Under the guidance of Gustavo Alfaro, Paraguay has managed only one victory out of their seven matches, placing them seventh in the qualification standings. The last time Paraguay triumphed over Brazil was in 2015, winning 4-3 on penalties.

Paraguay vs. Brazil match prediction
Brazil has not been performing at their best, resulting in several frustrating draws under manager Dorival Junior.
However, they could find their rhythm against a struggling Paraguay, who have only one win in their last six matches across competitions. Although Brazil may not dominate, they are likely to secure three points.
Prediction: Paraguay 0-1 Brazil
