We’re backing the Aussies to get the job done against Paraguay, and bounce back from a loss to USA.

The tactical changes didn’t work out for Australia when losing 2-0 to the Americans, but that was always going to be a tough game on their home soil. Beating Paraguay has a much better chance, and the odds are generous.

Despite only needing a draw to advance, neither team can take this game lightly. Australia’s win over Türkiye in their opening game is a good form guide, and although Paraguay also beat them, it was only a 1-0 win.

We don’t think Paraguay deserves to be $2.87 favourites to win this game. They haven’t been overly impressive, and they lost to USA 4-1. Therefore, Australia deserves some respect, and they have looked better so far.

The $4 odds are generous in what should be a close contest.

Australia’s hopes primarily sit with Mohamed Toure and Nestroy Irankunda having a big game, and we’re backing them in.

Toure has yet to provide a goal or an assist during the World Cup, but it’s only a matter of time. The $3.10 odds are generous enough to include in World Cup SGM picks. Irankunda scored a goal against Türkiye, and he could get a shot on target. The odds of $1.67 are generous, so include him to boost payouts.

It should be a low scoring game, and the under has been well-backed. We’re happy to include it in our football picks this week.

Value Bet

One goal could be all it takes to win the game, and we have Australia getting on the board before halftime and holding off a late charge from Paraguay.

Australia 1-0 has been well-backed to win 1-0, and it’s worth including as a value bet.
