Brazil vs Paraguay Prediction: Who will win this World Cup Qualifier clash?
By Aman Shukla Published on June 10, 2025, 10:36 IST The CONMEBOL World Cup 2026 qualifiers continue this week as Brazil face off against Paraguay in a highly anticipated clash at the Corinthians Arena in São Paulo on Wednesday. With both sides aiming to secure a direct qualification spot, this match could prove pivotal in shaping the South American standings. Brazil vs Paraguay: Match Preview Current Form and Standings Paraguay come into this game full of confidence after a stunning 2-0 win over Uruguay in their previous outing. Currently sitting third in the CONMEBOL qualification standings, La Albirroja have exceeded expectations and will look to maintain their momentum against a much-fancied Brazil side. Brazil, meanwhile, have endured a rough patch by their lofty standards. After being held to a disappointing 0-0 draw against Ecuador, the Seleção find themselves in fourth place—far from where they'd want to be. Head coach Dorival Júnior will be under pressure to deliver a statement performance in front of the home fans. Brazil vs Paraguay: Predicted Lineups Brazil Predicted XI (4-3-3) Goalkeeper: Alisson Defenders: Vanderson, Marquinhos, Ribeiro, Alex Sandro Midfielders: Bruno Guimarães, Casemiro, Gerson Forwards: Raphinha, Matheus Cunha, Vinícius Júnior Paraguay Predicted XI (4-4-2) Goalkeeper: Fernández Defenders: Cáceres, Gustavo Gómez, Alderete, Alonso Midfielders: Derlis Gómez, Cubas, Galarza, Julio Enciso Forwards: Miguel Almirón, Antonio Sanabria Brazil vs Paraguay Prediction Despite recent struggles, Brazil have the firepower and home advantage to get back on track. Paraguay have shown grit and tactical discipline but may find it difficult to contain Brazil's attacking trio of Raphinha, Cunha, and Vinícius for the full 90 minutes. Score Prediction: Brazil 2-1 Paraguay Expect Brazil to dominate possession, but Paraguay could sneak a goal on the counter. Ultimately, the Seleção's individual brilliance might just prove too much for the visitors. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
