Match Preview
Germany and Paraguay collide in the 2026 World Cup Round of 32, with a last-16 spot on the line. Die Mannschaft topped Group E impressively; Paraguay squeezed through as a third-placed wildcard — despite never having scored in five previous World Cup knockout appearances.
Germany have been the tournament's most prolific side, netting 10 goals from seven different scorers. Kai Havertz leads the attack, flanked by the electric Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala, with super-sub Deniz Undav adding three goals from the bench. Key absentee Nico Schlotterbeck is ruled out with knee ligament damage; Antonio Rudiger deputises at the back.
Paraguay will lean on Julio Enciso's creativity and the returning Miguel Almirón — back after serving his red-card suspension — to cause problems. Diego Gomez misses out suspended, and Omar Alderete is a fitness doubt. Back-to-back clean sheets hint at real defensive resolve, but Germany's attacking depth is a step up from anything Paraguay has faced. Our prediction: 2-1
