Key Stats
Uruguay vs Paraguay Predictions
Despite the fact that Paraguay are above Uruguay in the rankings, we see the Uruguayans as a much better team, with the advantage of individual talented players such as Luis Suarez, Fede Valverde, Diego Godín, Ronald Araújo, etc. They are also playing at home, which further boosts their status as favourites.
Both teams have an attacking style, but in particular the Uruguayans, which means that we expect there could be plenty of goals.
