Germany and Paraguay will face each other at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough on 29 June. The favourites for this match are clear.
The German national football team
The ‘Bundesteam’ is considered one of the main contenders for the tournament title. Julian Nagelsmann’s side are capable of playing aggressively in attack and defending effectively. At the same time, it is worth noting that the team is not particularly strong defensively.
Five of Germany’s last six World Cup matches have ended with over 2.5 goals. There is a clear trend towards a high number of goals being scored in their matches.
Germany’s injury list includes Nathaniel Braun and Nico Schlotterbeck. Overall, the squad is ready for further triumphs.
Paraguay national football team
Gustavo Alfaro’s side stands out from the rest for its ambition and confidence.
Paraguay have scored no more than one goal in each of their last six World Cup matches. Overall, simply qualifying from the group stage would be a major success for the team.
Omar Alderete’s participation for the national team is in doubt, whilst Diego Gómez will miss the match due to suspension.
Germany v Paraguay prediction
The German national team are the clear favourites. That said, there could well be some surprises during the match.
The form of both teams suggests that both sides are capable of scoring. Paraguay, despite not being particularly active in attack, are capable of capitalising on their few chances, of which there will be few in this match.
