Brazil backers had their fingers burnt when they drew a blank against Costa Rica, a result which means the Selecao are not guaranteed to win Group D. Dorival Junior’s side were typically dominant in that clash and the manager will put his faith in the likes of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Raphinha to get the job done in this clash.
For those expecting a Brazilian win, there isn’t a huge amount of juice in the price when it comes to a victory, although a triumph for the favourites along with BTTS No could be a decent option. We’re not expecting goalkeeper Alisson to be particularly busy, especially as he’s covered by Marquinhos and Eder Militao in central defence.
Paraguay will try to replicate that sound defensive performance from Costa Rica although the fact that two goals were conceded in that first half against the Colombians doesn’t bode well for their prospects of keeping their opponents at bay. Those looking to populate a Bet Builder might want to consider Vinicius Junior to find the net and open his account.
There’s the potential option to back Brazil to lead at half-time and full-time at a similar price to a bloodless win for the Selecao, while those expecting the margin of victory to be two goals or more can find another alternative way to bet on the favourites. An early goal could pave the way to a big success and the team will want to clinch top spot in the group.
