Paraguay and Australia in a straight shootout to advance
This one is simple. Paraguay and Australia both sit on three points in Group D, so the winner on 26/06/2026 takes the second qualifying place. Paraguay beat Turkiye after losing to the United States. Australia did the same in reverse.
Australia will trust the form that brought a 2-0 win over Turkiye. They defend well and carry a threat on the break. A point may not be enough, so they will likely go for the win.
Paraguay bounced back from a heavy defeat to the United States and will feel they owe themselves a big night. With a last-16 place on the line, nerves will play their part. The first goal could be worth a place in the next round.
