Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Following a goalless draw with Ecuador, Brazil will be aiming to record their first win under Carlo Ancelotti when they welcome Paraguay to their Neo Quimica Arena on Wednesday morning. The Selecao have yet to secure their spot at the 2026 World Cup finals, but a win over Paraguay will see Vinicius Junior and Co. move one step closer to meeting the goal. Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli is pushing for a start as well as Wolverhampton attacker Matheus Cunha, while there are no fresh injury worries in Carlos Ancelotti’s team.
La Albirroja, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-0 win over Uruguay, but it has to be noted that La Celeste were without key duo Fede Valverde – Darwin Nunez in Friday’s qualifier. Paraguay are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Brazil’s party in Sao Paulo. Gustavo Alfaro is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Uruguay.
Highlighted Team (Brazil):

One of the most decorated teams in world football, Selecao have also been regarded as one of the most attractive and exciting teams with glowing reputation preceding them. Members of the CONMEBOL confederation, Brazil have played their first international in 1914 losing to bitter rivals Argentina with a comfortable 3-0 margin.
Brazil is the most successful nation in the FIFA World Cup with five championship title to their name. However, Selecao failed to advance past the quarter-finals of the last two tournaments last winning their World Cup in 2002. Their last title was the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and the star-studded team will be looking to get back to winning ways at this year’s historic Copa America Centenario in the United States.
Legendary Pele is Brazil’s top scorer with 77 goals to his name, while the team’s biggest star of the modern era Barcelona forward Neymar is sitting in fifth place having so far netted 46.
