France vs Paraguay: World Cup Round of 16

France and Paraguay clash in the World Cup 2026 round of 16 on Saturday in Philadelphia, with Les Bleus favored against the team that shocked Germany.

France enters as favorites against Paraguay in the round of 16, but the South American team has proven its mettle by eliminating Germany on penalties. The teams previously met in the 1998 World Cup, where France won via a golden goal from Laurent Blanc before going on to claim the title.

Paraguay, led by Gustavo Alfaro, aims to make life difficult for France once again, hoping to repeat their role as underdog disruptors from 28 years ago. h-doctor.club
