Brazil currently is in great position for a berth in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, as it has won each of its first five South America Qualifier matches and sits atop the standings with 15 points. Since only the top four are assured spots in Qatar next year, Paraguay is in a battle for fourth place at the moment, tied with two other squads at seven points. With only one victory in its first five games, Paraguay attempts to improve its position when it hosts Brazil in a 2022 FIFA World Cup South America Qualifier match on Tuesday. Should you expect Brazil to maintain its perfect record, or is there value in Paraguay to prevail and bring a return on the money line?

The latest 2022 FIFA World Cup South America Qualifier odds from WIlliam Hill Sportsbook list Brazil at -187 (risk $187 to win $100) against Paraguay. Other CONMEBOL South America Qualifier lines have Ecuador at -250 against Peru, Uruguay at -120 versus Venezuela, Argentina at +163 against Colombia and Chile at -400 versus Bolivia.

Top FIFA World Cup South America Qualifiers predictions

Fornelli likes Brazil at -187 on the money line against Paraguay. The Brazilians should have no trouble getting on the scoreboard, as they rank first in the competition with 14 goals in five contests. Neymar has played in only three of Brazil's five round-robin games but is among the scoring leaders with four goals and three assists, putting him in a tie for second and first, respectively. Five other members of the team have scored thus far, with Richarlison and Roberto Firmino netting three apiece.

Brazil also has been the top defensive team through five matches, allowing a total of two goals. Both of the goals came in a 4-2 victory over Peru, as the squad has posted four clean sheets and three in a row. Meanwhile, Paraguay has produced only six goals, with Angel Romero accounting for four, and has yet to record more than two in a match.
