France vs Paraguay: World Cup Round of 16

France faces Paraguay in the Round of 16 of the World Cup 2026 in Philadelphia on Saturday, with Les Bleus as favorites.

France and Paraguay will clash this Saturday in Philadelphia in the Round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. Les Bleus enter as favorites but must overcome the team of Gustavo Alfaro, which shocked the world by defeating Germany on penalties.

The teams previously met in the 1998 World Cup, a match that went to extra time and was decided by Laurent Blanc's golden goal. France eventually became world champions that year and aims to repeat that success, while Paraguay, as in 1998, looks to challenge the favorites. truewildslot.com
