Uruguay vs Paraguay Predictions and Betting Tips
The Estadio Centenario is the stage for this encounter between Uruguay and Paraguay in the CONMEBOL FIFA World Cup qualification on Thursday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Over their last eight meetings, Uruguay has been the dominant side with four wins compared to Paraguay’s solitary victory. This means they’ve played out a stalemate on three occasions. However, the last two games ended in an Uruguay victory with the chance to make it three in a row this Thursday.
Uruguay keen on preserving unbeaten run
Uruguay would be keen on getting back to winning ways having lost their most recent at home to Brazil. This would be their second loss in three games in these qualifiers. This poor run had caused them to remain in 5th place having copped six points from four games.
On the other hand, Paraguay has been really tough to beat in recent weeks as they are currently enjoying a seven-game unbeaten run. However, it is important to note that they have won only two of those matches with the remaining five ending in draws. In their most recent game, they played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at home against Bolivia.
