Paraguay has quietly been one of the steadiest squads in South American qualifying. They’ve turned Estadio Defensores del Chaco into a fortress and will be banking on that home-field edge once again. With an exciting mix of experience and youth, Paraguay will look to control the pace and frustrate Uruguay’s rhythm.
Projected Paraguay Lineups:
Fernandez; Caceres, Balbuena, Alderete, Alonso; Galarza, Gomez, Cubas, Almiron; Pitta, Enciso
Under Marcelo Bielsa, La Celeste has found another gear, pressing high, attacking relentlessly, and putting opponents under constant pressure. With wins over both Argentina and Brazil already in their pocket, Uruguay’s confidence is sky-high.
Projected Uruguay Lineups:
Rochet; Nandez, R. Araujo, Gimenez, Olivera; De la Cruz, Bentancur, De Arrascaeta; Pellistri, Nunez, M. Araujo
While both teams are trending toward qualification, this match is about more than just the table. It’s about momentum and about making a statement. Will Paraguay hold serve at home? Or will Uruguay ride their momentum to another massive away win?
