2021 Copa America: Paraguay v. Argentina

What will be the match result?

Paraguay: Win, Draw or Lose By 1

Argentina: Win By 2+ Goals

 

Current odds:

Paraguay (+1.5): (-200)

Argentina (-1.5): (+150)

 

• Three points from two games is all Argentina need to confirm their place in the Copa América (CA) quarter finals, but they’ll be seeking a top-two spot as they’ll likely avoid Brazil and Colombia in the last eight by doing so. Argentina will believe they can gather all three points here at Mané Garrincha in Brasília, as they’ve never lost to Paraguay in this tournament (W19, D6). However, they will be wary of an opponent they haven’t beaten in four H2Hs (D3, L1) since winning back in July 2015 in a match that involved just four members of the current squad.

• Two-time CA winners Paraguay last won this tournament in 1979, and are consistent first-phase movers having reached at least the quarter finals in nine of their last 11 CA appearances. A 3-1 winning start to this campaign was a refreshing change though, as it was their first CA win since June 2015 (D6, L5 hence – 90 mins only). However they haven’t started a Copa tournament with consecutive wins since 2007.

• Carrying Argentina’s title hopes, Lionel Messi has scored and assisted in this edition already. He’s also scored once and assisted three in his last two CA H2Hs. Meanwhile, Ángel Romero scored Paraguay’s sole goal in the last H2H, and started this competition with a brace.
