Peru vs Paraguay Predictions

Nowadays Peru is one of the most developed teams in South America, and they have more experienced players. We believe that this will give the Peruvians the advantage, as there is little difference in the playing ability of both teams, making the Peruvians our favourites in this match.

Southamerican football is very physical and very hard, with regular fouls and cuts in play. In a match of these stakes, this will be even more prominent and so we think this could be a close game with few goals.
