Today Brazil face Peru and at halftime I can already see Brazil leading by one goal. After a great performance before half time, Brazil will definitely have the chance to score more goals if they can attack strongly after half time. Brazil have 75% of the ball possession, also the attack rate is high but if Peru can come out of the half and make a strong attack, it is possible to tie the game. Although the goal was a penalty, the Brazilian team must be tougher, stronger and more excited to win this match. As they have already qualified in the points table, it will be better for Brazil if they win this match today.

Well, boys, I've gone and done it. Everything was pointing to the favourites winning or at worst, drawing, but I'm going to stick with the tiny voice of unreason from yesterday and stick a bit on Bolivia. This was, I lose only a little more than I already have -- but if I win, I cover some nasty losses.

That also leaves me with just one game to keep an eye on, if I happen to be up!

I agree with all the bets, but I wouldn't bet on Brazil winning. I would go for another market in the same game, but not on Brazil winning. They haven't convinced yet, and in the last game they were under a lot of pressure to score.

I've also lost a few bets in the last few rounds 
I'm not very confident about Uruguay, but I'm going to try to bet on Brazil, Argentina and Colombia winning, I believe that all 3 teams will win again

In this bet I can recover the money I lost, but if one of them loses or draws, I'll be at a loss in these last few rounds hehehe

I think Venezuela will beat Paraguay today and Uruguay will draw against Ecuador

Exactly, while the players are European level, the coach is Brazilian level. This will never work, the tactics of the strongest teams will be as refined as the tactics of the championships here. With a coach like that, we will always be one step behind.

Making a multibet bet placing Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Colombia to win would give odds of @3.00, but honestly I wonder if it will be an easy game for these 4 teams. Because looking at each of the 4 teams, they don't give me much confidence when I see these low odds. In the last game, Colombia lost against Bolivia, which is playing very well and has not lost in 3 games. Colombia has not managed to score at least 1 goal and strangely Bolivia, which is playing well, will play against Argentina, which in the last 2 games has not managed to win but they are putting odds of @1.06 in favor of Argentina as if Bolivia were a very weak team, and it is true that when you look at the history of clashes involving these two teams:

There is a very discouraging scenario for Bolivia. But these odds of @1.06 in favor of Argentina may be very low, maybe Bolivia can get a draw. I would only put Argentina in my multi bet if I had to choose the "Double Chance Argentina or Draw" market if it had odds of at least @1.20, in the case of Brazil, they also have a very good history when playing against Chile, but this current Brazil does not inspire much confidence in me, even though Chile is doing very badly at the moment, they could still get a draw, so these odds of @1.23 in case Brazil wins. Regarding Uruguay, I would not put them in my bet either. Honestly, I see Uruguay with a greater chance of drawing.

Tomorrow, Argentina will take on Bolivia in a CONMEBOL 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on their home soil. Argentina are already top of the South American World Cup qualifying standings with six wins from nine matches. Argentina's opponents Bolivia, on the other hand, have won just four out of nine matches but their performances in their last five matches have been impressive. After observing Argentina's performance in the last five matches, everyone might predict that this match is going to be tough for Argentina against Bolivia.

Argentina's performance in the last few matches seems very poor. Argentina last drew 1-1 against Venezuela but many soccer fans picked Argentina as the favorite in that match. However, in the match between Argentina and Bolivia, I don't want to put Argentina as a favorite because of their current lack of performance.

It looks like some of the top team are predicted to win, I just hope that the same thing as in the previous match does not happen which makes some of the top team suffer bad results.
- Colombia
- Uruguay
- Argentina
- Brazil
These four team are favorites in today match and I think making them choice in betting is good thing if the game can really go well and there are no surprises in each match later.
But one match for Paraguay vs Venezuela is the most difficult to predict because they are on par and always appear unstable, but it is possible that this match will end in draw, below are the odds given by the bookies and show the numbers for the top team are relatively very thin.

Tempted to go on final round of games for a recovery, but I don't want to tell you guys just how much I actually lost, mainly on Nations League but I can probably blame Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina mainly heh.

A tempting acca are all these 3 on a big ticket. Would definitely ease my loss -- but also compound it badly if they don't win. But now that you mention a Bolivia upset? 17/1 I think I just might take it...

I need to recover my lost bets too, I think the next round will not have many surprises like past one
I think Brazil, Colombia and Argentina will win their matches, I don't know about Venezuela and Uruguay yet


I need to confess that I'm rooting for Bolivia in this match 
Can you imagine a win against Argentina?

But it's almost impossible, Argentina will play at home after a draw. They will probably win with a lot of goals in front of their fans

The Brazilian national team has never lacked quality players. Indeed, they have a lot of ammunition, for virtually all of the players that get the call-up to the national team, ply their trade in the top leagues of Europe. So, Dorival's reason for persisting with the same team in every match might not be because he has no alternative, but to build some chemistry and cohesion among the players. It is important because that has actually been the main problem for Brazil these last few weeks; there has not been any harmony on that field. While continuing to use the same players in the squad to improve the relationship between players, it seems that the chemistry that is expected has not perfectly been built. The biggest challenge is how to make all the players work as a solid unit on the field. However, Brazil has the time and great potential to improve this because they always have extraordinary player material.

If Peru goes all out against Brazil, I'm sure they'll win. Just look at what their other opponents have done and mix it into their team's strategy and they'll be able to do something. The national team is not doing well and is suffering, any team can beat them now.

Looking at the next matchday to have some light of recovery (bets), if I have breakeven with this next matchday of Conmebol it would be good for me

I think that Peru has the "bad luck" of perhaps facing Brazil, who is not doing well, and having as a reference a tie with Venezuela in their territory, this is important because it is a rarity, and it tells us how bad Brazil is doing, I think that in this match is the money of my recovery, we must remember that in their first match and with a lackluster Peru, Brazil beat them at home by just one goal.

I will enjoy the other games as a football fan, since they are a 33, that is 33(1),34(x),33(2) they are not even a coinflip.

Watch out for Argentina-Bolivia, the team from the highlands is the most inspired at the moment, with 3 consecutive victories against Colombia, Chile and Venezuela... so, as my doctor says, "reserved prognosis", or maybe as ever are in Conmebol, let's see a feast of goals, and the analysis goes with the villain of variance.

The reality is that the 6th position is not certain and the 7th even less so, but we can already have more light on who will be fighting with real possibilities.

+1

Yes, Brazil has a bad team right now. The coach has to make some adjustments yet on the main squad. There so many options of players available that I don't understand why Dorival insists on the same players game after game. Current players don't have any chemistry in field, and that is why they fail concluding successful plays. Maybe Brazilian national team needs to add another players from Botafogo to raise performance. Goalkeeper John and midfielder Gregore and Marlon Freitas are some suggestions.

For those who wanted excitement in CONMEBOL qualifiers, it couldn't have been better after this last round of matches 

After the Copa America it seems that some things have changed, but we still need some more time to be sure
For the championship as a whole, it was good that Peru and Bolivia finally managed to win, which will make it more competitive, even with the 6 teams qualifying directly

In Brazil we have Corinthians who are exactly what you said, who achieve many victories and qualifications in the last minutes of the game, when no one else believes...

This draw still makes Argentina top the standings with 19 points and below them is Colombia who has 16 points, but if Colombia wins the match against Bolivia then they can match Argentina with the same 19 points and unfortunately both ended their respective matches with bad results.
For the match between Argentina and Venezuela, it looks like the Argentine players are having difficulty playing well, on the other hand they are also in less than optimal condition because there are several players who have to be absent from the match due to suspension and injury.
Weather did affect the course of the match but there was delay for some time until the conditions really improved, I did not see any problems in the condition of the field which at some points looked flooded because I admit Venezuela game in terms of defense is very good, they can withstand every attack from the Argentine players and this is why the draw occurred.

I'm officially staying off the current crop of games. Peru not going down easy was probably not my expectation, but I should have seen them smacking Uruguay away after the Bielsa rumours swirling around (Not something I'd expected from Suarez, though I rather agree it's not a good atmosphere, while actually still backing the coach).


Pity the games are just an hour or two beyond me able to watch them. Might have not bet if I could actually see the teams playing.

[/quote] P.S. Damn, totally forgot about this thread rdluffy and guys. Was looking at the spamfest that's the WC qualification thread and then remembered there was something for you LatAm guys.

That's the thing about Conmebol, there's a lot of variance, when teams seem headed for victory, they lose, you have Bolivia, they were there, the experts had practically decided it to Bolivia out, then Peru against Uruguay (I lost money here, just like with Argentina) wins... against a rival that, although it's true that they're not at their best, they are superior.

In fact, now everyone mathematically still has a chance, and that happens because out of 10 teams, 7 go through (6 direct + 1).


OH! Brazil, there is Brazil, they were losing 1-0... they did what they know how to do, and what we like Brazil to do... there is no national team in the whole world, mind you, in the whole world, in which one waits until the last minute for them to come back in a match, no national team manages to do it as efficiently as Brazil.

^{ehh! sorry Chile}

Indeed Argentina not performed well when being draw from Venezuela but their position keep secure on the first standings place behind three points remaining from Colombia. Have one match left for this month match qualifier and Argentina will face Bolivia with bigger opportunity get easily securing three points keep defend on the top place awhile. Playing on home match, Argentina get more motivate for securing three points to make easily get qualify to FIFA World Cup 2026 as the first standings position finish teams.

The victory over Chile make Brazil recently moving up to 4th standings position and their points keep closing with Uruguay after losing last match or get opportunity move to 2nd place if Colombia loss on upcoming match against Chile. For upcoming match, Brazil will face Peru and seems not difficult with three points achievement to reach the top third standings place or get opportunity moving to runner up position before playing on next month match qualifying.

Peru won the Match against Uruguay with 1-0 goal which is surprising cause after playing eight games, this is first time peru have won a single Match against their opponent team and until that, Peru, was at the bottom of the qualifying table with 6 point and chile is currently on the bottom. Well it is unfortunate for Uruguay inspite of a strong team. They are doing well in this CONMEBOL 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches, currently they are in 3rd position of the qualifying table where they won four matches already out of nine. Against peru team, Uruguay was dominating while start the match but gradually they were slow down. And same thing also happened in 2nd half too. Peru did many fouls but Uruguay kept trying well even their performance, passing accuracy were good enough. Many people expected from Uruguay to score a goal even in last minutes but Maximiliano Araujo scored a goal at 88" minutes behalf of peru. He was the game changer and we saw the  unexpected lost of Uruguay
