The long-awaited Qatar 2022 World Cup is drawing nearer but there's still a lot to be played for in the South American Qualifiers. Paraguay and Uruguay face off in a must-win game for both today, January 27, at the Estadio General Pablo Rojas in Asunción. Here, check out everything there is to know about this exciting WQC game, such as the preview, information, storylines, predictions, odds and how to watch or live stream it free.

La Albirroja head into this clash in a tough spot. Following a poor start to the tournament under Eduardo Berizzo, former LA Galaxy and Boca Juniors manager Guillermo Barros Schelotto took the reins of the team. Will he get his first win at home?

On the other hand, this match will mean the beginning of a new era for the visitors. With their World Cup aspirations at risk, Diego Alonso will make his debut in charge of La Celeste as they parted ways with longtime manager Oscar Washington Tabarez.

Paraguay vs Uruguay: Storylines

Paraguay arrive at Matchday 15 under heavy fire. La Albirroja sit ninth in the Conmebol World Cup Qualifiers standings with 13 points (W2 D7 L5), four shy of the fifth spot - which grants the final spot for Qatar 2022. Last time out, they drew with Colombia.

Uruguay are in a slightly better position than their opponents but their situation isn't good either. Their weak start to the tournament has cost Tabarez his job after more than a decade in charge, so Diego Alonso has a challenging job ahead of him. After their shocking defeat to Bolivia, La Celeste are seventh with 16 points, so a victory could place them among the top five again.
