Colombia vs Paraguay Preview

Colombia head into this friendly at Sports Illustrated Stadium looking to bounce back after a frustrating 1-1 draw against Mexico, where they took an early lead through Luis Suárez but could not hold on. Manager Néstor Lorenzo's side have won two and lost two of their last four outings, a mixed run that suggests inconsistency. Their historical dominance over Paraguay, though, remains a powerful factor in this fixture.

Paraguay arrive in confident mood following a convincing 2-0 victory over Bolivia, with Miguel Almirón grabbing both goals in an impressive individual display. Coach Gustavo Alfaro's squad trained in Washington D.C. earlier this week as they fine-tuned preparations. Their recent form reads three results from five without defeat, mixing wins and draws. Still, Paraguay have not beaten Colombia in their last seven meetings, a record that will weigh heavily.

Colombia's home win at 1.78 stands as the primary pick here. The historical record is compelling: twelve wins from eighteen meetings since 2005, with Paraguay managing just three victories in that span. Colombia have gone unbeaten in their last seven encounters against the Albirroja, collecting four wins and three draws. That kind of sustained dominance does not fade overnight.

Backing over 2.5 goals at N/A also carries merit. Colombia averaged 1.3 goals per head-to-head clash while Paraguay contributed 0.8, and both sides showed attacking intent in their recent outings. Miguel Almirón bagged a brace against Bolivia, while Suárez found the net for Colombia against Mexico. Expect forward-thinking lineups in a friendly with no competitive pressure.

Both teams to score at 1.08 rounds out the selections. Paraguay arrive in decent form with two wins from their last five, and Almirón's confidence will concern Néstor Lorenzo's backline. Colombia's inability to keep a clean sheet against Mexico exposed defensive vulnerabilities that Gustavo Alfaro will look to exploit. Odds correct at time of publication.

Trends to Know about Colombia vs Paraguay

• Colombia unbeaten in last seven meetings
• Colombia averaged 1.3 goals per H2H
• Paraguay won just 3 of 18 clashes

Both lineups carry a speculated tag, drawn from aggregated sources rather than official confirmation, so some late changes remain possible on either side. The projected contest pits Colombia's 3-5-2 against Paraguay's 4-4-2, a shape that should create interesting tension across the wide channels.

Luis Díaz is the standout creative force in Colombia's setup, operating in a system that asks the wing-backs to provide width while the two strikers press high. For Paraguay, Miguel Almirón anchors the midfield unit and will be central to any transition threat the visitors can generate.
