If you are outside these regions, here is the complete list of official broadcasters for the 2026 FIFA World Cup around the world.

🇩🇪 Germany's Preview

Germany enters the knockout stage as the winner of Group E with six points. Julian Nagelsmann's side opened the tournament with a dominant 7-1 victory over Curaçao, followed by a 2-1 win against Ivory Coast before suffering a surprising 2-1 defeat to Ecuador in its final group-stage match.

That loss raised some concerns around the German camp after what had otherwise been an impressive group-stage campaign. Defensive lapses against Ecuador exposed weaknesses that Germany will be eager to correct before the knockout rounds.

Despite the setback, Die Mannschaft remains one of the tournament favorites and will be looking to prove that the defeat was nothing more than a minor stumble.

🇵🇾 Paraguay's Preview

Paraguay reached the Round of 32 as one of the best third-place teams after finishing third in Group D. While the Guaraníes did not enjoy a spectacular group stage, they managed to collect four points and extend their World Cup journey.

The South Americans opened with a heavy 4-1 loss to the United States before bouncing back with a narrow victory over Türkiye. They then closed the group stage with a scoreless draw against Australia, a performance that left more questions than answers.

Now Paraguay has an opportunity to reset and embrace the underdog role against one of the tournament's traditional powerhouses.

⭐ Players to Watch

🇩🇪 Deniz Undav

Although Kai Havertz has started most of Germany's matches as the team's center forward, Deniz Undav has emerged as Die Mannschaft's most influential attacking player during this World Cup.

The striker has consistently delivered whenever called upon and enters this match as one of Julian Nagelsmann's biggest offensive weapons. His ability to find space inside the box and capitalize on scoring opportunities could prove decisive in a knockout match.

🇵🇾 Julio Enciso

Julio Enciso will once again carry much of Paraguay's creative responsibility. The talented midfielder is expected to play a vital role both offensively and defensively as the Guaraníes attempt to slow down one of the strongest midfields in international football.

If Paraguay hopes to pull off an upset, Enciso will need to control the tempo whenever possible while also providing the spark that can generate scoring opportunities.

🎯 Final Analysis

Germany enters the match as the overwhelming favorite according to most sportsbooks. The betting odds suggest that a Paraguayan victory would require a major upset, highlighting the gap in quality and squad depth between the two sides.

However, knockout football often produces unexpected twists. If Germany fails to establish an early lead and the match remains level deep into the second half, the pressure could begin to shift toward the European side. In that scenario, the contest could become increasingly tense and physical, with extra time—or even a penalty shootout—emerging as very real possibilities.
