Analysis and prediction for Colombia vs Paraguay: A breathtaking victory.

Latest information on the Colombia vs Paraguay match lineups.

Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera remains sidelined for Colombia due to an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and Juan Cabal is also out for the same reason.

Marino Hinestroza and Johan Carbonero were named as substitutes in the match against Brazil but were not used. Both are awaiting their first appearance for the national team.

Luis Diaz scored Colombia's only goal on Thursday, his 17th for the national team. With this goal, the Liverpool player surpassed Carlos Bacca to move up to sixth place on Colombia's all-time scoring list. Diaz is now just one goal behind the late legendary Freddy Rincon.

On the Paraguayan side, captain Gustavo Gomez's injury will prevent him from participating in this match. Hugo Cuenca is also sidelined due to a muscle problem, and Ruben Lezcano has been called up as his replacement.

Four Paraguayan players are looking to make their debut for the national team: Rodney Redes, Ruben Lezcano, Ronaldo de Jesus, and Orlando Gill.

Omar Alderete (Getafe) scored the only goal in the victory against Chile, and that was all Paraguay needed, as goalkeeper Roberto Fernandez made three saves to keep a clean sheet.

Latest football match prediction: Colombia vs Paraguay

Colombia's World Cup qualifying campaign – which had started promisingly – has stalled in recent months as they seek to qualify for the finals for the first time since 2018.

Coach Nestor Lorenzo's team has lost three consecutive matches in the qualifying round, after being unbeaten in the first eight rounds of the campaign.

Currently, they are in last place in the group that qualifies directly for the South American regional finals, with Bolivia close behind, six points behind with five matches remaining.

Los Cafeteros have dropped five points in games where they scored first, but have also earned four points after conceding first – showing a lack of consistency in their form.

Of the 19 points Colombia has earned since the start of the campaign, 13 have come from home games. Their most recent victory at Estadio Metropolitano was a resounding 4-0 win against Chile in matchday 10.

The Copa America 2024 runner-up has a favorable head-to-head record against Paraguay, remaining unbeaten in their last six encounters across all competitions. Their most recent meeting was in the group stage of the recent Copa America, where Colombia won 2-1.

While Colombia is faltering, Paraguay is experiencing a strong resurgence with a seven-match unbeaten streak in the qualifiers.

Changing coaches after being eliminated in the group stage of last year's Copa America seems to have paid off, as new coach Gustavo Alfaro has remained undefeated since taking over.

Recent form has revived Paraguay's hopes of qualifying for the World Cup finals for the first time since 2010. They are currently seven points ahead of Bolivia and are in the group vying for direct qualification to Canada, the USA, and Mexico next year.

Paraguay's biggest strength lies in its solid defense – they have conceded the second fewest goals in South America so far.

However, their attack has struggled, scoring only 9 goals – the second-lowest tally in the entire region.

La Albirroja also has a good record when playing away in Colombia, with a run of two unbeaten matches there in World Cup qualifiers: a 0-0 draw in 2021 and a 2-1 win in October 2017.
