France vs Paraguay | Team news

As expected, Paraguay have named a starting defensive line-up with five at the back as they look to frustrate France. Gustavo Gomez’s side, who stunned Germany on penalties in the previous round, will be hoping another disciplined display can keep their World Cup dream alive and set up a quarter-final clash against Morocco.

Paraguay XI: Orlando Gill; Juan Jose Caceres, Gustavo Gomez (c), Gustavo Velazquez, Omar Alderete, Junior Alonso; Miguel Almiron, Diego Gomez, Andres Cubas, Matias Galarza; Julio Enciso.
