Tony Popovich's team started the World Cup with a confident victory over Turkey, which was considered the favorite of the group 2:0, but in the next round they could not beat the hosts of the tournament, the Americans. Australia was not shy about going on the attack and even pressured the hosts of the tournament, however, it soon sank. The player class, which is lower than that of the United States, has affected.

At the end of the first half, there was a second goal against sokkurez. At first, this ball was canceled, but VAR intervened and showed that there was no offside.

Tip and bets
In today's match, the opponents will distribute the second place in the group among themselves. Australia only needs a draw with Paraguay to advance directly to the 1/16 finals. With equal points, the Australians will remain higher in total goal difference, but a defeat will send the team to third place. Tony Popovich's team was considered the outsider of the group, but after the victory over Turkey, they cleared all questions about their status. The Australians have experience reaching the playoffs and have reached the 1/8 finals at two World cups (Qatar 2022 and Germany 2006). It should be noted that in personal meetings, the yellow-greens have never lost to Guarani in history and prevailed in two of the three matches held. It seems like a good option to bet that Australia will not lose for a low coefficient of 1.40, but we'll take a chance and play for the victory of the socceroos with a safety net.
Betting Tip – Asian handicap (0) for Australia with a coefficient of 2.20
Bet on the total
In the last five games, the national team of Paraguay has scored at least one goal, and the Australians have not left the field without scoring in four of the past six matches. We also note that there were at least two goals scored in three head-to-head confrontations between the rivals, and today, most likely, we will see a large number of goals again. We believe that the scoring extravaganza will take place in the duel for the second place in the quartet.
The betting tip is a total of more than 1.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.60
Betting on corners
Australia is likely to rely on ball control and play attacking football, and Paraguay does not intend to stay on the defensive. It should be noted that in the last three games out of five, the South American national team has served at least eight corner kicks. We expect that there will be a large number of corners today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 7.5 with a coefficient of 1.80
