Winners of Brazil in September 1-0, the Paraguayans were then held in check by Ecuador 0-0 before prevailing on Venezuela 2-1 and Argentina 2-1.

Finally, last November, they had to be content to take a point against Bolivia 2-2. Chile, for its part, tries to win a new qualification for a World Cup since 2014, date of its last participation.
