The home team is in good shape, four games without defeat, which has brought them to the sixth position in the table, the last one that leads directly to the final tournament. This was partly made possible by today's rival Argentina, with a 6-0 victory over Bolivia in the last round.However, Venezuela and Bolivia are there, breathing down their necks, and it will be a very interesting fight for a place in the North American World Cup.Paraguay could already drop to eighth place today, although Venezuela (Brazil at home) and Bolivia (Ecuador away) have a tough job, but not as tough as the Paraguayans who welcome a team they haven't beaten at home since 2009. Argentina remain top of the qualification table despite mixed results since winning the Copa America in the summer. They showed their character by demolishing Bolivia led by Leo Messi (hat trick) after two bad results - a 2-1 loss to Colombia and a 1-1 draw with Venezuela. For today's game, the "gauchos" will be strengthened by the return of Emiliano Martinez from suspension, and for the first time, Dusan Vlahovic's former teammate Enzo Barenece, who moved to Aston Villa this summer, but was immediately sent on loan to Valencia, was called up under the national flag. Barennechea is being referred to as the new Paul Pogba, but for his style of play, not for his behavior off the pitch.Nine of Paraguay's last ten qualifying games have come 0-1 goals (three wins, four draws and three losses). The only exception was the 2-1 victory over Venezuela, which was brought about by two of Pablo Sanabrio's own goals.Bearing in mind that Argentina is a couple of points away from securing a place in the World Cup, they will try to finish it as soon as possible.

主队状态很好，四场比赛不败，这使他们在积分榜上排名第六，这是最后一个直接晋级决赛的球队。这在一定程度上要归功于今天的对手阿根廷，他们在上一轮比赛中以6比0战胜了玻利维亚。然而，委内瑞拉和玻利维亚在那里，紧盯着他们，这将是一场非常有趣的北美世界杯席位争夺战。尽管委内瑞拉（主场迎战巴西）和玻利维亚（客场迎战厄瓜多尔）的比赛都很艰难，但巴拉圭今天可能已经跌至第八位，但这并不像巴拉圭人迎接一支自2009年以来在主场从未击败过的球队那么艰难。尽管自今年夏天赢得美洲杯以来，阿根廷队的成绩喜忧参半，但仍保持在预选赛积分榜的首位。在2-1负于哥伦比亚和1-1战平委内瑞拉两场糟糕的比赛后，他们击败了由梅西（帽子戏法）率领的玻利维亚，展示了自己的个性。在今天的比赛中，埃米利亚诺·马丁内斯将从禁赛中回归，“高乔人”将得到加强，而杜桑·弗拉霍维奇的前队友恩佐·巴雷内斯，今年夏天转会到阿斯顿维拉，但立即被租借到瓦伦西亚，将首次被征召到国旗下。巴伦内切亚被称为新的博格巴，但他的比赛风格，而不是他在球场下的行为。巴拉圭最近10场预选赛中有9场0-1进球（3胜4平3负）。唯一的例外是2-1战胜委内瑞拉，这是由萨纳布里奥的两个乌龙球带来的。考虑到阿根廷队离世界杯入场券还有两分之遥，他们会尽可能快地完成比赛。
