General match analysis

Typ 1X2 after 90 minutes: 2. Paraguay has already shown that he can survive a long match against a big name, so we don't expect an easy start for France. The difference is that France has more players who can break the low block without having to completely dominate. Paraguay will want to repeat the patience scenario, but the longer he defends low, the greater the pressure on his own penalty area. France has a quality edge, but a controlled low score is most likely. Our prediction: 14% for Paraguay, 25% for draw and 61% for France. Most likely exact score: 0:1. Promotion after the whole match: France (24% vs 76%). Status: BET

Paraguay will want to repeat the patience scenario, but the longer he defends low, the greater the pressure on his own penalty area.
