Pressure on Paraguay in Copa opener

The pressure will be on Paraguay when Eduardo Berizzo’s men face Bolivia in their opening Copa America Group B clash.

Stuck in the same group as Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, the loser of this opening game will find it very difficult to avoid elimination by finishing bottom of the pile.

Los Guaraníes will also be keen to make up for dropping two vital World Cup qualifying points when these nations last met in November.

Bolivia’s appearances in the latter stages of the tournament are rare with La Verde only having made it out if the group stages once since their shock final appearance nine editions ago.

So they won’t be burdened with any expectation ahead of kick-off and ought to feel as though they can realistically produce a shock result.

Cesar Farias’ men took four points from their two most recent games against Venezuela and Chile, scoring four goals in the process.

The 1-1 draw with Chile in Santiago looks great on paper, but the hosts missed a hatful of easy chances in a game that could easily have finished 4-1 or more.

There is still reluctance to back Bolivia to beat a team that was also clearly superior to them last time out, but we’re giving La Verde the green light for a draw.

A new-found ability to stay in games when they are under the pump and even punish opponents who overcommit makes us think another score draw could be on the cards, but this time 1-1.
