The Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup continues with this matchup between Germany and Paraguay. The game will take place this Monday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. Die Mannschaft is brimming with confidence as it enters this knockout stage of the World Cup. The team coached by Julian Nagelsmann needed just two matches to secure first place in Group E. As one of the underdogs in this tournament, they aren’t expected to falter early this week.
To qualify for the Round of 16 of this World Cup, Paraguay secured a spot among the top third-place finishers by earning 4 points in Group A. Gustavo Alfaro’s men bounced back perfectly after their heavy defeat against the United States in their opening match (4-1). However, the Albirroja faces a very tough opponent in their debut in the knockout stage. It will take a true upset to advance to the next round, and it’s hard to imagine that happening...

Germany - Paraguay: Form Analysis
Germany arrived at the 2026 World Cup on the back of a nine-game winning streak. That made them one of the dark horses to win the tournament! Die Mannschaft managed to finish at the top of Group E. After a lopsided victory over Curaçao (7-1), they had to work hard to defeat Ivory Coast (2-1).
Trailing for much of the match, the team coached by Julian Nagelsmann was able to count on Deniz Undav coming off the bench to turn the game around. He scored twice, helping his team secure another victory and clinch first place in their group even before the final matchday. Although Germany lost several key players in their last match against Ecuador (2-1), they had nothing left to play for.
Germany is coming off a loss to Ecuador (2-1), but they had already secured first place in Group E.
For Paraguay, qualifying for the Round of 16 at this World Cup was much more difficult. It must be said that La Albirroja did not get off to the best start in Group A. Completely outclassed by the United States, they suffered a heavy defeat in their opening match (4-1). Gustavo Alfaro’s men, however, did not give up. Quite the contrary! They bounced back by defeating Turkey (1-0).
After opening the scoring very early in the match, they managed to hold on throughout the second half despite being a man down following Miguel Almirón’s ejection. To secure a spot among the best third-place finishers, Paraguay managed to finish the group stage of this World Cup with a draw against Australia (0-0). They will now face a formidable opponent in their debut in the knockout stage.

Germany & Paraguay Squad Analysis
During the group stage of this World Cup, Germany suffered a major setback with Nico Schlotterbeck’s injury. Julian Nagelsmann still has a strong roster, however. After a less-than-convincing performance against Ecuador, Manuel Neuer hopes to put on a better showing as the tournament enters its decisive phase. After sitting out the last match, Nathaniel Brown is expected to return to his position at left back. Antonio Rüdiger and Jonathan Tah will form the central defensive pairing, while Joshua Kimmich will play on the right flank.
Impressive in midfield since the start of this World Cup, Felix Nmecha is likely to have his work cut out for him again on Monday night. Up front, Germany boasts plenty of talent with Leroy Sané, Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, and Kai Havertz. It’s also hard not to mention Deniz Undav, Julian Nagelsmann’s “supersub.” The VfB Stuttgart forward has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in his first two substitute appearances in this tournament.
Nathaniel Brown, who sat out Germany’s last match, is expected to return for this Round of 16 match.
Paraguay’s defense will have to be at its best if the team is to pull off an upset against Germany. Coming off a strong performance against Australia, Orlando Gill expects to have even more work to do in goal. He’ll do everything he can to put on a stellar performance against one of the underdogs of this World Cup! He’ll be able to count on the support of his captain, Gustavo Gómez, in front of him. It remains to be seen whether Omar Alderete will be alongside him, as he had to leave the field due to injury in the last match.
Gustavo Alfaro will have to cope with a major absence in midfield. After picking up his second yellow card of the tournament in the final group stage match, Diego Gómez is suspended for this Round of 16 match. On the bright side, Miguel Almirón will return from suspension. He remains one of the Albirroja’s key players. He will almost certainly start on the offensive front alongside Julio Enciso. The RC Strasbourg player has already recorded two assists in this World Cup. He’s looking to make his mark once again in this highly anticipated matchup.
