Paraguay vs Brazil

, KO: 01:30 Sep 11, 2024, Estadio Defensores del Chaco
Brazil

Brazil will be aiming to build some momentum as they travel to Paraguay for a CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier. The Brazilians often come out on top in this fixture and should once again get the better of the Paraguayans, who have been out of sorts in recent times.

Paraguay are coming off a 0-0 draw in their previous fixture in the qualifiers. They struggled with a lack of cutting edge in attack but were solid at the back, restricting the Uruguayans to a single attempt on target.

While there are positives in the performance, the result does little for Paraguay, who remain seventh on the standings. Gustavo Alfaro’s men are still winless in eight of last nine matches across all competitions and suffered three straight defeats prior to that draw in Uruguay.

Brazil got back to winning ways in the qualifiers as they claimed a 1-0 victory over Ecuador in their previous fixture. Rodrygo’s first half effort was enough as they were able to hold on for the win.

Having lost their previous three matches in the qualifiers, Brazil will be looking to use that win as a springboard to jump-start their campaign. A closer look at their recent form shows Dorival Junior’s men are now unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions.

How the bookies view it: Brazil to prevail

The bookies have installed Brazil as overwhelming favourites, with a win priced at 4/7 by Betfred. Paraguay are considered outsiders at home at 9/2 with Betfred, who is offering odds of 13/5 for a draw.

Head to head: No problems for Brazil

Brazil have a 10-5 advantage with three draws from 18 previous matches against Paraguay. The Brazilians have won the last three meetings and claimed a 4-1 victory in the Copa America this summer.

Players to watch: Vinicius Junior to strike

Vinicius Junior is often involved in much of Brazil’s attacking play and could be the one to watch on Wednesday. The forward scored a brace in the last meeting with Paraguay and is priced at 21/10 by Betfred to find the net once again.

Isidro Pitta looked lively on his debut for Paraguay and could be worth keeping an eye on. The striker is priced at 4/1 by Betfred to get on the score sheet on Tuesday.

Probable line-ups

Pitta should continue to lead the line for Paraguay, with Julio Enciso and Miguel Almiron providing support. Omar Alderete is expected to retain his place in the heart of the defence with Fabian Balbuena likely to partner him.

Endrick could be handed a start for Brazil on Wednesday having sat out the win over Ecuador. Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior should retain their place in attack while Marquinhos should feature at the back.

Paraguay: Gatito, Velazquez, Balbuena, Alderete, Alonso, Gomez, Cubas, Bobadilla, Enciso, Almiron, Pitta
Brazil: Alisson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhaes, Wendell, Joao Gomes, Bruno Guimaraes, Lucas Paqueta, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, Endrick
