Germany and Paraguay last met in 2013 in a friendly that finished 3–3, but a repeat of that chaotic encounter looks unlikely given how differently the two sides arrive at this 2026 World Cup round of 32 clash.Germany, despite a final group-stage defeat to Ecuador, topped its group and has been one of the tournament’s most dominant attacking forces. It is joint-top scorer with 10 goals, ranks second for shots on target, and has recorded an xG of 7.38 while averaging 53% possession.Paraguay, meanwhile, scraped through as the seventh-best third-placed side, scoring just two goals—the lowest among all qualifiers—and averaging only 30% possession, also the lowest in the competition. Its xG of 1.25 is the weakest of any team still in the tournament.Live Match TrackerMatch MomentumMatch StatsLineupsMatch SummaryREAD THE LATEST WORLD CUP NEWS, ANALYSIS AND INSIGHT FROM SI FCAdd us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
