Germany and Paraguay last met in 2013 in a friendly that finished 3–3, but a repeat of that chaotic encounter looks unlikely given how differently the two sides arrive at this 2026 World Cup round of 32 clash.

Germany, despite a final group-stage defeat to Ecuador, topped its group and has been one of the tournament’s most dominant attacking forces. It is joint-top scorer with 10 goals, ranks second for shots on target, and has recorded an xG of 7.38 while averaging 53% possession.

Paraguay, meanwhile, scraped through as the seventh-best third-placed side, scoring just two goals—the lowest among all qualifiers—and averaging only 30% possession, also the lowest in the competition. Its xG of 1.25 is the weakest of any team still in the tournament.
