Paraguay vs Brazil Preview
Paraguay
Gustavo Alfaro’s tenure with Paraguay started in a solid fashion. Against Uruguay, they managed to clinch a 0-0 draw, stifling Luis Suarez’s 143rd and final appearance for the national team. While Paraguay didn’t push forward aggressively, they stood well in the defence and eventually grabbed a much-needed point.

Paraguay currently occupy the seventh place in the standings with six points. In seven matches, Gustavo Alfaro’s men have only achieved a single victory, suffered three losses, and have a concerning 1-3 goal difference. However, they remain only two points away from sixth place, leaving room for optimism.
Paraguay’s primary goal is to qualify for the 2026 World Cup for the first time since 2010. Doing so won’t be easy, as they will need to improve significantly in attack to boost their chances.
Brazil
Before the match against Ecuador, Dorival Junior’s team had a 4-match winless streak in the World Cup qualifiers, with three losses against Uruguay (0-2), Colombia (1-2), and Argentina (0-1). This string of poor results had put significant pressure on the team.
Fortunately for Selecão, they managed to break their negative record against Ecuador. Rodrygo turned out to be a difference-maker, scoring the opener and only goal in the encounter. While Brazil’s performance in the match was far from ideal, the win lifted them to fourth place in the standings.

However, Brazil are doing poorly in this qualification campaign. They have already incurred more losses (3) than during any other qualification cycle since Japan 2002. Dorival Junior faces a significant task ahead to get the team back on track and secure a place in the World Cup.

- Pick: Brazil to Win
- Odds: 1.57 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Paraguay 0-1 Brazil
Paraguay achieved a goalless draw against Uruguay, but it is unlikely that Gustavo Alfaro has significantly improved the team’s gameplay in such a short time. Paraguay had their share of luck in that match, which may not hold up against Brazil.
Rodrygo has registered the opener in five of his last six appearances for club and country. Alongside Vinicius Jr., he poses the primary threat to Paraguay’s defence.

Brazil need points and they will focus on getting a win against their opponents. Without question, it will be a tough task in Asunción, but Brazil have plenty of star players who can turn the game in their favor. We suggest picking the guests to win in this encounter.
Paraguay vs Brazil Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Brazil Individual Total Under 1.5
- Odds: 1.85 (22Bet)
Considering that the upcoming meeting played on Paraguay’s home turf, we don’t think that Brazil will thrash their opponents easily. Los Guaraníes tend to be solid at home, showing resilience and fighting spirit. Added to that, they have only conceded three times in seven games, which is an impressive defensive record.
Vinicius Jr. has often been criticized for his below-par performance for the national team. Indeed, the Real Madrid winger failed to make a difference at the World Cup and struggles to combine with Brazilian teammates as he does at Los Blancos.
Given the current form of Dorival Junior’s team, we don’t expect the guests to score more than one goal. A reasonable betting pick for the upcoming match would be Brazil’s total under 1.5 goals.
