Top-3 Predictions for Brazil vs Paraguay
Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Brazil Win or Draw and BTTS No – 1.50
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Brazil -1.5 Goals Handicap – 1.91
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Over 2 Goals – 1.56
Brazil Win
Having one of their best World Cup qualifiers in history, Brazil are undefeated in 14 matches and have already qualified for Qatar 2022. The odds for a home win is 1.29, however, to fatten the profit we combined a Brazil win with both teams not to score since Paraguay have not scored a goal in their last six matches.
Brazil -1.5 Goals Handicap
Despite the fact that Brazil have slowed down in their recent games and have not won their last two outings, we still think the hosts have the capability to win by two goals as they did in three of their last seven games and twice in the last three h2hs.
Over 2 Goals
It has been a fine goal-scoring campaign for the Selecao as they average two goals per game in 14 matches. In addition, in Brazil’s eight matches there were two or more goals scored. Paraguay’s nine matches of 15 on the other hand also saw two or more goals.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Brazil vs Paraguay
It has been an almost flawless campaign for Brazil going unbeaten in the qualifiers and losing just to Argentina last year in the Copa America final. In fact, that is the Selecao’s only defeat in 22 matches in all competitions. With four matches remaining, one of them against Argentina that was abandoned, Brazil will do their best to maintain their record.
Therefore, don’t expect the Green and Yellow to come up against Paraguay underestimating their opponents. Coach Tite knows the Brazilian fans are merciless and want to win especially on home soil. Brazil won the last four meetings with Paraguay in the WCQ in Brazil and three of them by a two-goal margin.
After an eventful showdown in the last round against Ecuador, the Selecao did well to manage a point in a heated affair that saw Emerson from Brazil and Dominguez from Paraguay dismissed.
Goalkeeper Allison was shown the red card twice before it was reversed by VAR on both occasions. Such are the games in South America and going undefeated in 14 matches is a big achievement.
Paraguay have just two wins and seven draws in 15 matches and with two away games in Brazil and Peru still to play, they are almost certainly out of contention for a top-five finish.
Coach Schelotto’s team has not scored against their hosts in their last three meetings. Moreover, with nine goals in the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualification campaign the Guaranies have the worst scoring record among the ten South American national teams.
Sebouh Babikian Brazil vs Paraguay Prediction
No match in South America is a stroll in the park not even for Brazil against whom all teams play hard to get the best possible result. Tite will play to win that’s for sure and we expect a fine Brazilian performance with more goals than their last two encounters. Hence, we back Brazil to win by two goals.
Quick Rich
At Vbet there is a combo bet of both teams to score no and over 2.5 goals with odds of 3.35. There is a 75% chance that we won’t see both teams score in this match. Moreover, if Brazil manage to score early, Paraguay’s game will open up and there will be many chances for the Selecao to score. We will back this bet for a quick profit.
Brazil vs Paraguay First Goalscorer
Matheus Cunha plays his club football for Atletico Madrid and scored seven goals for the Spanish side this season with three assists. He was called recently by Tite to represent the Brazil national team after scoring 21 goals in 23 matches for the Brazil u23. With the bookmakers favoring Cunha to open up the scoring in this match, we will back that bet.

Brazil vs Paraguay Team News
Tottenham’s Emerson will miss this match after his red card against Ecuador. Dani Alves can start at right-back as Tite might have some changes to the team he played in Quito. There are no major injury worries in the Brazilian camp and coach Tite will have a full squad to select from.
Paraguay’s central defender Gustavo Gomez saw two yellow cards and was dismissed against Uruguay. Coach Schelotto Barros may start with Robert Rojas who came on as a substitute in the last match. However, Paraguay’s main problem is upfront as Barros can’t find the right combination of players who can score goals that are lacking in the last six matches.

Brazil: Allison, Silva, Alves, Militao, Sandro, Vinicius, Casemiro, Fred, Raphinha, Coutinho, Cunha.
