Venezuela have already qualified for the quarter finals and they will be looking for the draw in this game. I expect them to play rather defensively. They are free from injuries and suspensions.
Paraguay, with only two points this far, will of course go for the win. Santa Cruz scored against Brazil, but he also missed an absolute sitter. Anyway the Blackburn striker is looking strong again after a lengthy lean spell. Paraguay won both their qualifying games against Venezuela in the World Cup 2010 qualifying group, but Venezuela are an improved outfit and they should not be underestimated.
Maybe Paraguay have been made too big favourites in this fixture.
