Paraguay bring a solid and impressive looking eight-game unbeaten run into this upcoming CONMEBOL World cup qualifier against Uruguay when the two nations face off at the Estadio ueno Defensores del Chaco with a precious three points at stake for both sides.
Four wins and four draws have lifted Paraguay up into 5th place where the hosts possess a comfortable looking six-point cushion above 7th placed Venezuela and Gustavo Alfaro’s side will be looking to add to their points tally when they welcome Uruguay.
Recent victories gained over Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina and Chile have certainly been impressive and the hosts are now in pole position to qualify for the forthcoming World Cup in USA barring a disaster.
Paraguay possess a steady looking home record of 5-1-1 7/3 which includes keeping four clean sheets.
Uruguay may occupy 3rd place in the CONMEBOL table but the visitors have had to rely upon the impressive work that they achieved earlier in this World Cup qualifying campaign as they have managed to capture just one win from their last eight games overall.
The Uruguayans stormed out of the starting blocks in the early stages of this campaign, winning four of their opening six games which consisted of victories at the expense of Chile, Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia respectively.
However, Marcelo Bielsa’s side have picked up just one more win in their subsequent eight World Cup qualifiers which came in the form of a 3-2 home win against 6th placed Colombia, but also includes being involved in five draws and two defeats.
Perhaps even more worrying is the fact that La Celeste have failed to score in six of their last eight games.
The Betting Verdict
Paraguay with home advantage look set to at least avoid defeat here but the hosts could nick a narrow win.
The Pick :
Paraguay 1-0 Uruguay
