Paraguay to face France in World Cup last-16

France will meet Paraguay in the World Cup last-16 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Saturday. The match kicks off at 22:00 BST.

France enter the contest as one of the tournament's strongest sides after winning all four group-stage matches and scoring 12 goals. Paraguay reached the knockout phase by eliminating Germany on penalties, with Julio Enciso scoring in regular time and Jose Canale converting the decisive spot-kick.

Didier Deschamps is expected to name an unchanged side from the 3-0 win over Sweden. Kylian Mbappe leads the attack alongside Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise and Bradley Barcola. William Saliba and Dayot Upamecano are set to start in central defence.

Paraguay will be without Omar Alderete through injury. Gustavo Gomez and Jose Canale are expected to form the central defensive partnership, while Diego Gomez returns from suspension to partner Andres Cubas in midfield. Julio Enciso and Miguel Almiron provide support for striker Gabriel Avalos.

France have never lost to Paraguay in five previous meetings. The French also eliminated La Albirroja in the 1998 World Cup last-16 via Laurent Blanc's golden goal.
