On Wednesday, 12th June a friendly football match will be held between the national teams of Chile and Paraguay.
Chileans nearly failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, and now in the final round, they need to beat Argentina to secure a spot. However, their main focus at the moment is the Copa America. In recent friendlies, the team has shown excellent form. They easily defeated a resilient Albania (3:0) and had a close battle with France (3:2). Chile boasts an experienced squad: Claudio Bravo, Mauricio Isla, and Alexis Sanchez are in great shape for their age and capable of changing the game's outcome.
The visitors concede few goals, but they also struggle to score. This year they played one friendly match with Peru, which ended in a draw (0:0). Overall, Paraguay's squad is quite solid, but their attacking line is rather lacklustre.
Since 2021, the teams have met five times. Chile has three wins (3:2, 1:0, 2:0), Paraguay has one victory (2:0), and one match ended in a draw (0:0).
Judging by recent friendlies, the Chilean team is currently in excellent form, while Paraguay fails to impress. I believe that on their home ground in Santiago, the hosts should secure a narrow victory. Therefore, I would take a win for Chile at 1.84.
