ASUNCION: The South American qualifying tournament to reach the World Cup finals resumes later today [Thu].
Paraguay take on twice champions Uruguay with both still harbouring hopes of qualifying though the hosts sit three points behind Uruguay and four points off a play-off place with four games remaining.
Both have struggled to score goals.
Paraguay have failed to find the back of the net in each of their last five World Cup qualifiers, which includes two goalless draws against Argentina and Colombia.
Uruguay have scored only one goal in their last five qualifiers while looking suspect defensively, with 11 goals conceded.
Chile host an alreafdy-qualified Argentina missing Lionel Messi with hopes of a victory to enhance their own hopes of reaching Qatar.
They sit one point behind a qualification spot.
Before a surprise home defeat to Ecuador in their last qualifier, Chile won three matches to nil, looking defensively solid in each of those games, two of which were in Chile.
Strugglers Venezuela and Bolivia contest the other tie.
