Costa Rica - Panama

Home match and against a weaker opponent, with a high coefficient, leave little choice but for America to defeat Peru. Finally, America, with many solid players from top clubs, has something to prove in the World Cup. Paraguay had a very low scoring qualification with 14 goals scored and 10 conceded in 18 matches, so it will be very difficult for them to play against America. America already beat Paraguay at home in a friendly last year, and they should also have control over the match as the home team, and must win.

The United States national team, who attack very strongly, consistently scores goals and two goals is a very common score for this team. The World Cup started quite productively and two goals is not a high number of goals. In November, during a friendly match at home, the USA scored two goals against Paraguay, so it seems very convincing for this game as well. The home team dominates and controls the match especially against weaker teams, so this option looks very promising.

I believe we can expect a highly productive match. The USA team has even had a streak of 14 consecutive games where they have scored 2 or more goals, and this series includes a friendly match against Paraguay. The USA team promotes fast and goal-heavy football and consistently scores a lot of goals while also conceding them. Paraguay is also very strong in attack and has managed to score at least 1 goal in their last 5 games, so I strongly believe we will see at least 2 goals in this match.

The main Paraguayan defender. Despite playing solidly in the EPL this season, Sunderland's defender is known for his hot temper and also plays aggressively and physically for the Ghana national team, which is a common practice for South American teams. Paraguay overall is a defensive team, and with the loss of one of their key players in the attack, Enciso, they will be forced to focus even more on defense.

Every night is a good bet on the US being kicked out. The home team, with a great support and strong defense, will face the frequent attacks of the US from the sidelines, leaving the visitors with no choice but to hit the OUTs. The 3-4-2-1 lineup shows that the US will try to dominate through the wings.

It will be difficult to defend against the full arena of 70,000 people supporting the United States in Paraguay. Pulisic, Balogun, Tillman, and Draskys will attack quickly, and knowing how strong the guests' defense is, I believe they will definitely take two cards.
The referee is reliable and elite, Danny Makkelie. Although he allows the game to be physical, when there is a harder foul or a dangerous moment, he will have no trouble taking out his pocket card.

Every night there is a good game on the US corner. The home team, playing solid defense, receives a lot of support and stands firmly. The US will often attack through the flanks, leaving the visitors with no choice but to defend. The lineup of 3-4-2-1 suggests that the US' Dest and Robinson will try to dominate through the wings.

Paraguay is associated with zero-level and anti-football, but today it will be too difficult to withstand the pressure of the Americans. Pochettino should have prepared for this match without complaining, with an attacking lineup, and the fans will support - the opponent is said to be the weakest in the group - it is necessary to win.
