The tactical read
Paraguay typically set up in 4-4-2 and make their first change around minute 50 - roughly 5 substitutions per game. Expect the first-sub window around then, earlier if they're chasing the game.
Over the last 5 matches, the same shape held up in 3 of them. The quickest hook came at 46' at home to Australia; the longest wait stretched to 58' at home to France.
Results have gone against them lately (1-2-2 from the last 5) - under pressure, managers often get more reactive with team news and substitutions than their season-long averages suggest.
