Germany vs Paraguay Prediction & Stats - World Cup 2026

Germany head into their FIFA World Cup 2026 Round of 32 clash against Paraguay as clear favourites on June 29 at Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Julian Nagelsmann's men will be aiming to continue their title charge, while Gustavo Alfaro's Paraguay hope to produce one of the biggest upsets of the tournament.

Germany topped Group E after an impressive group-stage campaign that produced 10 goals, although they closed the phase with a 2-1 defeat to Ecuador. Antonio Rüdiger is expected to lead the defence following Nico Schlotterbeck's tournament-ending ankle injury. Paraguay reached the knockout stage as one of the best third-placed teams from Group D, relying on a disciplined defensive approach and valuable clean sheets against Turkey and Australia. Miguel Almirón returns from suspension to strengthen their attack.
