We said: Paraguay 0-0 Venezuela

Paraguay's case is most certainly a peculiar one, as even though the hosts have scored the fewest goals in CONMEBOL qualifying - a mere two - they have only allowed three at the other end, by far the best defensive record on the continent. Such statistics give rise to another low-scoring affair on Tuesday, one that should reflect just how close the two sides are in the standings; we think this match has 0-0 written all over it.
