United States vs Paraguay — H2H Record
The United States and Paraguay bring a longer head-to-head file than most opening-round World Cup pairings. U.S. Soccer lists a 5W-2L-2D all-time record for the Americans, with the series stretching back to the inaugural 1930 World Cup.
The most recent meeting came in November 2025, when the United States beat Paraguay 2-1 in Chester. That recent result gives the hosts a small psychological edge, yet Paraguay still arrives with the type of compact shape that can turn a live score page into a tense one-goal game.
| Stat | Detail |
|---|---|
| Total Meetings | 9 |
| United States Wins | 5 |
| Draws | 2 |
| Paraguay Wins | 2 |
| Last Meeting | United States 2-1 Paraguay, Friendly, November 16, 2025 |
The all-time file also includes Bert Patenaude's famous hat-trick in the 1930 World Cup, which remains a landmark moment in U.S. tournament history.
Players to Watch in United States vs Paraguay Live Score Coverage
The United States squad will lean on Christian Pulisic for ball progression and final-third quality, while Folarin Balogun carries much of the penalty-box finishing load. Tyler Adams sets the midfield tone, and Chris Richards looks important if the hosts want calmer defending against direct counters and second balls.
The Paraguay squad brings a different threat through Julio Enciso, Miguel Almiron, and captain Gustavo Gomez. Enciso gives the side its sharpest attacking spark, Almiron carries the transition speed, and Gomez anchors the defensive line that helped Paraguay qualify from a difficult CONMEBOL section.
