Following Paraguay's loss to Brazil in the Copa America, Gustavo Alfaro left his position as Costa Rica's head coach to take over as Paraguay’s new manager. Alfaro’s debut saw a goalless draw against Uruguay on Friday, leaving Paraguay with six points and positioned in the inter-confederation playoff spot, just two points shy of automatic qualification.

With only one win from their first seven World Cup qualifiers, Paraguay faces a tough challenge against Brazil. Their only victory over Brazil in the past 16 years was a 2-0 home win in June 2008.

In the current qualifying cycle, Paraguay's home performances have been inconsistent: a draw with Peru, a win over Bolivia, and a loss to Colombia. 

Brazil, meanwhile, may have defeated Paraguay in the 2024 Copa America, but their tournament overall was disappointing. The Selecao drew their other two group-stage games and were eliminated by Uruguay on penalties in the quarter-finals, marking their worst Copa America showing since their 2016 group-stage exit.

Under Dorival Junior, Brazil has now achieved four wins and five draws since his appointment at the start of the year. They will be optimistic about securing a second consecutive win on Tuesday, having won four of their last five matches against Paraguay in regulation time, including a decisive 4-1 victory in the 2024 Copa America group stage.
