Bolivia host Paraguay in an international friendly. Paraguay have been the more consistent of the two sides over their last run of matches, while Bolivia's form has swung between big wins and heavy defeats.
This one comes after quite a summer for both countries. Paraguay played through this year's World Cup, while Bolivia's route to the tournament ended in the play-offs against Iraq. It's the kind of fixture where recent context matters as much as any head-to-head record.

Recent form: two very different runs
Paraguay's last 20 matches read nine wins, seven draws and just four losses, with 22 goals scored against 15 conceded. That sample includes their run at this year's World Cup, where they held Germany to a draw, beat the USA 4-1, then lost tight games to Türkiye and eventually France.

Bolivia's record over a similar sample is rougher: seven wins, three draws and ten losses, with 37 goals conceded. Recent friendlies brought heavy defeats to Algeria and Scotland, and their World Cup qualifying campaign ended in an intercontinental play-off loss to Iraq.
On the numbers alone, Paraguay's sample looks the stronger of the two, though neither run was built in a low-stakes friendly like this one.
Comparative Team Statistics: Bolivia vs Paraguay

Head-to-head: no clear pattern
These two have met seven times since 2015, mostly in World Cup qualifying. The last meeting, in November 2024, finished 2-2 in Bolivia. Before that, Paraguay won 1-0 in 2023, while Bolivia's heaviest defeat in the fixture came in 2021, a 4-0 loss at home.

Both sides have beaten the other convincingly at home before, so recent history doesn't point strongly either way.
Team news: not much to go on
There isn't a lot of personnel detail available for this one. The only notable item is Bolivia's R. Matheus, who has picked up a red card in his last five appearances for the national side, with no yellow cards in that span.
That disciplinary note doesn't confirm anything about his involvement here, given how thin the wider squad information is.

What kind of game might this be?
Bolivia's recent matches have often been fairly open, with big wins like 6-0 over Argentina and 4-0 over Ecuador sitting alongside heavy defeats. Paraguay's games have generally stayed tighter, shipping just 15 goals in 20 outings including their World Cup run.
That contrast leaves plenty of uncertainty about how open this one will be, especially with rotation likely in a fixture without qualifying stakes attached.

Given there's no market to assess here, we're not making a pick on this one. Paraguay's underlying form looks stronger over their last 20 matches, but friendlies rarely tell you much about how either manager will set up or who actually starts.
Worth keeping an eye on team sheets if you're following the game, but nothing in the evidence points to a confident angle either way.
