## Crucial World Cup Qualifier: Brazil vs Paraguay (2025)<br /><br />Tonight (June 10, 8:45 PM ET / June 11, 1:45 AM BST), Brazil hosts Paraguay at São Paulo’s **Neo Química Arena** in a pivotal **CONMEBOL 2026 World Cup qualifier**. <br /><br />**Brazil**, under new coach **Carlo Ancelotti**, seeks its first win after a frustrating 0–0 draw with Ecuador. Sitting **4th in the standings (22 points)**, they face pressure to secure direct qualification. Star winger **Raphinha returns** from suspension, likely joining **Vinícius Júnior** in attack. <br /><br />**Paraguay**, unbeaten in **nine matches**, stunned Uruguay 2–0 last week and sits **3rd (24 points)**. Their resilient defense (only 9 goals conceded in 15 games) and counter-attacking threat—led by **Miguel Almirón** and **Julio Enciso**—make them dangerous. Paraguay won their last qualifier clash 1–0 (September 2024). <br /><br />**Tactical Outlook**: Brazil will dominate possession, but Paraguay’s compact shape and physicality could force a low-scoring affair. **Prediction: Narrow Brazil win or draw**.⚽🔥 #Soccer #Football #Highlights #Goals #Sports
