Turkey

WWWWLL

Turkey will be hoping for a better result following a 0-1 WC loss in their previous game against Paraguay.

In that match, Turkey had 79% possession and 32 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. On the other side, Paraguay got 7 shots on goal with 2 on target. Matías Galarza (2') was the scorer for Paraguay.

Their more recent scorelines highlight the fact that it has been a great time for the Turkey backline. Turkey have kept it tight, with the total number of goals that have gone in at their end during their previous six outings standing at 4.

United States

LLWLWW

United States head into the match following on from a 2-0 WC win as they beat Australia in their last outing.

In that match, United States managed 62% possession and 10 shots on goal with 2 on target. The scorer for United States was Alex Freeman (43'). On the other side, Australia got 5 shots at goal with 2 on target. Cameron Burgess (11' Own goal) was the scorer for Australia.

The stats tell the story, and United States have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 12 goals in all. In defence, United States have clearly had some problems. It will be interesting to see if that trend can be continued on into this next match.

We’re of the view that Turkey might need a bit of good fortune to get anything against this United States outfit who will likely end up scoring and possibly keep a clean sheet as well.

We’ve gone for a very even contest with a 0-1 winning margin for United States when the referee blows for full-time.

Let’s see what happens.
