Paraguay v France Betting Odds: Les Bleus heavy favourites

Here are the latest betting odds for the Round of 16 fixture between Paraguay and France at the 2026 World Cup.

France remain the favourites to win the World Cup after a number of impressive performances so far at the tournament.

Didier Deschamps' side breezed through Group I with three convincing victories, before easing past Sweden with a 3-0 win at the Round of 32 stage.

Kylian Mbappe is now on six goals for the tournament and Paraguay face an uphill battle to keep the likes of Michael Olise, Ousmane Dembele and the French captain quiet.

Paraguay started their campaign with a disappointing 4-1 defeat to co-hosts USA but they grew into the tournament with a win against Turkey and a draw against Australia.

Their next challenge does not get any easier following their remarkable penalty shootout win over Germany, but the passion and resilience they showed should stand them in good stead in Philadelphia.

France will start Saturday's match as the odds-on favourites to book their place in the quarter-finals, where they would face co-hosts Canada or 2022 semi-finalists Morocco.

Priced at 8/1, Paraguay are the outsiders to go through, while a draw over 90 minutes is available at 6/1.

Unsurprisingly, it is Mbappe who is the current favourite in the first goalscorer betting as he continues to compete in a Golden Boot battle for the ages.

Olise and Dembele are also amongst the contenders to score the first goal of the match, with Julio Enciso prominent in the betting for Paraguay.

Both teams to score is available at 11/8, while we are 4/7 for over 2.5 goals to be scored over 90 minutes.

Any odds displayed were correct at the time of writing and are subject to fluctuation.
