Paraguay possible 11:
Silva, Gomez, Balbuena, Alonso, Arzamendia, Romero, Villasabti, Gimenez, Almiron, Romero and Samudio.
Prediction: Uruguay 1-1 Paraguay
Paraguay come into this one unbeaten in the group stage and we expect them to keep the fight on against a good Uruguay side.
The absence of Cavani is massive as he poses a threat with his experience.
Suarez would hope to strike form with country after club success but with the return to international football, there could be tired legs.
Hence, we expect a stalemate and see both sides happy to take a point at this stage of the qualification.
