USA vs Paraguay Prediction & Betting Tips (15 November)

Qualified as host country for the next World Cup, the United States hopes to perform in front of its home crowd next June and, why not, achieve its best run in a World Cup since 2002 when they reached the quarter-finals. Beaten in the final of the last Gold Cup last June by rival Mexico 1-2, Team USA was then dominated by South Korea 0-2. But since then, the Americans have resumed their march forward by lining up 2 victories in 3 matches against Japan 2-0, Ecuador 1-1 and Australia 2-1 last month. Paraguay, for its part, will also be part of the debates during the next World Cup.

The 39th nation in the Fifa rankings will play its first World Cup since the 2010 edition in South Africa thanks to its 6th place obtained during the South American qualifiers. A ranking to put into perspective since the Guaranies finished just one point behind 2nd place won by Ecuador. Last month, the Albirroja played 2 friendly matches which did not go very well, against Japan 2-2 and especially against South Korea 2-0. 

For this gathering, Mauricio Pocchettino was able to summon some of his usual executives. We think of the defensive captains Ream (Charlotte, 78 sel), Dest (PSV, 35 sel), McKenzie (Toulouse, 24 sel) and Scally (Mönchengladbach) and the midfielders Roldan (Seattle Sounders, 41 sel), Reyna (Mönchengladbach, 32 sel, 8 goals) and Tessman (Lyon, 10 sel). Up front, the interesting Aaronson (Leeds, 54 sels, 9 goals), Pepi (PSV, 33 sels, 13 goals), Balogun (Monaco, 21 sels, 7 goals) and Wright (Coventry, 19 sels, 7 goals) are also present. Conversely, defenders Richards (Crystal Palace, 35 sel) and Robinson (Fulham, 50 sel), midfielders Adams (Bournemouth, 52 sel), Cardoso (Atlético, 22 sel), McKennie (Juventus, 62 sel, 11 goals) and Tillman (Bayer Leverkusen) and attackers Pulisic (AC Milan, 82 sel, 32 goals) are not there.

On the Paraguayan side, we find several players well established in Europe such as defenders Alderete (Sunderland, 33 sel) and Caceres (Dynamo Moscow), midfielders Gomez (Brighton, 19 sel), Cuenca (Genoa) and Leon (Manchester United) and attackers Sanabria (Cremonese, 43 sel, 6 goals) and Enciso (Strasbourg, 27 salts, 4 goals). We also find the very good playmaker Miguel Almiron (Atlanta United, 71 selections, 9 goals, ex Newcastle). On the other hand, the formidable Angel Romero (51 caps, 8 goals) is not on the list of players called for this gathering.
