Group F
Slovakia v Paraguay
Stadium: Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein
Something has to give with Slovakia and Paraguay given the chance to top the group before Italy face New Zealand, because first two games in Group F have ended in 1-1 draws.
That Paraguay detained the champions will give great power to La Albirroja who may consider using Roque Santa Cruz from the beginning.
Vladimír Weiss v Gerardo Martino: Weiss (45) is the youngest coach at the World Cup but was enraged that his side permitted the minnows of New Zealand to take a point.
Now he must give confidence his players against a brilliant Paraguay and their Argentine leader. He inspired his players to make a draw against Italy.
Robert Vittek v Justo Villar: Vittek scored Slovakia's first ever goal at a World Cup finals, against New Zealand, and will be single-minded to help progress on the performance against the All Whites. But to do so he should get past Justo Villar, the most experienced 32 year-old goalkeeper.
They said
Weiss: "The fact that we came so close to winning against New Zealand is extremely encouraging. But we’ll have to do our level best to avoid the same thing from happening again."
Martino: "I don't think we need to win our next two games. Draws might be adequate to progress. However, this does not mean that we’ll be going out to get draws in our next two games."
Teams
Slovakia (4-4-2): Mucha; Durica, Cech, Zabavnik, Skrtel; Weiss, Hamsik, Strba, Jendrisek; Sestak, Vittek
Paraguay (4-1-3-2): Villar; Bonet, Morel, Alcaraz, Da Silva; V Cacares; Torres, Vera, Riveros; Haedo, Valdez, Barrios
Referee: TBC.
