🇩🇪 Germany Preview

Germany come into this match as Group E leaders with six points. Julian Nagelsmann’s side began their campaign with a dominant 7-1 win over Curaçao, then defeated Ivory Coast 2-1 before closing the group stage with a surprising defeat by the same scoreline against Ecuador.

That final result raised concerns within the German squad, which showed some defensive doubts after dominating much of the first stage of the tournament.

Despite the setback, Die Mannschaft remain one of the main contenders for the title and will look to prove it now that the knockout stage begins.

🇵🇾 Paraguay Preview

Paraguay managed to reach the Round of 32 as the third-place team in Group D. Although the Guaraníes did not have a brilliant group stage, they advanced with four points thanks to one win, one draw, and one defeat.

The South American side began with a painful 4-1 loss to the United States, then edged Türkiye by the narrowest of margins before closing the first stage with a goalless draw against Australia, a result that left more questions than answers.

Now, Paraguay will try to change the image they showed in the group stage and take advantage of the pressure that will fall entirely on Germany.

⭐ Players to Watch

🇩🇪 Deniz Undav

Although Kai Havertz has occupied the starting striker role for much of the FIFA World Cup, Deniz Undav has become Germany’s most decisive player.

The forward has delivered whenever given the opportunity and comes into this match as one of Julian Nagelsmann’s main attacking weapons. His ability to step up in important moments could prove decisive in a knockout match.

🇵🇾 Julio Enciso

Julio Enciso will once again be the player on whom Paraguay’s hopes rest. The attacking midfielder will need to play a major role both on and off the ball to try to balance a match in which Germany start as favorites.

In addition to creating danger in attack, Enciso will have an important defensive responsibility in helping contain one of the most talented midfields in world football.
