Brazil – Paraguay, Copa America Prediction
ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION FOR BRAZIL - PARAGUAY
The Brazilians have quickly proved that this draw with Venezuela was rather chance and bad luck, but they have 3 goals canceled by VAR as Peru lost 5-0 and Peru is not a weak team. Selesao is having fun and it seems that Tite has built a great team that even stands out without the star Neymar. The main player for now seems to be Coutinho, who does not stop giving his best.
Paraguay came here quite accidentally after being equalized of Qatar in the first match, as they were leading 2-0. Then they outplayed Argentina and made X and finally were totally overtaken by some of Columbia’s reserves. After Japan and Ecuador “committed suicide” with this 1-1 draw, Paraguay proved to be a winner, and they were actually the second best third in the group.
We think that here is probably the strongest team in the tournament, which is also host, against the weakest team from the elimination phase. Since we know that Brazil has 3 clean sheets and there are hardly any teams to score a goal to Selesao after World Cup, we do not think Paraguay will do it. At the same time, with this attacking power for Brazil, they would have to score at least 2 goals and we should not expect any intrigue at all here. Prediction – Brazil -1.5 AH at 1.57.
- Brazil has 19 clean sheets in the last 23 matches
- Paraguay has no win at Copa America in 10 consecutive games
