 How they got here:

 - Germany enters this Round of 32 showdown as one of the heavier favorites after winning Group E, but their path hasn’t been flawless. They opened with a dominant 7-1 demolition of Curaçao, followed it up with a gritty comeback win over Ivory Coast, then stumbled 2-1 against Ecuador in a match that raised some concerns about consistency. They are 22-1 to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
 - Paraguay’s route was much tougher. They were thrashed 4-1 by the USA in their opener, but bounced back with a key 1-0 win over Turkey and a hard-earned draw against Australia to sneak through as one of the best third-place finishers.
 - Germany has the talent edge and should advance, but if Paraguay can frustrate them early, this could stay tighter than expected, providing an excellent opportunity for live betting.

Free Pick for World Cup Round of 32

World Cup Knockout Round free pick for Germany vs Paraguay matchThe World Cup Round of 32 knockout stage total is on the over 2.5 goals in the Germany vs Paraguay match. Rotation numbers 225509/510 at 4:30 Eastern. Germany is expected to win here and with the potent attack the have they can likely bag 2-3 here on their own. Paraguay employs a heady defensive approach. However in the first game they allowed 4 goals and this game poses a much tougher task. They will play a low block but will have to generate scoring chances to stay in this game, especially if they are down early. Germany, for all their ball control and scoring, has allowed a goal in 9 straight matches. Germany has a bad taste entering off a 2-1 loss to Ecuador. The most likely outcome here is for Germany to win as they are heavily favored off a loss and will be looking to push the ball. Paraguay has played much better after the first game and was able to secure a 3rd place entry and likely bag a goal here as well. GL!  RV

The Pick: Play Over 2.5 goals.
