Brazil vs Paraguay Head-to-Head Record: Stats, History & Latest Results
Brazil are set to host in-form Paraguay at Arena Corinthians on Tuesday night. The Selecao will be determined to climb up the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying table in this match. Especially after a frustrating goalless draw with Ecuador in Carlo Ancelotti’s first match in charge.
After that draw, Brazil are now sitting in fourth position in the standings, two points behind their visitors. That stalemate extended Brazil’s inconsistent run. They now have only a single win in their last five qualifiers, and no wins in their last two.
Despite a patchy campaign, Brazil’s form at home has been absolutely formidable. They’ve avoided defeats in their last four home fixtures, winning three of them. Four of their six total wins have come on home soil. The host will look to take that home advantage to make a statement under Ancelotti against Paraguay.
However, Paraguay are currently flying high after a 2-0 win over Uruguay. That win propelled them above Brazil in the standings. Unbeaten in nine matches since September 2024, Gustavo Alfaro’s team is within touching distance of World Cup qualification. They need just a few more points to make it official.
Taking official competitions and FIFA international friendlies into consideration, the head-to-head record between Brazil vs Paraguay stands at:
In their latest meeting, Paraguay defeated Brazil by a narrow 1-0 margin in the reverse fixture of this match. It seems the momentum from that match hasn’t changed much. Paraguay are still in good form, while Brazil are still struggling to find consistency. The upcoming clash in Sao Paulo promises another tighter contest as the last one.

Casemiro has returned to the Selecao for the first time since 2023. Even so, his performance was impressive against Ecuador. Hence, he will likely keep his spot at the starting XI. With no injury concerns, Ancelotti may rotate the attack today. Matheus Cunha and Antony could start in place of Richarlison and Estevao. Vinicius Junior will hope to improve on his modest qualifying record so far.
Meanwhile, Paraguay emerged unscathed from their win over Uruguay, so they will field a full-strength side against the Selecao. Antonio Sanabria, despite being goalless last time out, remains a key figure with four goals in the campaign. Hence, he can be expected to start the match. Julio Enciso, who netted his third qualifying goal via penalty will add creative spark on the flank for Alfaro’s side.
Going into this match, even though Paraguay have a good chance of winning, Brazil are the favourites. Hence the moneyline for Brazil is at -250, while, for Paraguay, it’s at +700. Since Carlo Ancelotti took over Brazil, expectations from the team has gone significantly up and the odds could be a reflection of that as well.
Considering both team’s forms, it is going to be a low-scoring affair. If the total goals from both teams exceed three or four goals, even that will be unusual, but not impossible. The odds for the over and under goals certainly reflect that.
