Brazil are, together with Argentina, one of the two classified that have these Conmebol Qualifiers. They must play these last three games just to complete the schedule. However, taking into account that the World Cup is this year, it is a good opportunity to prepare for that competition, and to see how this team responds with the absence of Neymar.
Paraguay , on the other hand, is in a desperate situation.

It is very difficult, and the Paraguayans are looking for little less than a miracle.
