USA vs. Paraguay lineups

There are no changes for the USMNT once again.

Paraguay and the United States both come into their final Copa America group match needing a result. The USMNT are likely to progress with just a draw, while Paraguay definitely need a victory.

Jurgen Klinsmann has made no changes for the second straight game. He’ll be hoping Clint Dempsey and Jermaine Jones can build on their excellent outings against Costa Rica after they disappointed in the opener against Colombia. The back line has been solid in both games, while Gyasi Zardes is among the only players to disappoint in both matches. The USMNT will need more from him on Saturday.

Paraguay have made a few changes, some enforced by suspension and some tactical. Oscar Romero has been excellent in this tournament, but he’s out suspended. Los Guaraníes will be hoping striker Tony Sanabria can finally carry his solid club form over to the international stage.

United States lineup (4-3-3): Brad Guzan; Fabian Johnson, John Brooks, Geoff Cameron, DeAndre Yedlin; Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Alejandro Bedoya; Bobby Wood, Clint Dempsey, Gyasi Zardes

Paraguay lineup (4-4-2): Justo Villar; Miguel Samudio, Gustavo Gomez, Paulo Da Silva, Fabian Balbuena; Miguel Almiron, Victor Ayala, Celso Ortiz, Derlis Gonzalez; Tony Sanabria, Dario Lezcano
