Matchday 13 of the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers will get underway with Paraguay playing host to Chile at Estadio Defensores del Chaco on Thursday night. La Albirroja are in sixth place in the standings, while La Roja are ninth after 12 games. Let’s get into the match prediction!

Paraguay endured a very poor start to their World Cup qualification campaign, failing to win any of their first three matches, losing to Argentina and Venezuela after drawing against Peru in their opening game. 

Since then, though, La Albirroja have been much better, securing four wins and four draws in their next nine games, with the exception being a 1-0 loss to Colombia in November last year. 

The hosts have done their best work at home in this competition, winning four of their last five on home soil, while maintaining clean sheets in three of their six such matches to date. 

In contrast, after picking up four points in their first three games, Chile have experienced a major downturn in form now on just nine points with a record of two wins, three draws and seven defeats. 

La Roja went winless between mid-October 2023 and mid-November 2024 in this competition, losing six and drawing two games, while failing to score in six matches during that period. 

The visitors have been dismal on the road in this competition, failing to win any of their six outings (W0 D1 L5). They have also failed to find the net in their last five away matches.
