The USA vs Paraguay stats set up Group D Match 4 on 12 June 2026 at Los Angeles Stadium. USA bring the higher FIFA ranking, home setting, and stronger defensive numbers. Paraguay bring more goals, more shots, and a higher xG average.

The match gives the FIFA World Cup 2026 an early clash between home pressure and compact defending. USA can lean on Christian Pulisic, Folarin Balogun, and a stronger attacking average. Paraguay answer with Miguel Almirón, Antonio Sanabria, and a counterattacking profile.

USA vs Paraguay Stats – Match Statistics Overview

USA average 52 percent possession in the tracked 2026 data, while Paraguay average 38 percent. The possession edge sits with the hosts before kickoff. That matters because USA should have more chances to set the match tempo in Los Angeles.

USA average 11.8 shots per match, compared with Paraguay’s 9.0. Their xG average also leads 1.36 to 1.04. Paraguay can still threaten in transition, but the public team data gives USA the stronger attacking baseline.

USA vs Paraguay Stats Snapshot

The snapshot uses public pre-match team data before the official World Cup match feed opens. Verified values cover possession, shots, xG, goals, fouls, clean sheets, and player scoring totals. Deeper live-event values stay marked as yet to be confirmed.

Attacking Stats Comparison

USA have the stronger attacking numbers before kickoff. They average 1.7 goals per match and 1.36 xG, while Paraguay sit at 1.0 goals and 1.04 xG. That gives USA the better chance-quality signal.

USA also have a clearer recent H2H attacking reference. Balogun scored in the 2025 meeting, and Pulisic gives the hosts a wide creator who can attack the box. Paraguay need Almirón to turn counters into quick shots before USA reset.

Defensive Stats Comparison

Paraguay have the cleaner defensive rate in the tracked public data. They have a 40 percent clean-sheet rate, while USA’s clean-sheet figure remains yet to be confirmed in the same source view. USA concede 1.6 goals per match, while Paraguay concede 1.0.

USA’s defensive floor depends on stopping Almirón before he carries counters into space. Paraguay’s foul average also matters because set pieces can tilt a tight opener. If USA draw fouls around the box, Pulisic and Reyna can put pressure on Gómez.

Passing and Possession Analysis

USA’s possession average gives them a clear control edge. Their 52 percent average suggests Pochettino’s side can build through midfield and hold Paraguay deeper. Paraguay’s 38 percent points toward a more selective approach built on counters.

Full public passing data remains thin before the official tournament feed opens. As a result, pass totals, pass accuracy, key passes, and long-ball accuracy stay yet to be confirmed. The safest read comes from possession and shot volume together.

Key Player Statistics

Player-specific event data remains limited before kickoff, so role evidence matters. Pulisic gives USA the clearest creative route from wide areas. Paraguay need Almirón and Sanabria to turn limited possessions into shots.

USA – Christian Pulisic

Christian Pulisic remains USA’s main attacking marker. The public match feed does not give a verified World Cup event line for him yet. Still, his role from the left makes him the key reference for chance creation and box entries.

Paraguay – Miguel Almirón

Miguel Almirón gives Paraguay their strongest transition profile. Paraguay will need his ball carrying because USA should control more territory. If he breaks the first pressure line, Paraguay can create the direct chances their lower possession share requires.

Expected Goals Analysis

xG measures chance quality, so USA’s 1.36 average carries real weight. Paraguay’s 1.04 xG average shows a lower chance-creation level in the tracked sample. That gap points toward USA producing more dangerous looks if they control territory.

The match can still swing if Paraguay slow the first phase. Their defensive record is cleaner than USA’s goals-conceded average. USA’s advantage grows if Pulisic receives early service and Balogun stretches the centre-backs.

Frequently Asked Questions
