ARG vs PAR Dream11 Prediction: Argentina will host Paraguay on Thursday night in their next FIFA World Cup qualifier. Argentina made hard work of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup and only just about scraped in but they started this campaign off with two hard-fought wins over Ecuador and Bolivia last month and will look to kick on starting with this fixture against Paraguay. Argentina have only come out on top in this fixture once in the last five meetings between the two though, and the visitors have made a fairly positive start to qualifying themselves, with four points attained so far from their two matches. They have a knack of keeping things tight and organised in defence, as shown by the fact they have kept clean sheets in three of their last four games, and with Argentina – despite their two wins – yet to really click in the attacking areas. Let’s take a look at ARG vs PAR Dream11 Team prediction now.
