USA vs Paraguay

USA – Paraguay Prediction

Co-hosts the United States begin against Paraguay, a side they beat just months ago. Home momentum favours the Americans, but Paraguay's pragmatism makes them an awkward first test.

USA thrills and spills

The hosts produce goals at both ends — a 3-2 win over Senegal, a 0-2 loss to Portugal, a 2-5 to Belgium, a 5-1 of Uruguay and a 2-1 over Paraguay — around 2.4 scored and 2.2 conceded. Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie drive the attack; Chris Richards is an ankle doubt while Ricardo Pepi is back fit.

Paraguay built to frustrate

Gustavo Alfaro's side rely on shape — a loss to Morocco, a win over Greece, a 2-1 against Mexico, a defeat to the USA and a 0-2 to South Korea — modest at 1.0 scored and 1.4 conceded, with one goal or fewer in four of five. Gustavo Gomez anchors, Miguel Almiron and Diego Gomez carry a thin threat, and no key absences are reported.

Where the value sits

The USA lead the head-to-head and won the latest meeting. The USA versus Paraguay prediction turns on Paraguay's lack of goals rather than the result, with the visitors likely to struggle for clear openings against a side that, for all its leaks, still creates.
