Greece vs Paraguay: Match preview
The Greece national team attempted to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup but fell short. Across six qualifying matches, they collected seven points and finished third, four points behind second place. The team now has two friendlies ahead before shifting focus to the UEFA Nations League.
Notably, they will compete in League A after an impressive previous campaign, where they defeated Scotland 3–1 on aggregate in the play-offs. In the upcoming edition, their opponents will be Germany, the Netherlands, and Serbia.
Paraguay, meanwhile, successfully secured qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They collected 28 points from 18 matches, finishing behind Brazil, Uruguay, and Colombia on tie-breakers, but still booked their place at the tournament. The team will now play several preparatory matches ahead of the finals.
At the World Cup, they are set to face the United States, Australia, while their third opponent will be determined via the qualification play-offs. Since completing their qualification campaign, Paraguay have played four friendlies — winning one, losing two, and drawing one.
