Álvaro Montero GK vs. Carlos Coronel GK
Alvaro Montero has shown tremendous promise during 2026 World Cup Qualification matches, in particular. Making one start, he kept a clean sheet while recording three saves allowing only one goal, showing discipline under pressure without incurring fouls or cards from referees or match officials. With Montero in goal as an asset against Paraguay’s ineffective offense. Montero provides Colombia an important advantage.
Carlos Coronel brings more experience and has appeared in six 2026 World Cup Qualifying matches so far, managing three clean sheets while making thirteen saves and conceding only three goals – his ability to handle pressure and make crucial saves will be vital as Paraguay face Colombia’s potent attack and his clean sheet record suggests he could provide formidable protection.
On Monday, this will be an intense battle of experience versus form between Montero and Coronel as goalkeepers. Montero appears to be peaking just at the right moment while Coronel can rely on experience and past clean sheets as game-changers; therefore, every save could determine who emerges victorious in this matchup.
Luis Díaz Leading the Charge
Luis Diaz has been one of Colombia’s standout performers during 2026 World Cup Qualifying matches, scoring two goals while taking 24 shots (6 on target). As a forward, Diaz will likely prove key against Paraguay as his contributions could ultimately decide the match’s result.
Antonio Sanabria’s Impact
Antonio Sanabria was instrumental for Paraguay during their 2026 World Cup Qualifying matches, scoring one goal and making two shots-on-target from three attempts despite limited playing time. Sanabria’s ability to convert chances and role as an attacker will prove indispensable if Paraguay are going to stand a chance against Colombia’s defense.
