guaraníes lost all of their matches. Although defeats against Brazil and Colombia were expected, the 1-2 loss against Costa Rica came as a surprise.

Paraguay is seventh in the World Cup qualifiers with five points. Their attacking struggles are evident, as they have managed to score only one goal in six qualifying matches. The team lacks creativity in the offence, but their solid defensive organization has allowed them to earn points.

Paraguay conceded only three goals in six matches, which places them second among all teams, behind only Argentina.

Uruguay vs Paraguay Prediction

• Pick: Uruguay to Win
• Odds: 1.49 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Uruguay 2-0 Paraguay

Uruguay are definitely the favourites in this clash. The Sky Blue have won all their home matches in the World Cup qualifiers while Paraguay have not won a single away match – two defeats and one draw- and failed to score a single goal.

Most likely, we will see a match where Uruguay will hold the initiative throughout the game. Meanwhile, Paraguay will sit back in defence and try to build their flow on counterattacks. 

However, despite Paraguay’s defensive focus, Marcelo Bielsa’s men are expected to eventually break through and emerge victorious. Our recommendation is to place a bet on Uruguay to win.

Uruguay vs Paraguay Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score – No
• Odds: 1.64 (22Bet)

Uruguay have conceded only one goal from Chile in three games at home, and won the other two matches without conceding any goals at all. Paraguay, on the other hand, have not scored in an away match in this qualifying round.

Despite Ronald Araújo’s absence, Marcelo Bielsa has organized a highly effective midfield and defence that gives Uruguay’s opponents few opportunities.  

Paraguay are a pragmatic team that concede very little. However, they are also limited in attack, making it difficult for them to score against Uruguay. Therefore, our suggested pick is: both teams not to score in this encounter.
