Paraguay need just one point from their final two qualification games to secure a place at World Cup 2026. Their first opportunity comes on Thursday evening, when they host Ecuador at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium in Asunción. The Ecuadorians have already booked their place at next year's tournament, thanks to a superb qualification campgin in which they have lost just two of their 16 matches so far. Remarkably, Ecuador have conceded just five goals in those sixteen games, a record that has gone a long may to negate their largely underwhelming attacking displays.
Paraguay's strong position is largely due to a record of five wins and just one defeat from their last nine qualification games. They could have sealed their World Cup spot last time out, but fell to an agonzing 1-0 defeat in Brazil. With a potentially tricky trip to Peru coming up next week, coach Gustavo Alfaro will be keen for his side to get the job done on Thursday and avoid a nervous final game.

Our Paraguay vs Ecuador Prediction
Both teams have been solid rather than spectacular during qualification, so we are not expecting a goalfest on Thursday night. It is also worth noting that both Ecuador and Paraguay have been extremely hard to beat over the last 12 months, so there is a very high chance that they will cancel each other out. With Paraguay needing just a point to qualify, this looks set to be a dour and low-scoring encounter with very little goalmouth action.
Our prediction for Paraguay vs Ecuador is: Draw and under 2.5 goals..
