Paraguay faces Bolivia in round 1 of Copa America. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 15th at Estádio Olímpico Pedro Ludovico (Goiania)
Paraguay is not a team that often pleases its fans with victories. In the current qualification cycle, it gained three points only in the first match. The Red-Whites beat Venezuela back in October. Moreover, Jimenez scored the only goal in the 85th minute. However, Paraguay has always managed to offer decent resistance to its opponents. And three out of six qualification matches ended in draws. In June, Eduardo Berizzo's charges started from a goalless draw on the field of Uruguay. Then they suffered a defeat, but they lost 0-2 to Brazil, and Neymar broke all the opponent's plans by opening the scoring in the 4th minute.

Bolivia is considered one of the weakest national teams in South America. And its success is usually attributed to the geographical factor. The team hosts its opponents in La Paz, one of the most highland cities in the world. The victory over Venezuela was also explained by the fact that the opponent was exhausted (3-1). Marcelo Moreno netted a double. He did not really show himself at Shakhtar Donetsk, but he is the record holder in the national team. The forward improved his performance in the next game. The Bolivians looked weak on the Chilean pitch and were losing deservedly, but they managed not to concede the second goal and earned a penalty in the 82nd minute. The forward did not miss the chance to bring his partners an honorable 1-1 draw.
Bolivia didn’t lose in the last two consecutive head-to-head matches. In 2016, the Greens even won at home thanks to the own goal. And the last game ended in a 2-2 draw in Paraguay. Bookmakers think that Paraguay will win in Goiania. But the Red-Whites should play attack first, which is not typical for them. Let's dwell on the neutral variant with Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
