Costa Rica has a nice chance to advance to the knockout stage, and they would need Brazil to lose against Colombia, and them to beat the upcoming rivals by a high margin. Meanwhile, Paraguay is last for the moment, with no points on its account.

Before Betting on Costa Rica vs. Paraguay

Costa Rica has one point, won against Brazil in the opening round. Though, they didn’t score at the tournament because, after a goalless tie vs. Selecao, they lost to Colombia in the second round pretty confidently, 0-3.

They need luck to reach the quarterfinals, and as we said, they need to see Brazil lose to Colombia by a goal or two (even better) while, on the other hand, they have to smash Paraguay to cover up a minus three-goal difference. It is a challenging task, yet not impossible.

Paraguay didn’t perform well in this Copa America. They’ve shown plenty of vulnerabilities, specifically in the back line, allowing six goals and many chances. Yes, they’ve met two extremely potent attacks, but still, six goals is simply too much.

Albirroja managed to win two of its last ten meetings, which shows they aren’t in particularly great form. Furthermore, their record is poor. Throughout this stretch, their biggest problem was scoring, failing to do so in six appearances.

We haven’t seen these two rivals clashing for the past eight years. The previous meeting was at the 2016 Copa America, and it ended without goals.

The Costa Ricans must be extremely offensive-minded here, which will result in goals. Why? Either they break Paraguay’s poor defense or, on the other hand, leave enough space for the rivals to strike on a counterattack. Whatever happens, we pick over 2.5 hits.
