Both Paraguay and Uruguay will be looking to put an end to their five-match winless runs in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers when they lock horns at the General Pablo Rojas on Friday with kickoff at 02:00.
Both sides have made disappointing qualifying campaigns with Paraguay claiming only two of their 14 qualifying matches, while picking up seven draws and suffering five defeats in the process and currently sit in the ninth spot four points outside the direct and playoff spots and six above the bottom-placed Venezuela.
Meanwhile Uruguay have recorded four wins, four draws and six defeats form their 14 matches, collecting 16 points which have left them in the seventh place with just one point behind the fourth-placed Colombia and are three points above their Friday hosts.
Both sides head into the match in poor run of forms in the qualifiers with both winning none of their previous five matches with Paraguay picking two draws and three defeats and are coming off a 0-0 draw with Colombia, while Uruguay have picked one draw and four consecutive defeats including the 3-0 defeat to Bolivia.
Therefore both will be looking to bounce back to winning ways with both aiming to keep their qualification hopes alive with four matches remaining to go. Uruguay will fancy their chances having lost none of their last nine encounters against Paraguay, claiming five wins and four draws in the process and the last time the two met here the visitors won 2-1 on the day.
