Meanwhile, Paraguay made it this far in the World Cup thanks to a win, a draw, and a loss in their three Group D encounters. The Paraguayans kicked off their campaign with a 4-1 loss to co-hosts USA, but they bounced back with a determined 1-0 victory over Turkiye in their second match, despite one of their star players, Miguel Almiron, receiving a red card just before halftime.

The youngest head coach at the 2026 FIFA World Cup happens to be Germany's Julian Nagelsmann, at 38 years old. Ad Germany vs Paraguay prediction Paraguay coach Gustavo Alfaro has provided his team with a disciplined defensive structure that can be credited for their clean sheets against Turkiye and Australia. Their low block will be tested against the Germans, and they will need to absorb pressure before looking to players like Miguel Almiron (back from his suspension) or Julio Enciso to hit the Europeans on the counterattack.

Germany's game plan will likely feature high-intensity pressing, with rapid transitions and dominance of possession as they aim to dictate the tempo and overwhelm the South Americans. If the Germans get an early goal, it will be very difficult for Paraguay to get back into the game. Ad We expect Germany to secure a victory against Paraguay due to their superior attacking depth, with players like Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, and Kai Havertz ensuring a clinical and creative edge.
