After four games played at the head of the South American group there is Brazil, with full points thanks to victories over Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela and Uruguay. In second place is Argentina with 10 points, then Ecuador with 9, Paraguay and Uruguay with 6. The top four will qualify, while the fifth will have to make a play-off. This is why the match on Friday 4 between Uruguay and Paraguay is already important. In the last five matches between the two national teams, Paraguay has never won: 2 defeats in 2016 (4-0) and in 2017 (2-1) in the World Cup qualifiers and three draws – again 1-1 – in the 2011, 2013 and 2015 (in the latter case in the America’s Cup).

The path

Uruguay got off to a good start in qualifying, beating Chile 2-1 at home, with the decisive goal in recovery scored by Gomez. Then the heavy defeat of Quito against Ecuador (2-4) and the redemption at home by Colombia (3-0 with goals from Cavani, Suarez from a penalty and Nunez). In the last game played last November in Montevideo came another defeat, 2-0, against the Brazilian rulers. Paraguay are still unbeaten, but have moved on in small steps: only one victory (1-0 at Venezuela with a goal from Gimenez) and three draws against Peru (2-2), Argentina (1-1) and Bolivia ( 2-2).
