Double chance : draw or Australia

Paraguay and Australia meet in the World Cup with both teams coming into the match in poor form. Paraguay has lost two of their last five games, including a heavy 4-1 defeat, though they did manage a narrow 1-0 win in their most recent outing. Australia, on the other hand, has lost four of their last five matches, scoring only once in that stretch, and have failed to win any of their last three. Neither side is in good shape right now, but Australia’s slide has been steeper.

These two teams have not faced each other recently, so there’s no history of high-scoring meetings between them. Based on recent results, this match looks very close and could go either way, but Australia’s defense has been slightly more sturdy. The game is likely to be a tight, low-scoring affair, and a draw seems the most probable outcome.
