Tip and bets

2.07Paraguay victory

Paraguay have looked more than decent in recent matches – they beat Brazil, took points away from Ecuador and Uruguay. It is obvious that at home, in a confrontation with a direct competitor and neighbor in the table, the “red-whites” will play only to win – there is definitely a chance to get three points, Venezuela is extremely vulnerable away and has not won in the current selection away from home.

We think that the guests have no chance. Forecast - Paraguay victory . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.07

2.15total over two goals

Bet on total

Paraguay is not known for its sky-high scoring, but today it makes sense to count on goals from the hosts - losing points in home matches in conditions of such tough competition is extremely contraindicated, and the opponent regularly misses away. At the same time, Venezuela has excellent implementation and scored against the Paraguayans in the last two matches, a goal from the guests will not be a big sensation.

Bet - total over two goals. This bet is offered for 2.15

Bet on corners

Paraguay are the favourites and will probably spend most of the match attacking – the home team should win confidently on corners.

Bet - Paraguay win on corners. This bet is offered at 1.61
