Paraguay hosts Brazil in round 6 of the World Cup qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 9th at Estadio Defensores del Chaco (Asunción)
The Paraguayans were famous for their ability to skillfully prevent their opponents from playing spectacular football. The years slide past, generations change, and this team is invariably happy with a draw. Should you be surprised at the fact that the men of Eduardo Berizzo tied in four out of five rounds? The only exception was a last year's 0-1 victory over Venezuela, but then Jimenez opened the scoring already in the 85th minute, and the hosts did not have time to respond with something. The last round ended in a goalless draw. But we must admit that the Paraguayans looked almost better than Uruguay led by Luis Suarez. Playing defense first, they created more chances but did not upset Muslera.

The Brazilians have not shown outstanding results at the World Cups for a very long time. They went to Russia as the main favorite but did not even make it to the semifinals. But it seems Seleçao have recovered after that blow. They won Copa America under the management of Tite, and now they are more than confidently going through the qualification. The national team of Brazil won all five games in the current qualification. It was not so easy with Ecuador, which was diligently defending. But Neymar made a difference, as a real leader should do. It was after his pass that Richarlison finally upset Dominguez in the 65th minute. And then the star forward himself “closed” the game, scoring from the penalty spot just before the final whistle. In fact, the Brazilians need to do the same thing in Asuncion, that is, to breach the deep defense of the opponent.
Brazil has not lost seven consecutive head-to-head matches in regulation time. But at the same time, it won only one game of the last six, beating Paraguay at home in 2017 (3-0). The last away victory of Selecao dates back to 1985. Now experts consider the Brazilians to be the clear favorites. But Paraguay knows how to play with this team, and Brazil is unlikely to strive for thumping. It is worth thinking about betting on the hosts to win with a +1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Paraguay to win with +1.0 handicap
