Paraguay vs Venezuela Predictions


Paraguay can claim a much-needed win against a Venezuelan side that rarely travels well.

A home win is my only choice at the Estadio ueno Defensores del Chaco.

  • Paraguay won 3 of their last 5 home matches (World Cup qualifiers)
  • Paraguay won 3 of their last 5 matches against Venezuela
  • Venezuela lost 11 of their last 13 away matches (World Cup qualifiers)

Head to Head


Paraguay and Venezuela have met on 18 previous occasions since 1999. Paraguay lead the H2H record with ten wins to Venezuela's six. 

Paraguay Form


Paraguay return to Asuncion on Tuesday after picking up a valuable point in Thursday's World Cup qualifier in Ecuador. 

Gustavo Alfaro's side are unbeaten in three matches, having picked up four points from September's qualifiers against Uruguay (0-0) and Brazil (1-0). Los Guaraníes had failed to win nine of ten previous matches before their shock win against the Brazilians at this venue one month ago. 

Now at the halfway point in the qualification campaign, Paraguay sit eighth in the section, two points behind the automatic qualifying zone. 

Paraguay Squad & Team News


Goalkeepers: Carlos Coronel, Alfredo Aguilar, Rodrigo Morínigo
Defenders: Gustavo Gómez (captain), Júnior Alonso, Fabián Balbuena, Omar Alderete, Iván Ramírez, Matías Espinoza, Néstor Giménez, Gustavo Velázquez
Midfielders: Miguel Almirón, Mathías Villasanti, Richard Sánchez, Alejandro Romero Gamarra, Andrés Cubas, Matías Rojas, Hernesto Caballero, Damián Bobadilla, Fabrizio Peralta
Forwards: Derlis González, Ángel Romero, Julio Enciso, Ramón Sosa, Adam Bareiro, Alex Arce

Gustavo Alfaro reported no new injury issues after Paraguay's hard-fought goalless draw in Ecuador. Diego Gomez and Junior Alonso are available after serving suspensions in Quito. 

Premier League duo Julio Enciso and Miguel Almiron are expected to feature in a three-pronged Paraguayan forward line. 

Venezuela Form


Venezuela arrive in Asuncion after a well-deserved 1-1 draw against Argentina in a rain-soaked contest last Thursday. Salomón Rondón's 45th international goal secured a point for Fernando Batista's side. 

The Vino Tinto have drawn four of their last five World Cup qualifiers and find themselves seventh in the section, one point above the Paraguayans. 

A poor away record remains a major issue for Venezuela, with eight of their last ten World Cup qualifiers ending in defeat. The visitors failed to win 30 of their last 32 away qualifiers.

Venezuela Squad & Team News


Goalkeepers: Rafael Romo, Joel Graterol, José Contreras
Defenders: Alexander González, Yordan Osorio, Nahuel Ferraresi, Miguel Navarro, Christian Makoun, Jon Aramburu, Carlos Vivas, Delvin Alfonzo, Luis Balbo, Victor Fung, Alessandro Milani, Yiandro Raap, Rubén Ramírez, Bianneider Tamayo
Midfielders: Tomás Rincón (captain), Darwin Machís, Yeferson Soteldo, Jefferson Savarino, Yangel Herrera, José Martínez, Cristian Cásseres, Eduard Bello, Daniel Pereira, Telasco Segovia, Kervin Andrade, David Martínez, Bryant Ortega, Nicola Profeta, Daniele Quieto, Yair Ramos, Leenhan Romero, Giovanny Sequera
Forwards: Salomón Rondón (vice-captain), Jhonder Cádiz, Lorenzo D'Agostini, Jesús Ramírez

Fernando Batista must make at least one alteration to his selection on Tuesday. Jose Martinez is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. 

Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Edson Castillo stands by to come into the Venezuelan midfield.
