France will face Paraguay in the last 16 of the World Cup on Sunday morning Nepali time in the sweltering temperatures of Philadelphia. The winner of this match will face Morocco in the quarterfinals.
The France-Paraguay match will be played under a weather warning as the US celebrates its Independence Day on July 4. The high humidity in Pennsylvania is expected to reach 38 degrees Celsius. The match will start at 5 pm local time and is also expected to be accompanied by thunderstorms.
France coach Didier Deschamps said his team is prepared for the conditions. France have scored 13 goals in four matches in the tournament. France will be without Aurélien Tchoumani. He is reported to be out with a thigh injury. Manu Kone will replace him.
Paraguay coach Gustavo Alfaro said his South American team is more worried about France's hurricane-like aggression than the weather. "France is like a lightning storm, we have to be ready to face it," he said.
Paraguay, who had eliminated Germany on penalties in their previous last-32 match, will be looking to challenge France physically.
