Brazil Aims for Second Straight Win in Paraguay
Brazil will look to continue their winning streak as they face Paraguay in a crucial CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier on Tuesday. The Selecao, coming off a 1-0 victory over Ecuador, are aiming to climb the standings and secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
Team News
Paraguay, struggling to find their form, will be without key defender Gustavo Gomez due to suspension. Fabian Balbuena is expected to fill the void, partnering with Omar Alderete in central defense. Meanwhile, midfielder Mathias Villasanti is pushing for a starting spot after a solid performance off the bench.
Brazil will also be missing Eder Militao, who picked up an injury in their previous match. Yan Couto, Savinho, and Pedro have also withdrawn from the squad due to injuries. Coach Dorival might give Luiz Henrique another chance to impress alongside Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior in attack.
