Brazil are aiming for their second win in a row as they travel to Paraguay for a CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier on Tuesday.

Brazil are now fifth in the qualifying standings, while Paraguay are two rungs below. The hosts have scored just one win in seven matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign so far and were held to a 0-0 draw by Uruguay in their previous match.

In addition, Girona’s Yan Couto, Manchester City’s Savinho, and Flamengo’s Pedro have all had to withdraw from the squad due to injuries.

Coach Dorival might give Luiz Henrique a second consecutive start. The Botafogo forward is likely to join forces with Real Madrid stars Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior in attack.

Paraguay vs. Brazil predictionBrazil haven’t been in the best of forms and the team has played out a number of frustrating draws under manager Dorival Junior.

But the team could spring into action against a beleaguered Paraguay, who have recorded just one win in their last six matches in all competitions. Even though Brazil may not run riot in Asuncion, they will most likely return with three points.

Prediction: Paraguay 0-1 Brazil
