Paraguay vs Argentina Betting Tips

Paraguay managed to end their three match losing streak on Thursday when an 85^th minute goal from Derlis Gonzalez helped them to a 1-0 victory over Venezuela.

This ended a three match losing streak for Paraguay. Chile beat them 3-2 in a friendly back at the start of September, and before that they lost to Argentina and Peru in the Copa America.

To be fair to them, they did manage to make it to the semi finals of the competition though, and knocked out Brazil in the quarter finals.

Paraguay have only won two of their last 12 matches in all competitions though, with a win over Jamaica being their only normal time victory prior to Thursday’s win.

It was actually Argentina who ended Paraguay’s Copa America dreams when they thrashed them 6-1 in the semi finals, and the home side will be hoping that they can avoid such embarrassment on Tuesday.

Argentina will be keen to show their true colours as well after they lost their opening qualification match on Thursday.

A quickfire double in the final ten minutes saw Ecuador come away with a 2-0 win in Buenos Aires, a result which made it just two wins from Argentina’s last five games.

They lost in the Copa America final when hosts Chile beat them in a penalty shootout, and they drew in a friendly against Mexico in September.

Their wins have been by landslides though, with a 6-1 win over Paraguay and a 7-0 thrashing of Bolivia making up their two victories.

Even without the injured Lionel Messi, Argentina have a huge amount of talent at their disposal. The winning mentality of the likes of Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria, Javier Mascherano and company should spur them on to victory on Wednesday after a dismal showing in their last game.

This, coupled with excellent value odds of 21/20 for an Argentina win, make an away win my backing of choice, along with a 2-0 correct score prediction at 8/1.
