Paraguay vs Australia Predictions
The best betting angle could be backing Paraguay and Australia to both score at least once, especially as odds of +106 are available when it comes to the BTTS Yes selection.
Read on for our full Paraguay vs Australia betting analysis, featuring the reasoning behind our main match prediction, alongside our correct score prediction, player prop picks and bet builder tips.
Paraguay vs Australia Preview
Paraguay face Australia in this FIFA World Cup Group D clash at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium (Levi's Stadium), with kick-off set for 22:00 on Thursday 25 June.
The teams are battling for second place in the group. Australia hold the edge on goal difference, meaning a draw would be enough for the Socceroos to secure second place, while Paraguay must win. However, a heavy defeat for either side could still see them miss out on the knockout stages.
San Francisco Bay Area Stadium is an open-air venue where cloudy skies and a temperature of 21°C (70°F) are expected at kick-off.
Paraguay began the tournament with a 4-1 defeat to the USA before bouncing back with a 1-0 victory over Turkey at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium. La Albirroja managed just 21% possession and two shots on target against the Crescent-Stars, with Matías Galarza scoring the winner shortly after kick-off.
Australia opened their World Cup campaign with a 2-0 win over Turkey before suffering a 2-0 defeat to the USA at Seattle Stadium. Tony Popovic's side found life difficult against the Stars and Stripes, managing just 38% possession and two shots on target.
Australia Have Historical Advantage
The teams have played each other three times, with Australia winning twice and the other meeting ending in a draw. The most recent encounter was a friendly in 2010, which Australia won 1-0.

Australia confirmed lineup (3-4-2-1): Patrick Beach (GK), Alessandro Circati, Harry Souttar, Lucas Herrington, Jordan Bos, Jackson Irvine, Aiden O'Neill, Aziz Behich, Cristian Volpato, Connor Metcalfe, Nestory Irankunda.
Main Match Prediction
We like the odds of +106 when it comes to the BTTS Yes selection. The teams should be able to net at least once in this Group D showdown and the Both Teams to Score market provides a good angle.
The betting sites expect a cagey affair, with the draw priced very short. That creates value elsewhere and we're backing BTTS as Paraguay should be forced to chase the win.
Key stats supporting our main match prediction (competitive matches):
It's important to understand the players who are unavailable for the upcoming World Cup action and the respective form of each team. If you want stats, you have come to the right place and they form the basis of our football predictions.
The latest odds at the best betting sites suggest our pick carries a 48.5% chance of winning. However, we think that the probability sits between 55-60% taking all factors into consideration. That means we’re regarding it as a value bet.
There’s an opportunity to go for a slightly different bet at similar odds. Over 2.5 Goals means you can land a return if three goals are scored and you don’t need both teams to score.
