Paraguay take on the visitors Nicaragua in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Sunday, June 18th.
Paraguay have been struggling lately, with modest and unremarkable results, and this has been the case for several years now. It can be said that the level of this national team has declined, and it is not as formidable a force in South American football as it used to be. This year, the national team has only played one match so far, losing 2-3 to Chile. Overall, Paraguay is currently on a streak of three consecutive defeats. It may seem that the upcoming match against a modest opponent will be an easy victory for the hosts. However, it is more likely to be a misconception, and the Paraguayans will not be able to please their fans with a convincing win. In their previous nine encounters, Paraguay has won twice, and in both cases, the victories were by a score of 1-0. Currently, I am leaning towards a similar outcome, where if Paraguay wins, it will be a narrow victory.

Nicaragua lack star power; they are on par with teams like Honduras, Panama, and Costa Rica. Yes, Nicaragua does not demonstrate any particularly outstanding or impressive results, but they can put up a fight against weaker opponents. This year, the national team has already played four matches, winning 4-1 against Saint Vincent, drawing 1-1 with Trinidad and Tobago, losing 2-3 to Panama, and suffering a 1-4 defeat to Uruguay. The defeat against Uruguay was actually one of the largest for Nicaragua in recent times. Therefore, they are not a straightforward team to deal with, and Nicaragua knows how to put up a strong fight. Thus, it would be premature to write off the guests in this match.
Bookmakers actively favor the hosts and predict a big victory for Paraguay. However, this raises certain doubts because Nicaragua is not as easy to handle as it may seem, and they can put up a resilient fight. Therefore, I would suggest considering the handicap bet: (+2) for Nicaragua. It is a reasonable betting option for this match, as a fierce battle can easily ensue.
Prediction for the match: Nicaragua to win with +2.0 handicap.
