Germany wins: 1

Draws: 1

Paraguay wins: 1

Germany and Paraguay have locked horns on just three previous occasions, and it is the former that leads the head-to-head, having posted one win to the latter's zero.

Germany have previously faced Paraguay at a World Cup, with the pair meeting in the last-16 stage of the 2002 tournament; Oliver Neuville scored the only goal of the match to record a 1-0 victory for DFB-Team, who went on to make the final, losing 2-0 to Brazil.

Their latest World Cup encounter came in the round of 32 at the 2026 tournament, where the sides played out a 1-1 draw before Paraguay triumphed 4-3 in the penalty shootout. The result saw La Albirroja eliminate Germany from the competition for the first time at a World Cup, while also ending the Europeans' hopes of a deep run.
