Germany vs Paraguay Preview

Germany are the next big hitter to chase a place in the last 16 and they will be eager to get the job done against Paraguay.

Sneaking through a tough group in third place was huge for Paraguay, who have already shown their steel and resilience in this competition.

On paper, Germany are the strong favourites here and should breeze into the last 32 but World Cup football is never that predictable.

The Germans qualified with ease following wins over Curacao and Ivory Coast but their loss to Ecuador last time out will still sting.

Paraguay dug deep to beat Turkiye and showed resolve in their draw with Australia, banishing the memories of their opening game thumping by USA.

All of the pressure is on Germany but here is a look ahead to Germany vs Paraguay:

Best Bet

Germany to win the match @ $1.35

Bet Now

Julian Nagelsmann is managing the German side expertly at this World Cup but there is no margin for error over the coming games.

Qualification from their group was always going to be a bit of a given, meaning that the tournament proper starts now.

His German side have been devastating at times but have also lacked defensive stability, conceding in every game they have played.

This is a no margin for error game and if Paraguay get their noses in front, they have already shown at this tournament how hard they are to break down.

However, Germany are a very good team, with multiple options in their squad and they should march into the last 16 here.

Germany to win & over 3.5 goals in the game @ $2.60

The blueprint for this one feels set out here, with Germany needing to dominate possession and move the ball quickly to catch Paraguay out.

An early goal for either side should make it more of a contest, but Germany will be desperate to make sure they strike first.

Paraguay have kept two clean sheets in the tournament so far, but they wilted when playing the USA in their opening game.

Goals feel assured, especially if Germany start moving the ball with confidence and they could pick up a comfortable enough win here and put some goals on the board.

Best Value Bet

A red card to be shown @ $3.50

Bet Now

It simply doesn’t get any bigger than vying for a place in the last 16 of the World Cup and both Germany and Paraguay will play this one on the very edge.

Ill-discipline didn’t cost Paraguay against Turkiye, but it could have done once Miguel Almiron was sent off for covering his mouth in an altercation.

Tempers have the capacity to flare if things aren’t going well for both Germany and Paraguay and a red card to be shown feels like a decent bet.
