Chile vs. Paraguay, Predictions & Betting Lines

Last Updated on June 24, 2021 1:42 pm by

The draw against Uruguay was a good result for the Chilean team, as it had some physical complications during the match. Guillermo Maripán and Eduardo Vargas were physically affected, and towards the end of the match, Erick Pulgar joined them. With this last casualty, the national team had to face the last minutes with only 10 players. Despite that, they were able to hold the result and thus leave with the score even, on the other hand, the Paraguayan national team comes from losing against Argentina, by only 1-0. Although the Paraguayans showed that they deserved the tie and even the victory, they could not take advantage of the opportunities provided by the Albiceleste defense. Chile vs. Paraguay will meet in one of the matches of the fourth day of the group stage of the Copa America; this duel will be held on Thursday night, June 24, 2021, at 19:00 E.T. at the National Stadium in Brasilia, where it will also be broadcast on television thanks to DIRECTV Sports.

Now let’s review the current events of both teams on the eve of tonight’s duel between Chile and Paraguay: 

Chile: The team is still undefeated in the three group stage matches it has played. Martín Lasarte’s team is one of the teams that could be one of the great surprises of the current Copa America, being hard-working and challenging to beat team. After having drawn against Uruguay (1-1) in a very even match where the defenses outplayed the attacks, they come to this match. They are currently in second place with 5 points, and a win against Paraguay would assure them a place in the finals. However, this will not be an easy task, as their opponent will not make it easy for them on Friday.

Paraguay: They started the group stage with a 3-1 win over Bolivia but could not score in their second match, having lost by the minimum to Argentina. However, the fact that they competed so well against one of the tournament’s great favorites gives the Guaraníes reason for hope, and they will have to give their all to reach the quarterfinals. Eduardo Berizzo’s team will be looking for a return to winning ways in a tough match against Chile with a defensive and intense game.
