Team Analysis
Paraguay has evidenced a string of underwhelming performances in recent times, with a disappointing 2-1 loss against Colombia marking their start to the Group D campaign in Copa America. Despite a second-half goal by Julio Enciso which provided a glimmer of hope, the South-American team failed to make a comeback, much to the chagrin of manager Daniel Garnero. A weak form is echoed in their record, with only two victories seen in their last 10 matches and having drawn a blank in seven of those fixtures.

Brazil, traditionally one of the heavyweights in world and continental football, commenced their Copa America journey with an unimpressive 0-0 draw against Costa Rica. Despite possessing a formidable and largely unbothered defense, their attack seemed impotent, squandering numerous scoring opportunities. Manager Dorival Junior will likely be banking on the team’s usually sturdy defense while seeking to bolster their striking capabilities.

Head-to-Head
In head-to-head confrontations, Brazil holds substantial dominance with a 9-5 lead and three draws from previous 17 showdowns with Paraguay. Their encounter in the 2022 CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier match saw Brazil delivering a compelling 4-0 triumph.

Odds Analysis
Given the historical performance and recent form of the teams, the odds are overwhelmingly stacked in favor of Brazil. Players to watch in the upcoming match are certainly Endrick, who might receive his first starting appearance for Brazil and has racked up three goals in his last five games. Another point to be noted is Brazil's strong defensive duo – Marquinhos and Eder Militao. The solidity they exhibited in the opening fixture hints at another probable clean sheet in the upcoming match. Consequently, the forecast favors Brazil securing an assertive victory in their next clash with Paraguay.

Pick: Brazil win to nil
