La Canarinha couldn’t have asked fora better way to arrive at this round. Tite‘s men are in complete control of the standings and have yet to lose a game in the road to Qatar 2022, to which they’ve already qualified for. Therefore, the outlook is not encouraging for the visitors.
La Albirroja‘s World Cup aspirations are practically over following a string of bad results. Not even the change of managers – former LA Galaxy and Boca Juniors boss Guillermo Barros Schelotto replaced fellow Argentine Eduardo Berizzo – has paid off for Paraguay so far. Will they pull off a shock andkeep their hopes alive?
