Paraguay vs Australia Prediction & Tips
Paraguay’s campaign has followed a familiar pattern under Gustavo Alfaro: a heavy 4-1 opening defeat to the United States followed by a disciplined, low-block 1-0 win over Turkey. Their defensive identity has been the foundation of their tournament, though they did concede heavily in their opener and have allowed a high volume of shots. Star playmaker Miguel Almirón provides their main creative spark, though he is suspended for this fixture after picking up a red card against Turkey.
Australia, under Tony Popovic, arrive with a superior goal difference after beating Turkey 2-0 before a comfortable defeat to the United States. The Socceroos have shown defensive solidity and organization throughout the group stage, with 20-year-old forward Nestory Irankunda already on the scoresheet at this World Cup and emerging as their most dangerous attacking outlet.
