Paraguay’s recent home form has been far from impressive, having lost four of their last five high-level home matches. Adding to their concerns, Brazil, a team chasing the World Championship 2026 title, has enjoyed a series of wins against Paraguay in previous encounters.
For those hoping for a goal-filled match, Paraguay might not be the best choice, as 18 of their last 21 home games at this level have featured two or fewer goals. Brazil’s away games in this tournament have followed a similar pattern, with 15 of their last 21 matches also producing under 2.5 goals.
In their last 14 top-tier matches, Paraguay has only seen both teams score in three games, and Brazil has had a similar trend, with both sides finding the net in just one of their last seven games. Therefore, it’s likely that at least one goalkeeper will keep a clean sheet in this matchup.
Paraguay remains in contention for the World Championship 2025 title, bolstered by seven wins in their last 10 away games this season. Brazil, on the other hand, has struggled a bit on home soil recently, with four losses in their last eight matches, including a defeat in their most recent game.
Prediction: Paraguay 0-1 Brazil
