Team news
Paraguay:
Gustavo Alfaro's side will be without Miguel Almirón, who serves a one-match suspension after his red card against Türkiye. Matías Galarza, scorer of the fastest goal of the tournament against Türkiye, is expected to retain his place, while Julio Enciso and Isidro Pitta will shoulder the attacking responsibility. Alfaro has described the match as "a final" and emphasized his team's determination to earn qualification.
Australia:
Tony Popovic's side need only avoid defeat to stay on course for the knockout stage. Australia have been dealt an injury setback with full-back Jacob Italiano ruled out, while Mohamed Touré remains a fitness doubt. Popovic has insisted his team will play to win rather than settle for a draw despite the favorable permutations.
Predicted line-ups
Paraguay (4-2-3-1):
