Germany v Paraguay Preview

Germany begin the knockout phase determined to rediscover the ruthless form that made them one of the tournament’s standout teams during the opening week. While Julian Nagelsmann’s side booked their place in the Round of 32 with victories over Curacao and Ivory Coast, a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Ecuador on the final matchday served as a timely reminder that there is still room for improvement.

Despite already securing qualification before facing Ecuador, Germany were second best for long spells and paid the price for defensive lapses. However, the defeat is unlikely to derail confidence within the camp, with Die Mannschaft having scored nine goals in their opening two matches and still possessing one of the tournament’s most dangerous attacking units.

Germany remain four-time world champions and, although they entered the tournament slightly under the radar following successive group-stage exits in 2018 and 2022, Nagelsmann’s youthful squad has shown enough quality to suggest they can challenge the world’s elite if they recapture their attacking fluency.

A return to knockout football should also sharpen Germany’s focus. Their front four of Florian Wirtz, Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sane and Kai Havertz have regularly overwhelmed opponents with movement and creativity, while substitutes such as Deniz Undav have provided genuine game-changing quality from the bench.

Standing in their way are Paraguay, one of the best-performing third-placed teams after navigating a difficult Group D. Gustavo Alfaro’s side accumulated four points from three matches, defeating Turkey before drawing with Australia to edge into the knockout rounds on goal difference.

Paraguay have built their success on defensive discipline rather than attacking flair. They have conceded only twice in the tournament, but goals remain a concern after scoring just once in the group stage.

The South Americans will believe they can frustrate Germany for long periods, particularly having earned a memorable 3-3 draw when the sides last met in a friendly in 2013. However, history favours Die Mannschaft, who eliminated Paraguay 1-0 in the Round of 16 at the 2002 World Cup thanks to Oliver Neuville’s late winner.

With a place in the last 16 at stake, Germany are expected to dominate possession, while Paraguay will look to remain compact before attempting to exploit counter-attacking opportunities through Miguel Almiron.

Conclusion

Conclusion

Germany will view the Ecuador defeat as a valuable wake-up call rather than a major setback. Nagelsmann’s side possess considerably more attacking quality than Paraguay and should control large periods of possession.

Paraguay have shown tremendous organisation throughout the group stage and will be difficult to break down early on, but sustaining that defensive discipline for 90 minutes against Germany’s movement and technical quality is another challenge entirely.

Expect Germany to respond with an authoritative performance and book their place in the last 16.
