TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Colombia are looking in supreme form at the moment, with 4 wins from 5 in recent qualifying they are motoring. With an abundance of talent in all areas and in particular a spectacular attacking line up Los Cafeteros are a serious team with real ambition of going places. With Falcao the spearhead Colombia have amazing backup in Tefilio Gutierrez and Jackson Martinez. The defence is solid and midfield combines industry with creativity and they seem to have the perfect blend. In coach Jose Pekerman they have a proactive coach who can change the systems midgame, the players are ultra adaptive and this team are a real force now.
Paraguay are in the doldrums at the moment with a competitive win since November of last year. The team remains the same but their tight, containing tactics have failed them in recent times. The team usually defend well and are capable on the counter but even the defensive solidity has deserted them. With a full squad to choose from they must pick up points straight away and at this point only wins will do.

1X2 BETTING PREDICTION

1.57 Colombia (Willhill) is the selection in this difficult match. This would normally be a tight game and picking the winner a tough task. However Colombia are playing superbly at the moment and as a unit have frightening potential. In Falcao they have the best striker in world football but the quality within the team means he has top level support all around him. Paraguay are in a rut and cannot seem to put in a shift. A shambles in all departments they cannot hope to contain Colombia in Bogota.

ASIAN HANDICAP PREDICTION

Colombia is the pick here -1 at 1.97 (188bet) Colombia have the quality to win with ease here. All 5 of Paraguay's losses have come by more than a goal. The Paraguayans seem in dissarray here and will be expected to wilt under the onslaught of the on form Colombians. The -1 handicap gives us money back if the winning margin is 1 for Colombia but they should win with ease here.

TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Over 2.50 2.16 (Pinnacle) is the bet here. Colombia's attacking talents and Paraguays defensive woes combine to push me towards over goals here. Usually this section has tight games with Paraguay usually rock like at the back, however there is a shift now and the games are more open and attacking. Colombia may have to cover this spread themselves as Paraguay are not looking good going forward. They have the ability to do this now with a rota of quality forwards all vying for the starting position alongside the lethal Falcao.
