Israel vs Paraguay Prediction: Both teams are expected to give their all

At Parc des Princes, Israel will play Paraguay in round 2 of the Olympic Football League. Both teams could not secure a win in their opening game, and here, they will hope for some positivity. How will this encounter end?

Israel

Israel could only take a point in their opening game against Mali. In that game, this team took the lead through Hamidou Diallo’s own goal in the 56th minute of the game, but they could not hold onto it till the end of the game. However, leading into this game, Israel have not won a single of their last 7 games in all Olympic tournaments, with the last time they featured being in 1976 before this year’s. 

Paraguay

Paraguay definitely know they will need to do better if they want to make it out of this group. In their opening match, this team suffered the most humiliating outcome, as they lost 5-0. Within the first 18 minutes of the game, Paraguay conceded their first goal, and a 25th-minute red card received by Wilder Viera made this team lose their momentum as they conceded four games in the second half. With their last Olympic tournament being in 2004, this team will hope they make an impact and give this second game their all, as a defeat could mean disqualification from the tournament. 

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams are expected to come here being focused and go all out for a win. The winning chances of this game are close, and neither team looks good enough based on what we saw from them in the opener. This should end with a close outcome, and I will not back either side to win. A draw at full-time in this fixture is a good option to consider, a game that should end 1-1.
