When Brazil plays Paraguay in a 2026 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday in Asuncion, they will want to win two games in a row.
The hosts are four points behind the Selecao in seventh place, while the latter are in fourth place with 10 points.
Head-to-Head
With three draws from their past eighteen encounters against Paraguay, Brazil leads 10–5. The Brazilians emerged victorious in the Copa America this summer, winning 4-1 in the previous 3 meetings. The Selecao’s poorest Copa America performance since losing to Uruguay on penalties in the quarterfinals in 2016 resulted from drawing their previous two group matches.
In Friday’s 2026 World Cup qualifying match, Dorival Junior’s team returned to competitive play against Ecuador. Rodrygo’s first-half performance was sufficient to propel his team to a tight 1-0 victory, breaking Brazil’s four-game qualifying winless streak.
After defeating Brazil 2-0 at home in June 2008, Paraguay knows they will have their work cut out for them when they play Brazil in regulation time. Paraguay has only won one of their seven 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Team News
Gustavo Gomez, a defender for Paraguay, will miss one match due to a second yellow card he received for qualifying in the goalless draw against Uruguay. Gomez is set to be replaced by the seasoned Fabian Balbuena, who will play in center defense with Getafe defender Omar Alderete.
Mathias Villasanti, a midfielder, is demanding a starting position after playing for more than 30 minutes on Friday after coming off the bench.
The center back for Real Madrid, Eder Militao, is sidelined for the visiting team due to an injury he suffered prior to the victory over Ecuador.
Pedro of Flamengo, Savinho of Manchester City, and Yan Couto of Borussia Dortmund have all been forced to withdraw from the team because of injuries. Dorival might be tempted to go with the same starting lineup that faced Ecuador, meaning Luiz Henrique would start for the second time in a row.
The forward for Botafogo is expected to play in attack alongside Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo of Real Madrid, but Endrick, their clubmate, might only be able to watch from the bench.
Probable Line-Up
Paraguay XI:
Fernandez; Velazquez, Balbuena, Alderete, Alonso; Gomez, Villasanti, Bobadilla; Almiron, Enciso, Pitta
Brazil XI:
Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Arana; Andre, Guimaraes, Paqueta; Henrique, Vinicius, Rodrygo
Verdict
Tip Brazil to Win❌
Reason
Brazil has been disappointed by several draws during Dorival’s brief tenure, but we do not anticipate it to be a problem in Tuesday’s match as we think the visitors will show off their superiority to win all three points.

Tip: Under 2.5 Goalsâś…
Reason
Brazil won their sole match, a 4-1 victory, when these two sides recently squared off in the Copa America group stage. In addition, it was the first competitive game since September 2023 in which Brazil scored more than one goal. Paraguay’s goalless draw with Uruguay should give them confidence. They have demonstrated their willingness to slug it out with opposition with their numerous 1-0 and 0-0 results during this qualifying campaign. Given that Brazil’s offense doesn’t seem to be clicking, another low-scoring game might be in store.
