Our Prediction for the Uruguay vs Paraguay Match
"Los Charrúas" had a long period under the management of Tabárez, but problems arose in the last cycle, leading to his dismissal. Despite reaching the World Cup, Luis Suárez and the team failed to make an impact. Paraguay, however, has not participated at such a level since 2010.
Ahead of the new qualifying cycle, Marcelo Bielsa took charge in Montevideo. While his initial period was challenging, his team finished the autumn segment with thirteen points and four victories, including one in Argentina. Paraguay only managed to win against Bolivia at home (1-0, which was their only goal during this stretch) and accumulated five points.
In the Copa América, Paraguay's performance was notably poor. They lost all three of their matches, not just to Brazil but also to Colombia and Costa Rica. Ironically, their new manager, Gustavo Alfaro, who had previously worked with the Costa Rican team, was appointed at the end of the summer. Meanwhile, Luis Suárez and his team ended up securing "bronze" in the Copa América, with Suárez equalizing in the 92nd minute of the "consolation final" before Rochet won the penalty shootout. However, it's important to note that Uruguay is currently dealing with suspensions due to incidents with fans after their semi-final match against Colombia. Missing from the squad are Núñez, Betancur, Giménez, Olivera, and Ronald Araújo.
Uruguay vs Paraguay: Possible Starting Line-ups
Uruguay (possible lineup): Rochet - Viña, Cáceres, Olaza, Nández - De Arrascaeta, Ugarte, Valverde - M. Araújo, Pellistri, Suárez
Paraguay (possible lineup): Morínigo - Jiménez, Alderete, Balbuena, Velázquez - Bobadilla, Villasanti, Enciso, Almirón, Sosa - Bareiro
