LiontipsUSA - Paraguay: betting tip (cf 2.77) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
The U.S. national team played its last official matches a year ago as part of the Gold Cup. Then we managed to reach the final, but we couldn't beat Mexico one step away from the trophy (1:2). In the future, all the preparations for the home World Cup took place through numerous friendly matches. The results were unstable, often unpredictable. The only thing you should pay attention to is the regular defensive failures in matches against top European teams. Mauricio Pochettino's players lost to Belgium (2:5), Portugal (0:2) and Germany (1:2). Characteristically, they even won against Senegal, conceding two goals (3:2).
Today you will have to play against an opponent who relies on reliable defense. In such a match, even one missed goal can seriously complicate the task of scoring three points. In attack, a lot will depend not only on forwards Balogun, Pepi and Wright, but also on playmaker Pulisic, who has 86 national team matches under his belt.
Disqualifications and injuries
Cardozo and Luna are injured, and Tessmann is out.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last four matches, the Americans have conceded more than one goal.
- The exchange of goals was in four of the five previous matches of the U.S. national team.
Approximate composition: Fries – Mackenzie, Rome, Richards – Dest, Adams, McKenney, A. Robinson – Tillman, Pulisic – Balogun.
Current form
Paraguay last competed at the World Cup in 2010, when it achieved the highest result in history – it reached the quarterfinals. This time, the national team took sixth place in the South American qualifying tournament and received a direct ticket to the World Cup. However, Gustavo Alfaro's team is remembered for its pragmatic football: only 14 goals scored and 10 conceded in 18 matches played. In total, more than one goal was scored in four meetings with the Paraguayans. There is no reason to expect tactics to change at the world championships. Key forward Julio Enciso is injured, and Mauricio and Sosa are rarely happy with goals. He can only hope for Sanitation, but it will be difficult for him alone.
Just before the start of the World Cup, the national team of Paraguay played only one friendly match, in which they beat Nicaragua without problems (4:0). Before that, in the spring, during the previous training camp, they managed to beat Greece (1:0), and there was also a defeat from Morocco (1:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Enciso will not play due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last four matches of the national team of Paraguay, the exact score was 0:0 in the first half.
- The exchange of goals was in three of the five previous matches of the Pargavians
Approximate composition: R. Fernandez – H. Caceres, G. Gomez, Alderete, Alonso – Cubas, Bobadilla – Almiron, D. Gomez, Mauricio – Sanabria.
Trends
The bet is the victory of the US national team in shots on target
In five of the last six matches, U.S. players have scored more shots on goal than their opponents.
Bet The U.S. national team will not lose by fouls
This bet was successful in five of the six previous American matches.
The bet is an accurate score of 1:1
The Americans have won only one of the last four matches.
Tip and bets
Americans, regardless of their opponent, rely on attack in their game. They don't have any particular problems with scoring goals, in the nine previous matches they only failed to hit Portugal's goal. At the same time, the defense is still a vulnerable spot in the game of Mauricio Pochettino's players, who failed to win back in eight consecutive matches. Today we have to play against an opponent who relies on defense, practically does not allow opponents to create anything at their own goal, and if they manage to get ahead in the score, they close completely in defense and play to hold the score.
The national team of Paraguay is unlikely to risk playing open soccer with the USA. Without Enciso in the attack, almost all hopes are connected only with Sanabria, who alone will have a hard time attacking. Alfaro's team will rely on their reliable defense, which actually earned them a ticket to the World Cup, conceding only 10 goals in the qualifying tournament. We do not think that the Americans will be able to win the game against such an opponent today.
Our betting tip is that Paraguay will not lose by a factor of 1.90
Bet on the total
When choosing a total bet, we also rely on the way the Paraguayan national team plays, with an obvious emphasis on defense. In 18 qualifying matches with the Paraguayans, only four times more than one goal was scored. Even taking into account the attacking game of the Americans, it will be difficult to open the defense of the South American national team several times.
The second bet is the individual total of the USA goals less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.67
Betting on corners
In matches involving the United States, you can often see a decent number of corners, which is largely due to the attacking style of play of the national team. In four of the six previous matches, the Americans played more than ten innings from the corner flag, which we are waiting for today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 10.5 with a coefficient of 2.77
