Panama will invite Paraguay to the Estadio Rommel Fernández in a friendly on Sunday. This will be the final match for both teams before they travel to the USA for the 2024 Copa America.
The hosts played in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers earlier this month, recording a 2-0 home win over Guyana and defeating Montserrat 3-1 last week. José Luis Rodríguez was on the scoresheet in both games.
The visitors, on the other hand, played two friendlies earlier this month. They were held to a goalless draw by Peru in their first match of the month and suffered a 3-0 loss to Chile earlier this week. They will look to sign off before the Copa America on a positive note and aim to return to goalscoring ways.

Panama vs Paraguay Prediction
Los Canaleros have won their two games in the ongoing international window with an aggregate score of 5-1 and will look to make it three wins on the trot. They have won their last two friendlies and are strong favorites.
La Albirroja have endured a poor run of form and are winless in their last four games. They have failed to score in seven of their last eight games in all competitions, which is a cause for concern. Gabriel Aguayo has not yet made an appearance for the visitors after receiving his first senior call-up and might get the nod to start here.
Considering the current form of the two teams and home advantage for Panama, the hosts are expected to register a comfortable win.
