Paraguay in that match managed 54% possession, seven shots with three on target and a goal by Antonio Sanabria (40’).

The home side currently sits in 5th place in the qualifying table with 10 points on board while the visiting side on the other hand comes into this fixture sitting on eighth position with six points.
Four out of six of the previous encounters between these two rivals ended in draws and nothing will stop them from recording another stalemate in this fixture.
