Prediction: Paraguay 1-0 Australia
Our prediction is that Paraguay is going to win the match in their 2nd game against Australia in Copa America 2020. Paraguay is another good team that is participating in the long run of Copa America. They have a few good players in their team, and surely they are going to help the team in order to achieve the ultimate goal which the Copa America 2020. In their offense, they have Hernan Perez, Antonio Sanabria, Federico Santander; this trio is going to help the team to win the game along with other matches too. In defense, they have Fabian Balbuena, Bruno Valdez, Gustavo Gomez, and midfield is also strong too.
On the other hand, Australia is also a good team and that is why they have been invited to play this edition of Copa America after Qatar. This is the second involvement of Qatar, having previously played in the 2019 edition, and this is the competition debut for Australia to take part in Copa America. In Addition, Australia is also the winner of the Asia Cup in 2015. They have themselves a pretty good that fight against any team in the Copa.
In my opinion, both teams are good and have the probability to win the match but in my opinion, Paraguay is going to win the match against Australia by 1-0.
