For their opponents, Germany had 19 shots at goal with 5 on target. Kai Havertz (54') was the scorer for Germany. After a tense 4-3 penalty shootout, Paraguay were victorious.

France
LWWWWW 🔥
France will go into the clash following on from a 3-0 WC win as they beat Sweden in their most recent fixture.
In that game, France managed 61% possession and 25 attempts on goal with 12 on target. For France, goals were scored by Kylian Mbappé (45', 74') and Bradley Barcola (53'). For their opponents, Sweden got 8 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target.

Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Paraguay certainly have the ability to put one past this France lineup, but a single goal may not be enough to avoid a loss.
Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a close game with a 1-2 victory for France when the referee blows the final whistle. It really should be an interesting one.
