This is how the stands of the 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗼 𝗥𝗼𝗷𝗮𝘀 stadium look like, where a good entry is expected to support Paraguay, although there will also be Uruguay fans.

The Garra Charrúa has only one win in the last six games, but what is most worrying has been the lack of goals, where they have only been able to score two goals, so one of the men who could make his debut would be Nicolás López, a Tigres player who was scoring champion in Liga MX last semester.

Paraguay arrives in a bad moment, second last in the general table with 13 points and with only one victory in the last 7 games, which has put its qualification for the playoffs in jeopardy.

Transcendental match this Thursday in Asuncion where Paraguay and Uruguay have no choice but to win or win if they want to have aspirations for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the game.

Uruguay has taken the measure of the albirroja national team in recent matches, having won three times and drawn twice between Copa América and qualifiers, and their most recent defeat was in 2007.

Uruguay 1-0 Paraguay, 2021 Copa América

Uruguay 0-0 Paraguay, 2021 World Cup Qualifiers

Paraguay 1-2 Uruguay, 2017 World Cup Qualifiers

Uruguay 4-0 Paraguay, 2016 World Cup Qualifiers

Uruguay 1-1 Paraguay, 2015 Copa América

It has not been a good start to the year for Luis Suarez, but his experience and eye for goal at any time could appear, remembering that he is a player who at any moment could change the history of the match.

Antony Silva was fundamental to rescue a point in the last visit they had against Colombia, besides he has started with the right foot with La Franja de Puebla in the beginning of Liga MX, so the Paraguayan goalkeeper will be the player to watch for this match.

1 Fernando Muslera, 3 Diego Godín, 2 José Giménez, 5 Matías Vecino, 17 Joaquiin Piquerez Moreira, 22 Martín Cáceres, 6 Rodrigo Bentancur, 14 Lucas Torreira, 21 Facundo Torres, 8 Nahitan Nández, 10 Agustín Álvarez Martínez.

1 Antony Silva, 15 Gustavo Gómez, 5 Fabián Balbuena, 17 Adrián Cubas, 6 Júnior Alonso, 4 Juan Escobar, 10 Miguel Almirón, 23 Mathias Villasanti, 18 Braian Samudio, 8 Matías Rojas, 7 Carlos González.

After the end of Óscar Washington Tabárez's era, Diego Alonso, former coach of Pachuca and Monterrey in Liga MX, has arrived as the savior to try to get the charrúa to the World Cup, after five games without a win, including four consecutive defeats.

Of all the teams that still have a chance, Paraguay is the most complicated and, to begin with, it will have to make its home advantage count in order to get three points that will bring it closer to the fight, especially since it has five games without a win.

With Brazil and Argentina already qualified and at the top of the general table, in addition to Ecuador, which is just a few points away from qualifying, there are two tickets available for six teams, including Paraguay, second to last in the qualification with 13 points, and Uruguay, position 7 with 16 points.

The Paraguay vs Uruguay match will be played at the General Pablo Rojas Stadium, in Asuncion, Paraguay. The kick-off is scheduled at 6:00 pm ET.
