Amanda Gutierres and Duda Sampaio scored either side of Claudia Ovando to complete the rout.

Gabriela Garcia and Joemar Guarecuco scored before the break to make it 3-1 at halftime. Malenie Chirinos and Raiderline Carrasco scored a goal each in the second half, while Oriana Altuve scored a brace.

Paraguay Women vs Venezuela Women Prediction
Paraguay cannot make it out of the group stage into the knockout rounds as they are four points off second-placed Colombia. They can only aim to make it to the fifth-placed playoffs but have lost their last two games, conceding four goals on each occasion.
Venezuela have a slim shot at making it to the knockout rounds. They are three points off Colombia, but their vastly inferior goal difference means they not only have to win but win convincingly while hoping that Brazil do them a huge favor.
We are backing Venezuela to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
