2025 WRC Rally del Paraguay betting picks & best odds
The FIA World Rally Championship heads into uncharted territory as Rally del Paraguay makes its WRC debut, kicking off this Thursday and wrapping up on Sunday, August 31.
With just three points separating the top two title contenders and five rounds remaining, this first-ever visit to Paraguay’s red‑gravel stages promises unpredictable action, dramatic twists, and massive betting opportunities.
Situated around Encarnación, near the Argentina border, the event features 19 special stages spanning 333.18 km, mixing smooth, high-speed red gravel with tight, technical sections through dense vegetation.
With the betting markets wide open, Ott Tänak, Kalle Rovanperä, and Sébastien Ogier share early favoritism at +240 apiece with the top sports betting sites. All three enter Rally del Paraguay in striking distance of the championship lead, but this debut event levels the playing field and adds extra uncertainty.
Elfyn Evans still holds a narrow three-point advantage, though opening the roads on Paraguay’s soft, loose gravel could leave him vulnerable — especially if the forecasted rain arrives.
Rovanperä arrives on a high after his dominant Rally Finland win, while Ogier’s part-time campaign has been exceptional with three victories in six starts, keeping his hopes alive for a record-equalling ninth title. Tänak, starting further down the order, could gain a strategic edge if conditions worsen.

Rally del Paraguay betting predictions
Sébastien Ogier to win
Ogier thrives on new rallies, and his adaptability along with Toyota’s dominant gravel setup make him a prime candidate to take victory. With less road-sweeping than Evans and Rovanperä, Ogier offers excellent value for the win at +240 with BetOnline.
Sébastien Ogier to win
Ott Tänak podium finish
After a rough Rally Finland, Tänak benefits from a stronger starting position and Hyundai’s proven speed on soft gravel. The Estonian has historically excelled on fast, flowing stages and tends to perform best when chasing from behind rather than defending from the front. With the unpredictability of a debut event and potential weather impacts, Tänak’s ability to adapt mid-rally makes him a strong podium candidate at -161.29 with BetOnline.
