Winner : France

Paraguay have been hard to beat lately, drawing their last two matches 1-1 and 0-0, and they also picked up a recent win. They are in decent shape but have struggled to score many goals. France, on the other hand, have had a rough run, losing three of their last four games, including a heavy 3-0 defeat. Their only bright spot was a big 4-1 win, but overall they are not in good form.

These two teams have not played each other recently, so there is no history to go on. Given that France are struggling and Paraguay have been more solid, this match looks very close and could easily end in a draw. It is unlikely to be a high-scoring game, as both sides have had trouble keeping the net full recently.
