Yes, and with a style!

Neutral ground in Texas, but I still see the "hosts" as very big favourites. The reasoning is the usual, the class and form are miles ahead at the Colombian camp.

At Colombia there is experience and class in form of Ospina and James Rodrigues, but also the Liverpool winger Luis Diaz will start to blossom any day soon, and when stops missing chances he is probably Golden Boot winner in any competition.

Colombia have won 8 matches in the row, including opponents like Brazil and Spain, and the goal difference in that run is 19-6. In a bigger picture they are unbeaten in 23 games, the latest loss coming away in Argentina in February 2022!

In the head-to-head history the matches have been numerically rather tied, usually Colombia have won by 1 goal exactly.

Paraguay's form is worse, or is it just a reflection of their class? Last time they qualified to World Cup back in 2010, in this tournament they have been 6th and 8th. This time out they are unlikely to qualify from the group.

Scoring goals is a huge ask for Paraguay who have won only three of their last 1 games, and the reason for winning has been that the opponent have been even weaker, like Panama or Nicaragua. In the last 10 games combined Paraguay have four goals in total.

Defensively Paraguyay are not horribly bad, but they will not score. Now the question here is what will Colombia do when they score the first goal. Are they happy with that, or are they looking for more?

The recent history talks in favour of the goal fest!

Team news offer nothing dramatic, the top Paraguyan names Almiron and Enciso are fith, both play in the English Premier League and are worth 20 million euros or so, but not all of the starters are up to this level, and as the Colombian lineup is money-wise worth the double, and the best Paraguyan players are practically wasted this will be a match between super attacking Colombians against mediocre defenders.

I give no chance to Paraguay.

是的，而且很有风格!

德州中立，但我仍然认为“东道主”是非常大的热门。理由很平常，在哥伦比亚营地，班级和形式都遥遥领先。

哥伦比亚队有经验丰富的奥斯皮纳和詹姆斯·罗德里格斯，但利物浦边锋路易斯·迪亚兹很快就会开始绽放，当他不再错失机会时，他可能会在任何比赛中获得金靴。

哥伦比亚队连胜8场，其中包括巴西和西班牙等对手，净胜球为19比6。从更大的角度来看，他们在23场比赛中保持不败，最近一次失利是在2022年2月的阿根廷!

在历史上，这两场比赛在数字上相当接近，通常哥伦比亚队以1球的优势获胜。

巴拉圭的状态更差，或者这只是他们水平的反映?上一次他们进入世界杯是在2010年，在这次比赛中他们分别获得了第6和第8名。这一次，他们不太可能从小组出线。

对于最近1场比赛只赢了3场的巴拉圭来说，进球是一个巨大的要求，而获胜的原因是对手更弱，比如巴拿马或尼加拉瓜。在过去的10场比赛中，巴拉圭总共进了4球。

巴拉圭的防守并不差，但他们不会得分。现在的问题是，当哥伦比亚队打进第一球后，他们会怎么做?他们对此满意吗，还是想要更多?

最近的历史都在谈论进球比赛!

球队新闻没有什么引人注目的，巴拉圭的顶级球员阿尔米隆和恩西索排名第五，他们都在英超踢球，身价在2000万欧元左右，但并不是所有的首发球员都能达到这个水平，而且哥伦比亚的阵容在金钱方面值得翻倍，巴拉圭最好的球员实际上被浪费了，这将是一场超级攻击型哥伦比亚人对阵平庸防守者的比赛。

我不给巴拉圭任何机会。
