Paraguay vs Ecuador: Match Preview

During the last batch of qualifiers in June, Alfaro's side impressively beat Uruguay 2-0 thanks to a 13th-minute strike from Matias Galarza and a late penalty from Julio Enciso, though they did suffer a narrow 1-0 loss against Brazil most recently.

But despite that most recent defeat, Paraguay are still on course to qualify automatically, given that they currently occupy fifth position in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying table with 24 points, six clear of Venezuela in the play-off spot.

Los Guaranies have posted some superb home wins over Argentina and Brazil during qualifying, and despite Ecuador's fine form, confidence will be high that they can finish the job on Thursday.

FEATURE: Who are the biggest clubs in South America

Ecuador have been brilliant in their own respective qualifying campaign so far, and with just two losses to their name, they can already look forward to an appearance at next summer's World Cup.

They will compete in back-to-back World Cups for the first time in 20 years in 2026 and have a flurry of upcoming stars that means they could be considered some people's dark horse heading into the tournament.

Sebastian Beccacece's men have tied their last three games 0-0, failing to score in those clashes, but are now on an unbeaten streak of nine matches and will prove a tricky test for Paraguay.

They will also be without a number of injured stars on Thursday, including attacking midfielder Enciso, who is recovering from a meniscus tear. Furthermore, Mathias Villasanti is working his way back from an anterior cruciate ligament injury and will be another big miss.

FourFourTwo's Prediction

Paraguay 1-1 Ecuador

This one could be a sombre contest, with FourFourTwo expecting a 1-1 draw that would see Paraguay progress. Ecuador are the draw specialist, and this result would work for both parties.
