Latest football commentary Paraguay vs Ecuador
Paraguay under Gustavo Alfaro have missed the last three World Cups, last appearing in 2010. However,The Guaraniesnow just one point away from a ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
Paraguay impressed in June by beating Uruguay 2-0 thanks to a 13th-minute Matías Galarza opener and a late Julio Enciso penalty. They then lost 1-0 away to Brazil, but that result did not have much of an impact on the outcome.
With 24 points after 16 matches, Paraguay is currently ranked 5th in the South American qualifying standings, 6 points ahead of Venezuela (play-off position). This means that if they only draw with Ecuador at home, they will officially qualify directly for the finals.
Alfaro and his players are even more confident after winning 5 consecutive home matches in the qualifying round, including memorable victories: 2-1 against Argentina and 1-0 against Brazil. Notably, Alfaro also has the opportunity to "assert himself" against Ecuador - the team that fired him after the 2022 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Sebastián Beccacece’s Ecuador secured their place in North America early after a 0-0 draw with Peru in June. It was their third consecutive goalless draw, following similar results against Brazil and Peru themselves, extending their unbeaten run to nine games and keeping eight clean sheets in the process.
However, the problem of the attack makes fans worried: Ecuador has only scored 1 goal in the last 5 away matches (won 1, drawn 3, lost 1). With a place in the World Cup already secured, Beccacece will likely take advantage of this match to test the personnel and continue to build cohesion.
