Paraguay vs Mali Team Overview
Paraguay
Paraguay showed significant quality and fighting quality last time out when they emerged winners from an absorbing and thrilling 4-2 clash against Israel last Saturday. The win was much needed to get their Olympic tournament back on track after they were hammered 5-0 by Japan in their opening clash in Group D.
Marcelo Fernandez and Julio Enciso were at hand to give Paraguay leads, first 1-0 and second to pull 2-1. The fact that they were pegged back every time they took the lead highlights why football predictions on 22Bet indicate a vulnerability in their defensive setup.
The win gave them some momentum as they moved up to second in Group D, two points ahead of their opponents Mali and Israel. However, this also means that all teams in Group D have a chance of making it to the last eight ahead of the final round of group matches.
