Why Colombia Will Win

The Paraguay defense is tough, but Luis Diaz and James Rodriguez have dominated defenses over Colombia’s 23-game unbeaten run. Colombia’s test will come in the final group stage game against Brazil, and there’s a good chance it will feature two unbeaten teams vying for first in the group.

The game could come down to Colombia’s midfielders, Jefferson Lerma and Daniel Munoz. The Crystal Palace teammates must help Diaz and Rodriguez in attack, as it’ll be hard to break down Paraguay’s stingy back line by themselves.

Why Paraguay Will Win

Can Miguel Amiron make something out of nothing and grab a critical goal for Paraguay in this matchup? He hasn’t been able to score for Paraguay, as they’ve scored zero goals in seven of their last nine games. Paraguay will try to win this game with defense, and they’ll need to win in a low-scoring matchup to escape with three points. It’ll be difficult for Paraguay to beat Colombia or Brazil, so they may be content to try and squeeze out some draws and then beat Costa Rica in the final match.

Can Paraguay pull this off if they play perfect defense? Yes, they can, but it won’t be easy.

Final Colombia-Paraguay Prediction & Pick

Colombia has a good offense, but we’re banking on them not to win by more than a 2-0 score in this game. Paraguay will come into this tournament with a defense-first approach because of their lack of attacking power. Paraguay has been shut out in seven of their last nine matches.

The under 2.5 goals hit in nine of Paraguay’s last ten matches, and it should continue in this game unless Colombia’s offense explodes. The opposite happened in Colombia’s games, as their games have gone over in four of their past six matches. Those results aren’t a concern, as these teams played five times since June 23rd, 2019. There have been a total of six goals scored, with all five games going under.
