Paraguay may go into the World Cup somewhat underestimated in the World Cup odds despite a good qualifying campaign. They have some very exciting attacking talent in their squad and should score plenty of goals.
Paraguay are still unlikely winners of the World Cup but they are likely to do their fans proud and they look a value price in the World Cup odds if nothing else.
