Paraguay – Can Paraguay get back on track?
Paraguay have had to endure a pretty barren spell in recent times as the hosts have managed to record just 2 wins from their last 13 matches overall in all competitions, as well as losing 10 of these 13 matches, so confidence isn’t likely to be high for this encounter.
Paraguay’s World Cup qualification in the South American section wasn’t a resounding success either as they finished in 7th place in the 10-team CONMEBOL group but finished just 2 points adrift of Peru who made the Intercontinental play-off spot.
On home turf, Paraguay have registered home wins against Chile and Ecuador but these were back in September 2016 and March 2017 respectively, and they’ve played their last 5 friendlies all away from home which have ended in four defeats and one draw.
Losses at United States, Japan, Peru and Mexico along with managing just a draw at South Africa has seen Paraguay perhaps enter their lowest point in their recent footballing history, and this next clash with Honduras certainly isn’t guaranteed to be a success either.
Honduras Prediction – Can Honduras extend Paraguay’s winless run?
Honduras’s recent results have only been marginally better as they’ve registered just 1 win out of their last 8 matches overall in all competitions which was a 1-0 home win over Panama in an international friendly, but defeats to Australia, South Korea, El Salvador and a 4-1 loss to Chile will have done very little to enhance their confidence either.
Honduras finished up their World Cup qualification in the CONCACAF section in 4th place out of 6-team group and grabbed the Intercontinental play-off spot, but their results overall away from home have also been underwhelming as they’ve now gone 5 matches without a win on their travels and indeed, have managed just 1 win out of their last 12 matches on the road.
That win came in the shape of a 2-1 win at Trinidad & Tobago but like their opponents, Paraguay, their success has also been very thin on the ground in recent times.
That said, Honduras have played just once in Paraguay before and they grabbed a 2-2 draw back in June 2015, some four years ago, but this is expected to be another tight encounter between two very out of form nations.
Key-Facts – Paraguay v Honduras
- Paraguay have won just 2 of their last 13 matches in all competitions
- Paraguay have lost 10 of these last 13 matches, and have lost 4 of their last 5
- Honduras grabbed a 2-2 draw in their last visit to Paraguay back in June 2015
Betting Tips Verdict
These two sides are woefully out of form and it should therefore be a tight match – the value is with the handicap on Honduras here.
