Ukraine vs Paraguay prediction

This is the nightmare scenario for both Panama and South Korea. Having both picked up just one point in Group B, compared to the four gained by both Ukraine and Paraguay, it’s left the latter two both needing just a point to reach the knockout stage. With Ukraine and Paraguay facing each other, that means neither will want to take any unnecessary risks, knowing that a draw would be enough to send both through. 

These factors should lead to an extremely cagey encounter with Ukraine and Paraguay prioritising defence, bodies behind the ball when out of possession and not being hit on the counter-attack. The longer this game goes on, the more likely it peters out with both nations happy to sit back and take a draw, so backing this outcome has to be favoured.

Ukraine vs Paraguay tip: Draw
