This is one of those matches that are going to be tough to predict as both teams could surprise and both teams are not playing at the level where we are going to see consistent performances week in week out.
However, we do have an opinion and it is a straightforward one too. Paraguay drew with Italy in their first match and SLovakia drew with New Zealand - who do you think had the tougher match?
You agree with us, so you must also agree with our prediction. Listed below is the table and the best odds available from a range of bookmakers that is always changing, all possible outcomes.
Prediction
We have to predict Paraguay for this. The South American sides are doing well and we just think that they will continue to do well - maybe it is a Southern Hemisphere thing - we don't know, but they do look better.
If you have some spare change - put it on Paraguay.
Opposition View
Slovakia midfielder, Vladimir Weiss
There was a lot of stress in that first game and some criticism back home after the result. But we are here to enjoy ourselves and with a little bit of luck we can do something against Paraguay.
Paraguay midfielder Cristian Riveros
There is no time to speculate on games. We have to try to go in search of the game, as a victory for us would be putting us very nearly on the other side. We are with that mentality and let's hope things will happen for us to be able to pick up the three points.
