Chile vs Paraguay Prediction: Not Waiting Much from the Teams

Prediction for the Chile vs Paraguay friendly fixture, which will take place on March 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Chilean team is experiencing hard times. In the last decade, they had great results when the main stars of the national team were Claudio Bravo, Arturo Vidal, and Alexis Sanchez. They still regularly join the national team, but the players are inevitably aging. It is difficult to carry the entire team on their shoulders, and there are few new stars in the country. So the Chileans missed the last two World Cups. They failed to qualify for the World Cup 2022, ending up seventh in their qualifying group.

The Paraguayan team had their best years even earlier. Twenty years ago, they made it to the world championships three times in a row, and in 2010 they even reached the quarterfinals of the World Cup. This success would bring the team to a new level. But the results only went down, so they skipped past the last three World Cups. Paraguay looked poor in qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar and finished eighth in the group, ahead of Venezuela and Bolivia. At the end of 2022, they had two friendlies against Peru and Colombia, losing both 0:1 and 0:2.

The Chilean and Paraguayan teams are facing difficulties. While no sign of the situation changing, we still consider the hosts the favorites. They have great players who can decide the game's outcome, while Paraguay lacks some. Moreover, the H2H statistics also speak in favor of the Chileans, as they won 2:0 and 1:0 in the World Cup 2022 qualifiers. 

There is no reason to expect lots of goals. The national teams continue to rebuild, which is challenging to balance with a perfect game. Moreover, the rivals' H2H matches for a long time weren't productive - five goals in the last three meetings (1.67 average).
