As part of one of the matches of the qualifying cycle for the 2022 World Cup, the national teams of Argentina and Colombia will play against each other. Who will win in one of the central meetings of the game day in South America? LiveResult.Ru evaluates the chances of success.
Brazil
The Brazilian national team guaranteed itself a ticket to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar ahead of schedule last year. The Brazilians hold the qualifying tournament without defeats – 11 wins and 3 draws in 14 matches. It is worth noting that Selesao were able to score 28 goals, conceding in only 5 cases. After 14 rounds, Brazil is 4 points ahead of Argentina and 12 points ahead of its next pursuer, Ecuador. It is worth noting that the Pentacampeons have not lost since July 2021, when they lost to Argentina in the final of the Copa America with a score of 0:1.
Paraguay
The national team of Paraguay has not lost its chances to get to the World Cup, but these opportunities are very illusory. The Paraguayans managed to get 13 points in 15 meetings and are now in the penultimate place in the qualifying tournament. From the fifth line, which allows playing in play-off matches, Paraguay is 6 points behind, and from the fourth - by 7. It is worth noting that the guests score too little. They have 9 goals scored, with 19 goals conceded. The Paraguayans missed a great chance to return to the fight for the World Cup, because on January 28 they lost to Uruguay with a score of 0:1.
Statistics and figures:
- Brazil is the favorite of the meeting;
- Brazilians do not know defeats in 8 meetings in a row;
- Paraguay does not know victories in 6 meetings in a row;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 2:0 in favor of the Brazilians.
Forecast
I am sure that in this match the opponent will not be able to break the total of 2.5 goals. Our bet in this case will be in favor of the bookmaker's "bottom", for which the bookmakers give a very solid quote.
