Longtime South American foes Uruguay and Paraguay meet again Thursday night as CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying for the 2022 competition in Qatar continues.
The two nations both have six points through the opening four qualifiers in what is an 18-match gauntlet, with Paraguay having the slight edge for fourth place on goal differential and Uruguay sitting in fifth—which is the spot that heads to an intercontinental playoff for a final berth at the World Cup.
Uruguay leads the all-time series between the two sides, with a record of 32-25-17, and hasn't lost to Paraguay since a World Cup qualifier in 2007—a span of seven matches.
