Paraguay vs Brazil Tips
Tip 1
Rodrygo Silva de Goes has three goals in seven World Cup qualifiers for Brazil so far, providing his side with the winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Ecuador last Saturday.
Two of the Real Madrid forward’s last three goals for his country have come on Brazil’s travels, and considering how they’ve outmanoeuvred the White and Red away from home without any hiccups the past two times, we feel Rodrygo can get in on the action at a tempting price.
Tip 2
Despite an overabundance of draws since Dorival Junior took charge of the national team in January this year, Brazil still have far too much quality, especially in attacking areas, for Paraguay to handle.
That very fact reared itself in June’s victory – the second successive meeting between these two which has seen Brazil net four goals.
Sitting in fourth on 10 points, the Green-Yellow still have plenty to do to ensure that they book their ticket to the 2026 tournament, and a substantial victory over Paraguay this week helps to ease any potential concerns regarding that position.
