The United States is enjoying a three-game winning streak against Paraguay as the two teams open their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaigns against one another on Friday. Los Guaranies hope to cause an upset at SoFi Stadium, while the co-hosts aim to ensure their tournament starts without a hitch on the West Coast.

The Stars and Stripes won just two of their first six meetings with Paraguay overall, but have now beaten that tally in the last decade alone. And a fourth win in a row for Mauricio Pochettino’s side would all but secure a spot in the knockout stages right out of the gate, even if they’ve lost three of their last four games.
Three points could be enough to bag a top-three finish in the pool stage, though the U.S. will have its eyes firmly on finishing atop the pecking order in Group D. Christian Pulisic, in particular, is shouldering a heavy burden to succeed coming into Friday’s opener, as are fellow attacker Folarin Balogun and midfield anchor Tyler Adams.
Atlanta United’s Miguel Almiron will look to lead Paraguay in his World Cup debut alongside captain Gustavo Gomez, with that duo boasting an impressive 165 caps combined. Strasbourg’s Julio Enciso and Sunderland defender Omar Alderete will also have essential roles to play in inspiring their team after winning three of their last four outings.
