Brazil faces Paraguay next Tuesday (18-07) in the Del Chaco stadium in Asuncion for the ninth time in World Cup qualifiers. With four new faces in the line up – Edimílson, Fabio Luciano, Marques and Djalminha – expectation is for a match full of surprises.
Brazil and Paraguay have met a total of 65 times in the past. Of these, the competition they have played the most in has been the Copa America (formerly the Sul-Americano), with 26 meetings. They have played in eight World Cup qualifiers, and Brazil has won six and drawn twice. Brazil won the three games played in the Defensores Del Chaco stadium (1 - 0 / 2 - 0 / 3 - 0).
The figures put Brazil ahead. Since the first meeting on 12 October 1921, for the Sul-Americano – Brazil has won 42 times against 07 victories for Paraguay and 16 draws. Brazil has scored a total of 152 goals and only let in 51.
Brazil goes into the next stage of the 2002 World Cup qualifiers with at least the statistical upper hand. The squad leaves for Asuncion on 17, returning to Iguacu Falls after the game. The team will train until 25 July when they head for Sao Paulo.
