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

BTTS - will both teams score?

Typ BTTS: no. 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. The match profile indicates a greater chance of one side controlling and a limited volume of opportunities for the opponent, so a clean sheet for one team is more likely. The model gives 39% on BTTS Yes and 61% on BTTS No, with xG Paraguay 0.60 and France 1.55. Status: BET

Over/Under - goals analysis

Typ: under 2.5. 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. The model gives 36% on Over 2.5 and 64% on Under 2.5. xG: Paraguay 0.60, France 1.55, total 2.15. Most likely result: 0:1. Line 2.5 is the most sensitive to the goal of the weaker side: 2:0 leaves the under, but 2:1 immediately moves the match to the over. Therefore, the rating depends on whether the underdog has a credible path to the goal. Status: BET
