Paraguay footballer — Paraguay could cause a stir in Asuncion tonight

"Eduardo Berizzo's men have scored in 4/5 home qualifiers"

Back Both Teams To Score @ 2.305/4 in Paraguay v Argentina

Tobias Gourlay doesn't think Argentina will have everything their own way in Paraguay tonight

Paraguay v Argentina
Friday 00:00 (Live on Premier Sports 2)

In Brazil last night, there was a banging result for Fluminense but not the full-blown banger we wanted. The hosts beat Fortaleza 2-0 to leave their visitors and us empty handed.

We're staying in South America today to dip into the latest round of World Cup qualifiers. Paraguay host neighbours Argentina at midnight UK time and we fancy the home side can at least draw blood from their much bigger visitors.

Paraguay are W1-D3-L1 on home turf in the current qualifying campaign. They've conceded in all five matches but Eduardo Berizzo's men have scored themselves in 4/5, which means backing both teams to score has been the right bet in 4/5.

Argentina are unbeaten so far (W5-D3-L0) but they have not been watertight away from home (W3-D1-L0). Lionel Scaloni's men have conceded in 3/4 of those matches so we'll take the odds-against price on both teams scoring again tonight.
