Australia and Paraguay both enter the final group match knowing a positive result could be enough to extend their FIFA World Cup campaign.

Both teams faced the same opponents in their first two matches.

Paraguay lost 4-1 to the United States before beating Turkey 1-0, while Australia were beaten 2-0 by the USA and responded with a 2-0 victory over Turkey.

The comparison slightly favours Australia.

Paraguay conceded four goals against the Americans, whereas Australia remained competitive for much longer despite losing by two goals.

Recent results outside the tournament also support the Australians.

They earned a draw away to Switzerland and were only narrowly beaten by Mexico, while Paraguay’s recent wins came against Greece and Nicaragua.

A draw would not be surprising given what is at stake, which makes the Draw No Bet market appealing.

Australia have looked slightly stronger against common opponents and only need to edge a match that could otherwise be very evenly contested.
