Germany vs Paraguay
Likely line-up
📖 The Preview
Germany go into this one as clear favourites and the 2-0 scoreline reflects that nicely. With a 62% win probability, the Germans are expected to control the game and keep a clean sheet, which lines up with the no BTTS and under 2.5 goals predictions. Paraguay aren't completely without threat but their 17% win chance tells you where the smart money sits. The absence of Schlotterbeck through ligament stretching is a slight concern in defence, but Germany still have enough quality to see this out comfortably.
