Paraguay vs Bolivia Prediction & Betting tips
Bolivia in free fall – the qualification for the 2022 World Cup for “La Verde” could not have gone any worse. After three match days, the Bolivian national team is bottom of the table and has become a point supplier for the South American competition. The away game in Paraguay is on the fourth matchday.
For the white-reds, the home game against the Bolivian national team is, so to speak, a mandatory task. As fifth in the table, the Paraguayans can make the jump to a direct starting place for the 2022 World Cup with a home win in the best possible scenario. The team of national coach Eduardo Berizzo does not want to miss that chance.
Paraguay:
So far, the white-reds can be more than satisfied with the start of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. After “only” a draw against Peru at the beginning of the qualification, there was recently an away win in Venezuela (1: 0) and a surprising point win against Argentina (1: 1). At the end of the current international break, three points should now be scored.
In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday (CET) the “Los Guaranies” will play their home game against Bolivia, the bottom of the table in the qualifying group. If the Paraguayan national team wins the match against the Bolivians, not only will the fifth place in the table be defended, but the chance of a direct starting place for the 2022 World Cup will also be preserved.
All that is needed is some support from the group competition. At home, Paraguay saw only one win in the last six home games, although the home win over Guatemala should not be praised too much. Under the leadership of Berizzo, who took over as coach of the Paraguayan national team since February 2019, a record of 1-3-0 is recorded in four home games.
In any case, the Paraguayans have not lost an international match since October 2019. The white-reds have now been unbeaten for six international matches in a row. So it would be all the more surprising if that series ripped against the in shape guests from Bolivia. Berizzo is unlikely to mess around with his most recent starting grid.
The offensive trio will thus form Romero, Lezcano and Almiron. With a market value of almost 16 million euros, the latter is the most valuable player in the “Los Guaranies” line-up.
Bolivia :
After three match days, Bolivia has its back to the wall in the South American qualifying group for the 2022 World Cup. So far, “La Verde” has not won a point, which is why hopes of participating in the World Cup have already dwindled. The next setback could now follow in Paraguay, where the Bolivians are playing the fourth match.
It is expected that the Bolivian national team will miss out on taking part in the big World Cup for the seventh time in a row. The last time Bolivia took part in the 1994 World Cup, where “La Verde” had to give up in the group stage. Since then, the Bolivians have lagged behind the great expectations and have recently remained largely harmless in the Copa America.
In the last competition in Brazil in 2019 there was only the last place in the table, which means that “La Verde” was eliminated for the second time in a row as bottom of the group at the Copa America without winning a point. In the current World Cup qualification, a similar scenario threatens, even if the Bolivians recently just missed winning a point.
In contrast to last week, when Bolivia benefited from their home advantage, “La Verde” will have to play in the upcoming group game abroad. Accordingly, the Bolivians’ role as outsiders is hardly surprising. There have been seven defeats in the last seven away games. There has been no away win for the Bolivian national team since October 2018.
In the last five away games, the Bolivian selection always lost with at least two goals difference. It is quite possible that this negative trend will continue in Paraguay. César Farias, Bolivian national team coach, is unlikely to make any major changes to the starting XI.
