Paraguay vs Australia Preview

A pair of sides that have overcome many pre-tournament predictions meet in Group D, as Paraguay take on Australia.

With both managing to beat much-fancied Turkiye, the equation is simple here.

A win guarantees the victor will go through, while a draw puts both teams in a fantastic position to qualify in either second or third place.

Both teams were also duly dispatched by the USA, who do very much look to be a force to be reckoned with, so it is hard to get a read on which team has the edge here.

Paraguay possess some exciting attacking options and look to work hard off the ball, while Australia’s defence is notoriously tough to break down.

This should be an intriguing clash, with the draw a great result for both teams but will one go ahead and risk it all for a win.

Here is a look ahead to Paraguay vs Australia:

Pragmatism always comes into play during World Cups and both Paraguay and Australia have to look at the bigger picture here.

While a win would see them sail through and in theory, give them an easier knockout rounds draw, there are plenty of associated risks.

Paraguay’s performance against Turkey was dogged, the complete opposite to their leaky display against the USA, making them a very tough side to read.

Australia also dug deep to beat Turkiye but found USA too hot to handle and now have work to do in order to reach the last 32.

This will be a good game, with plenty on the line but both sides may end up settling for the draw.

What both sides have in common here is a willingness to get the ball down and play and this should be a very good game for the neutral.

The odds are unusually low for a draw; such is the benefit for both sides in terms of group progression and that may encourage them to go for it a touch.

Australia showed a real cutting edge against Turkiye, while Paraguay also demonstrated real quality in forward areas.

This game could ebb and flow and the score draw looks a decent value bet.

This should be a fascinating game for the neutral, with Group D seriously taking shape and both teams will look to show attacking intent.

Miguel Almiron will be a miss for Paraguay, but they still have plenty of key talent, while Australia’s industry in wide areas can create chances.

Drawing the game will be the minimum expectation for both sides and both teams to score represents decent value.
