Germany Vs Paraguay Preview
Although the Germany vs Paraguay odds point towards a DFB-Team victory, head coach Julian Nagelsmann will be more than wary of the threat of the South Americans. Just as the former Bayern boss found out against Ecuador last time out.
The Germans knocked home nine goals against Curacao and Ivory Coast but their frailties against the Ecuadorians will give the White and Red’s belief. Even our Germany World Cup preview doesn’t predict the four-time winners to go past the quarters but they will still remain confident of advancing on Monday night.
As for Gustavo Alfaro’s troops, a 4-1 trouncing against USA on MD1 in Group A was certainly not on their bingo card. Nonetheless, they picked up a vital win against Turkey and shared the spoils with Australia to confirm their spot as one of the eight best third-placed teams.
Germany Vs Paraguay H2H Record
Although the Germany vs Paraguay H2H record is somewhat lacking, it’s Germany who can boast the better results. The two nations have only met on two occasions with the most recent ending in an entertaining 3-3 draw in a 2013 friendly.
The one and only meeting in a major competition came during the Round of 16 during the 2002 World Cup. Oliver Neuville scored the only goal of the game as DFB-Team went all the way to the final. Which is something worth bearing in mind when it comes to World Cup betting on BetVictor’s Germany vs Paraguay betting markets.

Germany Vs Paraguay Team News
Antonio Rudiger is the likeliest candidate to fill the void left by Nico Schlotterbeck in the heart of the Germany defence. The Dortmund ace suffered an ankle injury against Ivory Coast on MD2. Kai Havertz, Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala should occupy the three attacking berths.
Meanwhile, Paraguay will be able to welcome back former Newcastle star Miguel Almiron after his red card against Turkey. However, Diego Gomez will have to sit on the naughty step having received a second tournament booking against Australia last week.

Germany Vs Paraguay Prediction
We don’t envisage this to be the most open game that the 2026 World Cup Round of 32 has to offer but Germany have enough about them to avoid an upset. Especially with the likes of Deniz Undav, Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz to rely upon.
Don’t expect the Paraguayans to make it easy, but the gulf in class should prove decisive in Boston.
