Team statistics:

USA enter the game aware that group-stage football allows little margin for error. A win would push them towards the top two in Group C, while a draw or defeat would leave them reliant on results elsewhere and tiebreakers within the league system. Paraguay approach the match with the same incentive: three points would transform their standing in the table and potentially overhaul direct rivals in the race for a quarter-final place.
