Germany Form

Germany stumbled in their final 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage match against Ecuador last weekend, losing 2-1.

Die Nationalelf had 61% possession and 11 shots in the game, with three attempts on target.

At the start of the tournament, Germany were in fine form, thrashing Curacao 7-1 before edging Ivory Coast 2-1.

Die Mannschaft have won four of their last five fixtures, with one defeat. They scored 16 goals and conceded five.

Germany fell short in their previous match, but had already secured their place in the round of 32, and will have the belief they can beat Paraguay and advance to the next stage of the tournament, having won 11 of their last 12 games.

Paraguay Form

Paraguay secured a point in their final Group D match against Australia last weekend, drawing 0-0 to book their place in the knockout rounds of the World Cup.

Los Guaraníes had 44% possession and eight shots in the game, with two attempts on target.

La Albirroja did not start their 2026 FIFA campaign well, losing 4-1 to the USA before bouncing back with a narrow 1-0 win against Turkiye.

Los Guaraníes have won two of their last five fixtures, with two defeats and one draw. They scored seven goals and conceded six.

Paraguay will be pleased to have reached the round of 32 in this edition of the World Cup, but they will have to produce a clinical performance to beat Germany, as they have lacked consistency, with four victories in their last seven outings.
