The World Cup is getting close and the South American Qualifiers are reaching its crucial stages. Brazil and Paraguay face off today, February 1, at Estadio Mineirao on Matchday 16 of the Conmebol tournament.

La Canarinha couldn't have asked for a 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 and keep their hopes alive?

Brazil vs Paraguay: Storylines and Head-to-Head

Brazil don't have anything to lose in the remaining games of the Qualifiers except for their undefeated streak in the competition. It's been quite an easy road for La Verde-amarela so far but they could have lost to Ecuador last week. However, they still managed to get a point to protect their unbeaten run.

Paraguay, on the other hand, have been in free fall in the tournament. La Albirroja have failed to pick up a win in their last six games (D2 L4) and also failed to score in each of them. Berizzo has already paid his dues but Barros Schelotto has yet to turn things around (D1 L2). Last time out, Uruguay claimed all three points in Asunción.

These national teams will meet in a World Cup Qualifier for the 18th time in history. Brazil have been completely dominant against La Albirroja recording 11 wins, while Paraguay claimed just two triumphs, and they drew on four occasions.
