Germany vs Paraguay Analysis
Germany came into this World Cup looking to remind the world they belong at the top table. They started with a statement — a 7–1 demolition of Curaçao — and followed it up with a comfortable win over Ecuador. They slipped up in the final group game, losing 2–1 to Ecuador in the reverse fixture, but finished top of Group E on goal difference — six points and a +6 GD, ahead of Ivory Coast who also had six points but a +1 GD.
Deniz Undav has been one of the breakout stars of the tournament with three goals and two assists from a central striking role. Kai Havertz provides a calmer, more technical option. Julian Nagelsmann has the squad depth to rotate and still put out a strong XI — this is a Germany side that has options across every line.
Paraguay are here on merit. They navigated Group D alongside the United States, Australia and Turkey — winning a crucial match against Turkey to secure second place on four points. They have been well-organised defensively throughout, conceding only four goals in three games, and carry a genuine threat on the break through Miguel Almirón and the pace of their wide men.
The Guaraní showed real resilience in their group stage run. A hard-fought draw with Australia and that win over Turkey demonstrated they can match physical, direct opponents. The question is whether they can do that against a side of Germany’s quality. Their 4-4-2 mid-block has worked in the group stage but Germany will give them far more to deal with.
What the Numbers Say
Germany have scored 10 goals in their three group games. That is the joint-highest tally in the entire group stage alongside France. Undav, Havertz and the supporting cast have clicked into gear. Paraguay will need to be disciplined for the full 90 minutes to have any chance of keeping this competitive.
Paraguay conceded four goals in the group stage — the joint-best defensive record among third and fourth qualifiers. They are not going to simply roll over. Their compactness and work rate will test Germany in the first half, and if the game is level at 60 minutes, anything can happen.
Germany have lost their last three knockout stage matches at major tournaments. They were knocked out at the group stage in 2018 and 2022, but this group of players carries fewer mental scars than those squads. Nagelsmann has built a more balanced, hungry unit and the signs in the group stage suggest they are ready to go deep.

Germany vs Paraguay Prediction
This feels like the kind of knockout game where Germany do what Germany do — control the ball, wear the opposition down, and find the goals when it matters. Paraguay will sit deep and make it compact but they do not have the quality to hold out for 90 minutes against this German attack. Undav or Havertz will break the deadlock before halftime. A second goal will come after Paraguay are forced to open up chasing the game. Germany win this comfortably. Scoreline: 3–0 or 3–1.
