Paraguay, who had gone without a win in seven matches dating back to October of 2017, finally secured a victory in a friendly against Guatemala one week ago, per Soccerway . Now, they must build on that momentum to have any realistic hope of advancing in the 2019 Copa America, as they play in Group B — a group in which Argentina and Colombia are the clear favorites to take the top two positions. That leaves Paraguay and guest nation Qatar to battle for one of the two third-place spots that will qualify for the quarterfinals, and each will need to claim the full three points to keep that mission on track, in a match that will live stream from Rio.

Qatar, who will host the 2022 FIFA World Cup, is also on a mission to improve as much as possible before that competition, Manager Felix Sanchez said Saturday, as quoted by BeIn Sports . They took a big step in that direction when they shocked Japan — the other 2019 Copa American invited team — to win the Asian Cup final in February.
“They are accustomed to being strong and competitive,” Sanchez said. “But our plan is to give the players the maximum opportunities to prepare for the World Cup in 2022.”
Paraguay will be looking to improve on their performance in last year’s special Copa America Centenario where they earned only one point and bowed out at the group stage.
