Uruguay vs Paraguay who will win 2023 World Cup

Uruguay and Paraguay are set to face off in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Thursday, with both teams hoping to secure a spot in the tournament. Uruguay have had a mixed start to their campaign, alternating between victory and defeat in their opening four matches. Meanwhile, Paraguay have been undefeated in the South American qualifiers, but have failed to qualify for the last two World Cups.

Uruguay are without the suspended Edinson Cavani, which means Luis Suarez is set to start in attack alongside Jonathan Rodriguez. Paraguay will be without striker Antonio Sanabria, with either Carlos Gonzalez Espinola or Gabriel Avalos set to start as the lone striker. Oscar Romero could start in the number 10 role, in front of Richard Sanchez and Gaston Gimenez.

Sports Mole's analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats up until an hour before kickoff, suggested the most likely outcome of this match was a Uruguay win with a probability of 50.04%. The most likely scoreline for a Uruguay win was 1-0 with a probability of 10.85%.

With a new manager in the dugout, Uruguay could finally return to top form and could snatch a win this Thursday. Our prediction is Uruguay 1-0 Paraguay.
