Head-to-Head Record
Paraguay and Australia have met just twice in recorded history — a limited sample that should be treated with caution. Australia have the slightly better of that record, claiming one win and one draw, while Paraguay are yet to beat the Socceroos in a direct meeting. Across both matches, the sides have combined for just three goals at an average of 1.5 per meeting, suggesting these encounters have historically been tight, low-scoring affairs. Given how slim the sample is, recent form and tournament context carry considerably more weight heading into this fixture.
