Brazil - Paraguay: Tips, Prognosis & Odds - 02/01/2022 - SOUTH AMERICA: World Cup 2022 - Qualification
Everywhere in the world, the World Cup qualification is entering the decisive phase. In South America, two out of four tickets have already been sold to Brazil and Argentina, which doesn't really make anyone frown. On the last three match days, the other competitors are concerned with qualifying for the World Cup in third or fourth place - or moving into the hopefuls of the intercontinental playoffs in fifth place.

The Selecao will mainly use the coming games to prepare for the World Cup. Coach Tite can try different players in different positions or maybe even study a different tactic. What is certain is that the record world champion will not be worse off than in second place.

For the opponent from Paraguay, however, the situation looks bad. Guillermo Barros Schelotto's team is currently only ninth in the group of ten in South America. Even the back door to fifth place is likely to be slammed on Wednesday night, because the betting provider Admiralbet is clearly predicting a home win in the duel between Brazil and Paraguay.

Brazil - Stats & Current Form
After Germany and Denmark, the Brazilians were the third team to safely qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. To be honest, a World Cup without the Selecao is also unimaginable. It is already clear that the South Americans will be one of the favorites for the title at the end of the year and there is still plenty of time to find the best formation.

The Brazilians have been very stable in recent months. They have only lost one game in their last 22 games – in the Copa America final against arch-rivals Argentina. In the current World Cup qualifier, the Selecao have won all six home games. We therefore expect on Wednesday night that the odds of a home win between Brazil and Paraguay should be correct.

Last Thursday there was a remarkable game in Ecuador. After 20 minutes both teams were decimated after being sent off. Brazil keeper Alisson Becker was also sent off twice later in the game, but video evidence allowed the Liverpool keeper to continue on both occasions. They ended up ending in a 1-1 draw after Casemiro gave the Selecao a 1-0 lead early on.

So Alisson Becker will be in the box against Paraguay. Emerson after the traffic light card and Eder Militao (yellow card suspension) will be missing. Coach Tite also has to do without a few injured players. Among others, Neymar and Roberto Firmino are missing in attack. Lucas Verissimo is not in the squad either. Some changes in the Selecao should still be expected. Casemiro and Vinicius Junior should almost certainly get a breather.

Estimated formation of Brazil:
Alisson - Alex Sandro, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Dani Alves - Fabinho, Fred - Antony, Coutinho, Raphinha - Gabriel Barbosa - Coach: Tite

Paraguay - Stats & Current Form
The Guaranies missed the last two World Cups. There is a high probability that there will be the inglorious hat trick of the botched qualifications before the World Cup in Qatar. Criticism at home is great and it is possible that Guillermo Barros Schelotto will not be coach in Paraguay for very long, even if the Argentine has only been in office since last October. Fans and media are already demanding a realignment in order to be competitive in qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
Free soccer tips
The Paraguayan side have not scored a single goal under their new coach. In total, the Guaranies have been waiting for a win and a goal for six games. Against this background, it would be presumptuous to expect a win on Wednesday night. In the duel between Brazil and Paraguay, the prognosis tends towards a clean sheet victory for the Selecao.

The Paraguayans lost their last chance of a successful World Cup qualification in the last match when Uruguay were guests in Asuncion. Shortly after the break, the Urus scored the decisive goal to win 1-0. Captain Gustavo Gomez was sent off with a traffic light card in added time and will now be suspended in Brazil.

At the moment it is no secret that Paraguay do not have the quality in their squad that other teams in South America can boast of. It is therefore no surprise that the ticket to Qatar can only be solved with a miracle. Even winning a point in Belo Horizonte would almost be a sensation, no matter which side Guillermo Barros lets Schelotto play with.

Probable formation of Paraguay:
Silva - Arzamendi, Alonso, Patino, Escobar - Rojas, Sanchez, Almiron, Ojeda - Sanabria, Gonzalez - Coaches: Barros Schelotto

Brazil – Paraguay: Head-to-head comparison
In total, the paths of the national teams from Brazil and Paraguay crossed 81 times. The direct comparison is a clear matter for the Selecao, who are ahead by 48:11 after victories. After all, the Guaranies got another 21 draws, which at least make the balance sheet look a little more bearable. The Brazilians have all won the last three direct duels without conceding a goal.
Free soccer tips
The last encounter was in the current World Cup qualifier in June last year in Asuncion. The Brazilians took a 1-0 lead through Neymar after just four minutes, but struggled for a long time. It wasn't until the 90th minute that Lucas Paqueta made it 2-0. We can now expect a similar game and result in Belo Horizonte

Betting Base Prediction & Brazil vs Paraguay :Tip
How seriously do the Brazilians take the game against Paraguay? The Selecao don't need points, but of course the Tite team has an obligation to the audience in Belo Horizonte and the other fans. Even if the Brazilians play with the 1B team, a win should still be enough, especially since they do not want to spoil their impeccable home record in World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay.
Free soccer picks
The Paraguayans have not scored in six internationals. Guillermo Barros Schelotto's team is far too safe to use their last chance at the World Cup in Qatar with a win at the Selecao. In our opinion, in the duel between Brazil and Paraguay, the bet in the Bet365 app must be based on the home win.
Free soccer tips
The absences of the Brazilians can be compensated for without any problems. Coach Tite can provide several high-quality teams, whether Neymar and Co. are there or not. It shouldn't fail because of the Selecao's line-up and that's why we decided to play the betting odds in the game between Brazil and Paraguay on a clean sheet win for the home side.
