LiontipsColombia vs Paraguay. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers (November 17, 2021).
Command Analysis
Colombia had a very powerful start in the World Cup qualifiers, but recently they have struggled to earn points. Currently, Reinaldo Rueda's charges are 5th in the table with 16 points, behind the 4th Chile only due to worse goal difference. They are followed by Uruguay, who also have 16 points. In the last round, Los Cafeteros lost to Brazil (0:1), thus extending their winless streak to 4 games.
Paraguay are only 8th in the South American qualification, 4 points behind Colombia. Guillermo Barros Schelotto has recently replaced Eduardo Berisso as head coach; Berisso left after Paraguay suffered a 0:4 defeat to Bolivia, but Schelotto got off to a bad start, too: in the last round, Paraguay lost to Chile (0:1). To get a chance for a Top-5 finish, Paraguay now must beat Uruguay and Peru.
Trends
This score was recorded in 3 out of 6 head-to-head games.
Paraguay conceded in the second half in the last 3 games.
In 2 out of 3 away games, Paraguay scored against Colombia in the second half.
Tip and bets
Colombia had very powerful opponents in the last games and lost too many points. Now they risk losing a spot in the Top-5, and surely they will do anything to win today. Paraguay lost the last three away games with a total score of 0:8, so we think that currently they are no match to Colombia.
Our prediction - Colombia to win
Colombia did not score in the last 4 games, but today is their chance to redeem themselves. Paraguay show very poor defensive play in away games, but at the same time, they have quality performers in the attack. We predict that both sides will score.
Our second bet - both to score
