Paraguay have picked up four points in their last two qualifiers, beating Bolivia with a slender 1-0 victory on home turf before drawing 0-0 with Chile in a contest which saw both teams reduced to 10 men. Those two results now leave The Guaranies in 7th place out of 10 teams, with a win having the potential to see them climb as high as 4th.
Things are going well for Colombia. They're riding high off the back of a massive win over Brazil last Friday and remain the only unbeaten team in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying. Top spot will be the aim for Nestor Lorenzo's side, who can climb ahead of Uruguay and Argentina win a comfortable win and the right results elsewhere.
Paraguay vs Colombia Tips
All signs point to this game being a low scoring affair. Paraguay have netted just one goal across their five fixtures so far, conceding only two themselves. They've kept consecutive clean sheets, coming against Bolivia first before grinding out a 0-0 draw with Chile having had 10 men for almost half of the game. All five of their matches during qualifying have fallen under this particular goals line.
Three of Columbia's fixtures have seen one or fewer goals scored. Recent clashes with Brazil and Uruguay - two of the best teams they'll come up against - have finished above this cap, however, both of those have been played on home soil. They've drawn three of their five qualifiers to date, with two of these outings coming away from home. To say they're positioned strongly in 3rd place, it's surprising to see that Colombia have only netted five goals and shipped three.
The last four meetings between this pair have seen a measly five goals scored, with this best proving successful in two of those encounters. Paraguay and Colombia are two teams whose games are averaging the fewest goals in World Cup qualifiers at the moment and this head-to-head should display that pattern further.
Although we don't believe this match will feature many goals, we're also not entirely confident that it'll end in a stalemate. That's why we're highlighting the attractive price to you for Luis Diaz to find the net against Paraguay.
Diaz has netted four times for Liverpool this campaign, hitting three in the Premier League and adding another to his tally through the Europa League group stages. The tricky winger recently netted a brace in the memorable 2-1 victory over Brazil four days ago, handing them back-to-back defeats during qualifying for the first time ever. That now puts him on 11 goals for the national side in 44 appearances and as a motivated man now that his father has been safely returned, we can only expect to see a fit and firing Luis Diaz for Colombia.
