Paraguay defender Gustavo Gomez will miss the match after picking up his second yellow card in the scoreless draw against Uruguay.

Veteran Fabian Balbuena is expected to step in for Gomez, partnering with Getafe’s Omar Alderete in the heart of the defense.

Meanwhile, midfielder Mathias Villasanti is pushing for a starting spot after logging over 30 minutes as a substitute in Friday’s match.

The visitors will be without Real Madrid center-back Eder Militao, who picked up an injury in the match against Ecuador.

In addition, Girona's Yan Couto, Manchester City's Savinho, and Flamengo's Pedro have all had to withdraw from the squad due to injuries.

Coach Dorival might give Luiz Henrique a second consecutive start. The Botafogo forward is likely to join forces with Real Madrid stars Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior in attack.

Paraguay vs. Brazil prediction

Brazil haven't been in the best of forms and the team has played out a number of frustrating draws under manager Dorival Junior.

But the team could spring into action against a beleaguered Paraguay, who have recorded just one win in their last six matches in all competitions. Even though Brazil may not run riot in Asuncion, they will most likely return with three points.

Prediction: Paraguay 0-1 Brazil
