Why Brazil can cover

Brazil roll into this matchup ranked fourth in the world according to FIFA. This unit provides several forces that can impact the game in several ways. Forward Endrick has a strong left foot while staying patient around the net. The 17-year-old explodes with the ball when given open grass. Last season for SE Palmeiras, Endrick had 11 goals. In addition, he had three goals in four international friendlies in 2024.

Forward Rodrygo is another force. The 23-year-old can quickly change directions, making it difficult for defenders to keep up with him. Last season for Real Madrid, Rodrygo had 10 goals and five assists. He also ranked second on the team in goals (2) in their four international friendlies. See which team to pick here.

Why Paraguay can cover

Midfielder Miguel Almirón will be asked to step up and be a driving force for this group. Almirón has the field vision to find openings as both a scorer and a playmaker. Over the past two seasons with Newcastle in the English Premier League, Almirón totaled 14 goals and five assists. Midfielder Kaku has been an additional offensive weapon.

Kaku owns solid passing accuracy but will put the ball in the back of the net. Last season with Al Ain FC, the 30-year-old had four goals and four assists. Midfielder Julio Enciso is a shifty force who has good speed. Over the last two seasons with Brighton FC, Enciso logged four goals and five assists. See which team to pick here.
