Levi’s Stadium will host an intriguing Group D showdown between Paraguay and Australia, with both sides knowing that a point could be enough to boost their chances of reaching the World Cup knockout stages. Therefore, our prediction leans toward a 1-1 draw. Paraguay enter the match on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Turkey, a result built on defensive discipline and organization. However, Gustavo Alfaro faces several selection headaches ahead of this clash. Star man Miguel Almiron is suspended, while both Gustavo Caballero and Ramon Sosa are major doubts. On a positive note, talented midfielder Julio Enciso has recovered from his minor injury problem and should be available. Paraguay's recent performances suggest they are comfortable playing tight, low-scoring matches, having conceded just 1.3 goals per game across their last ten outings.
Australia, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2-0 defeat to the USA after opening their campaign with an impressive 2-0 win over Turkey. The Socceroos have generally struggled away from home, winning only one of their last seven matches on the road. Adding to their concerns, experienced midfielder Mathew Leckie is unlikely to feature after sustaining a knock against the Americans. Given the circumstances, Australia may also be content with avoiding defeat rather than taking unnecessary risks.
As both sides have three points and may be satisfied with sharing the spoils, we are tempted to place our bets on Draw, alongside Under 2.5 goals and Half-Time Draw (neither team is expected to take many risks in such an important match).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Friday 26 June 2026 at 03:00.
