Germany vs Paraguay

Germany is dominant: #1 seed, 6pts, 3.3 goals/match at home, 80% O2.5 rate, 60% BTTS rate. Recent loss to Ecuador (away) is an outlier; they've won 9 of last 10 overall. Paraguay is #3 but fragile: 1.3 goals/match, 20% FTS rate, concedes heavily away (2 GA per match). Poisson model gives Germany 6.25 xG vs Paraguay 0.69 xG—massive gap. Bookmaker odds (75% Germany) slightly undervalue the gap; our model suggests 78% confidence. Paraguay's only strength is defensive solidity (40% CS rate), but Germany's firepower and home advantage overwhelm. BTTS is viable (Paraguay scored vs Turkey, Australia; Germany concedes 0.9/match at home but has leaked in recent form).

Germany's dominance, home advantage, and Poisson gap (6.25 vs 0.69 xG) justify 78% confidence, above bookmaker's 75%.
