Germany will take on Paraguay in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, scheduled for 03:30 AM on June 30, 2026 (Vietnam time). The match comes after Germany's mixed performance in the group stage, where they suffered a setback against Ecuador. However, the team, led by coach Julian Nagelsmann, demonstrated their attacking prowess with two consecutive victories over Curacao and Ivory Coast, scoring a total of nine goals.

On the other hand, Paraguay advanced as one of the best third-placed teams. Their journey through the group stage included a heavy defeat to the USA (1-4), a narrow victory against Turkey (1-0), and a draw with Australia (1-1). Despite not being heavily favored, Paraguay poses a potential threat, having previously reached the quarter-finals in 2010 and holding a respectable draw against Germany in a friendly match back in 2013.

This upcoming clash is crucial for both teams, with Germany looking to silence doubts about their capabilities and Paraguay aiming to prove their mettle against a European powerhouse. Fans can watch the match live on VTV3, VTV6, and VTV9, or through the VTVgo app.
