🚨 ❌ LECKIE CONFIRMED OUT (Racing Post: "hamstring strain RULED HIM OUT") · ❌ ALMIRON SUSPENDED · VOLPATO STARTS · IRANKUNDA CONFIRMED STARTS · PITTA + ENCISO LEAD PARAGUAY WITHOUT ALMIRON
Racing Post confirmed Leckie OUT — Volpato starts. Irankunda confirmed starts per Racing Post: "Popovic regretted dropping Irankunda vs USA — expect him to start." Covers explicit: "Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Nestory Irankunda can create chances in a flash — I'm jumping on these odds."
📊 Context — Cagey Board, Two Defined Picks
O/U set at just 1.5 — the market says this is low-scoring. All scorer prices are +320 or higher. But Paraguay have scored in 6 straight and the confirmed picks are clear: Pitta +320 (SportsGambler primary, confirmed ST) and Irankunda +360 (Covers explicit, confirmed starts, scored vs Turkey). Leckie is OUT — Volpato starts at +475 and offers value given the inflated Leckie-exit price.
