Who is the opponent?
Paraguay finished behind Turkey in Group D and advanced to the knockout stage with four points.
Why is Germany favored?
The DFB team will be clear favorites - especially since the South Americans are struggling with personnel problems. Midfielder Diego Gomez will miss the game due to yellow cards against the USA and Australia.
