Colombia vs Paraguay Preview

Colombia arrive at Sports Illustrated Stadium riding a phenomenal 24-game unbeaten streak stretching back to February 2022, a run comprising 19 victories and five draws. Their last outing, a 1-1 draw against Mexico on September 27, highlighted areas coach Nestor Lorenzo wants to address, particularly around game control and attacking intent after taking the lead. Two losses in their previous five outings suggest slight vulnerability, but the broader trajectory remains deeply impressive.

Paraguay head into this friendly buoyed by a convincing 2-0 win over Bolivia in their most recent fixture. Coach Gustavo Alfaro, who confirmed this cycle will be his last in management, has been integrating younger talent and refining his tactical blueprint. Despite that Bolivia result, Paraguay's record against Colombia is daunting: seven games without a win in this head-to-head. Their mixed recent form of two wins, two draws and a defeat underlines inconsistency Alfaro must resolve.

Colombia's home win at 1.71 stands as the primary recommendation, and the reasoning is straightforward. Across 18 meetings since 2005, Colombia have claimed 12 victories against Paraguay, who remain winless in seven consecutive head-to-head encounters. That historical dominance, paired with a 24-game unbeaten streak, makes the home side a compelling pick despite the friendly context.

Nestor Lorenzo's squad were held to a 1-1 draw by Mexico last time out, and the coach publicly stressed the need for greater attacking intent. Expect Colombia to approach this fixture with purpose, looking to reassert control. Paraguay, meanwhile, arrive buoyed by a 2-0 win over Bolivia, but that result came against considerably weaker opposition and offers limited insight into how they will cope here.

The over 2.5 goals market at N/A also merits attention. Colombia's attacking quality across their unbeaten run has been consistent, and with Lorenzo demanding more goal attempts, this friendly should see the hosts create plenty of chances. Paraguay under Gustavo Alfaro will not sit back passively either, which could open the game up. Odds correct at time of publication.

Low confidence

Colombia line up in a 4-3-3 with Luis Díaz expected to lead the attacking threat, supported by a midfield trio built around energy and pressing. Paraguay's 4-4-2 shape, however, is speculated from a source dating back to late 2023, so their actual setup on the night could differ considerably.

The confidence gap between these two lineups is significant: Colombia's probable XI draws from multiple credible outlets, while Paraguay's is essentially a projection built on old data. Miguel Almirón remains the most dangerous name in that Paraguayan shape, but treat their formation as a working hypothesis rather than settled fact.
