Colombia vs Paraguay Preview

Colombia arrive at Sports Illustrated Stadium with a somewhat uneven run of form, having collected two wins but also two defeats across their last four outings. Néstor Lorenzo's side drew 1-1 with Mexico in their most recent friendly, Luis Javier Suárez netting their sole goal. That result underlined a recurring theme: solid defensive organisation paired with occasional struggles to convert possession into decisive attacking moments.

Paraguay head into this fixture on a more positive note, buoyed by a convincing 2-0 friendly victory over Bolivia courtesy of a Miguel Almirón brace. Gustavo Alfaro's squad have been preparing in Washington D.C. this week, fine-tuning tactical details ahead of what will be their final match of the international break. Their recent form reads as mixed overall, but that Bolivia result provided genuine momentum.

Colombia's historical dominance over Paraguay is the cornerstone of this selection. Los Cafeteros are unbeaten in their last seven meetings, boasting four wins and three draws, with a lopsided 7-2 record in friendly head-to-head encounters specifically. That pedigree, combined with home advantage at Sports Illustrated Stadium, makes it difficult to envisage a Paraguay victory here, even accounting for Colombia's inconsistent recent form.

Néstor Lorenzo's side will be eager to improve after a 1-1 draw against Mexico, where Luis Javier Suárez found the net. Paraguay, meanwhile, carry genuine confidence following Miguel Almirón's brace in a 2-0 win over Bolivia. Gustavo Alfaro's squad have been preparing in Washington D.C. and will not lack motivation as this match closes their international break.

The double chance covering a Colombia win or draw represents the strongest value in this fixture. Colombia's home pricing at 1.69 reflects their status as favourites, while the draw at 3.60 provides additional cover given the frequency of stalemates between these two sides.

Low confidence

Colombia line up in a 4-3-3 against Paraguay's speculated 4-4-2, though the visitors' shape carries considerably less certainty, drawn from older data rather than fresh intelligence. Luis Díaz is the natural focal point of Colombia's attacking intent, offering width and directness from the left flank.

The midfield contest shapes up as a compelling duel on paper, with Jefferson Lerma providing the defensive anchor behind a creative trio. Paraguay's reported structure suggests a more compact, double-pivot approach, but readers should treat the away side's arrangement with caution until confirmed closer to kickoff.
