Argentina vs Paraguay Prediction & Betting tips

Once again, Lionel Messi makes a start to crown his career with a national title. So much bad luck may not have a player, but the superstar of the Gauchos loses the finals in regularity. Since 2006 he is at World Championships or the Copa America at the start. Argentina has not won anything since. Also this year it does not look like it. Although the Albiceleste has not yet said goodbye to the opening defeat against Colombia from the absolute favorite circle, it is now much more difficult.

In Group B, Colombia are in the lead after defeating Argentina. It is followed by Paraguay and Qatar, who parted with a draw in the opening game. The gauchos are at the end of the classification. That should change in the night to Thursday, because then the Argentines meet on Paraguay. A victory is an absolute duty, with the two best group thirds progressing from the three groups. So stumbling is allowed in this mode, but you have to get up again. We expect that from the gauchos and therefore in the game between Argentina and Paraguay, the prognosis in the direction of a victory for Lionel Messi and Co. second place should it be in this group, then you would meet in the quarterfinals probably Peru or Venezuela. These are opponents that you have to beat in the claims of the Argentine. It will therefore be time for Lionel Scaloni and his kicker to get into the tournament. That they can do it, even if the team was rejuvenated, is beyond question. Therefore, our first impulse in the match between Argentina and Paraguay is a tip for a Gaucho success. Paraguay will fight back and hopes his turn, with a threesome, possibly even make the entry into the quarterfinals perfectly. The Copa America 2019 group match between Argentina and Paraguay at Belo Horizonte’s Estadio Governador Magalhaes Pinto will start on Wednesday night at 1:30 (CET).

Argentina:

Lionel Scaloni sets a very young team at the Copa America. Many teams have caught up in the international comparison to the gauchos, so something had to happen after the end of the round of 16 at the World Cup. With Lionel Messi, Sergio Agüero and Angel di Maria are basically only three of the long-time stars in the team. Apparently, the rebuilding succeeds only slowly. In the last seven games, there have been three defeats for the Argentines. These are balance sheets that the South Americans do not even know. The problems are complex. If Lionel Messi does not work, he’s on the offensive. The back four is not really solid anyway. That’s why we can well imagine testing the odds for a victory for the Gauchos in the match between Argentina and Paraguay, but we’re also counting on a goal. We firmly believe in a victory for the Argentines, as Lionel Scaloni will not want to have a real final in the final group game against Qatar to get ahead of the game.

Not everything was bad against Colombia, what the Argentinians have offered. That it would be a balanced match, was already clear in the run-up. The gauchos had some opportunities to take the lead, but some failed miserably. So Colombia made in the closing stages of the goals to 2: 0 victory. Nevertheless, Lionel Scaloni does not see the story as black as it is done now.

He assumes that victories against Paraguay and Qatar will be enough to get ahead. Personnel, there should be some changes in the starting eleven. It is believed that Renzo Saravia, Sergio Agüero and Angel di Maria will find themselves on the bench. Milton Casco, Lautaro Martinez and Matias Suarez are expected from the beginning. Certainly not included are the two injured Roberto Pereyra and Marcos Acuna, who could only train individually. It will become clear whether Argentina will play better and, above all, more successful with experienced players as pawn victims.

Paraguay:

The great times of the Guarani are apparently over. In the meantime, one is only in eighth or ninth place in South America. This has shown the qualification for the World Cup in Russia. Other teams have passed Paraguay and so the selection of the Argentine coach Eduardo Berizzo is no more than an outsider in the Copa America. This means that in a group with Argentina and Colombia basically only third place is likely to be possible. The latest results are also no encouragement, as in the past nine games, there was only one victory, and you got in a friendly against Guatemala, which could not even qualify for the Gold Cup. The Guarani are not in a good mood and that’s why in the game between Argentina and Paraguay basically just a prognosis for a success of the Albiceleste.

In the opening game against the guests from Qatar the Paraguayans got off to a good start and seemed to be programmed to win. Oscar Cardozo scored in the fourth minute penalty by 1-0. Although Qatar were the better team, Derlis Gonzalez increased their lead to 2: 0 after just one hour. The Asians, however, still got the deserved point. After the first goal Rodrigo Rojas helped by own goal with the 2-2 final score.

Eduardo Berizzo was extremely angry in the aftermath, but let his anger to the organizers of the Copa and publicly asked the question of why a team like Qatar in this tournament may even interfere. A little more self-criticism might have been a bit better for the coach, because with this achievement, it would be very difficult to make the leap into the quarter-finals. In any case, a substantial increase against Argentina will be necessary, because otherwise we can imagine that Paraguay in the second group game under the wheels.
