Germany's weakness—gaps left by fullbacks pushing forward

The German team is not invincible. The biggest vulnerability lies in the two fullbacks—Raum and Kimmich (or Henrichs)—who both tend to overlap aggressively. When Germany loses possession in the opponent's half, large gaps are often left behind the fullbacks.

Paraguay's counterattacks are particularly adept at exploiting these gaps. Left winger Almirón is extremely fast and has proven his threat on the counterattack at Newcastle. If Germany presses too high and loses the ball, allowing Paraguay to quickly play a long ball behind the defense, Almirón's one-on-one ability will directly test German goalkeeper ter Stegen.

Another concern is Germany's set-piece defending. In the group stage match against the Netherlands, both of Germany's conceded goals came from set pieces—one corner kick and one free kick. Paraguay is also strong on set-piece attacks, with the 1.88-meter tall Gómez being the most dangerous aerial threat in the box.

If Germany wants to keep a clean sheet against Paraguay, they must thoroughly prepare their wide defending and set-piece defending. Otherwise, the likelihood of Paraguay stealing a goal is not low.
