USA will welcome Paraguay to Subaru Park in an international friendly on Saturday. Both teams will play a friendly next week before concluding their commitments for the year.
The hosts have seen an uptick in form, and they are unbeaten in their last three games. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Ecuador in a friendly last month and bounced back with a 2-1 win over Australia three days later. A brace from Haji Wright helped them register a comeback win.
The visitors have won just one of their last five games, with that triumph registered on their travels against Peru in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in September. They played two friendlies in October. Goals from Miguel Almirón and Diego Gómez helped them hold Japan to a 2-2 draw, and they lost 2-0 to South Korea four days later.
