- Venue: Estadio Mâs Monumental
This week, Paraguay will aim to secure their inaugural victory in the 2026 World Cup qualification campaign as they journey to Argentina to take on La Albiceleste.
Argentina, along with Brazil, is one of the only two nations to maintain a flawless record in this competition. The reigning world champions kicked off the tournament with a tough 1-0 victory against Ecuador, followed by a dominant 3-0 triumph over Bolivia on Match Day 2. On Friday, the Argentine team, known as the White and Sky Blue, will strive to extend their winning streak. Considering their impressive six-match run, anything other than a victory at home would be unexpected.
Paraguay is aiming to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 2010. The team finished in eighth place during the previous qualifying campaign and their performance this time doesn’t seem to have improved. They began the competition with a goalless draw against Peru and, most recently, experienced a 1-0 loss to Venezuela.
Argentina vs Paraguay Betting Tips: Both teams to score — No
Since the 2022 FIFA World Cup final in Qatar, where Argentina allowed three goals against France in regulation and extra time, their defense has been in exceptional shape. Led by Messi, Argentina has achieved an impressive record of six consecutive clean sheets in their most recent six matches.
Furthermore, the Paraguayan national football team has been facing significant difficulties in scoring goals recently. In five out of their last seven matches, Guillermo Barros Schelotto’s team was unable to find the back of the net even once. Throughout this timeframe, the wager on “BTTS &— Yes” yielded a successful outcome merely on a solitary occasion.

Argentina team news
Lionel Scaloni, the coach of Argentina, will have the luxury of counting on Messi’s skills once again. Messi was absent from the previous victory over Bolivia in September due to an injury, but now he is available for selection.
The Inter Miami captain has made a sensational start to life in the USA and is already racking up records, goals and assists. The 36-year-old will look to score his 105th goal for the Argentina national football team this week.

Paraguay team news
Miguel Almirón, who has successfully scored two goals for Newcastle United in the Premier League this season, will remain an essential asset for Paraguay.
In September, the Uruguayan national team suffered a defeat against Venezuela, marking the 29-year-old’s 51st appearance for his country.
Gabriel Ãvalos has had an outstanding performance this season for Argentinos Juniors in the Primera Division, scoring 14 goals and providing 3 assists. He is expected to continue leading the front line. Keep an eye on Andrés Cubas in the midfield, as he is likely to make a significant impact.
