Turkiye vs Paraguay Preview

Two sides who suffered opening game losses in Group D meet here in San Francisco, knowing that a defeat could mean the writing on the wall for their respective World Cup campaigns.

Turkiye were expected to have far too much in reserve for Australia but despite dominating possession, they lacked a cutting edge and were comfortably beaten in Vancouver.

Paraguay always knew they were in for a tough one against co-hosts USA, but the manner of their 4-1 loss will be a concern for the group.

A win here, could see both sides propel themselves into qualification contention, especially with 32 teams progressing to the knockout rounds.

Yet a loss and both sides would be feeling pretty glum about their chances of progressing from the pool.

This one is a high stakes encounter and here is a look ahead to Turkiye vs Paraguay:

Everything that could have gone wrong for Turkiye against Australia did so and they found themselves on the end of a comfortable 2-0 loss.

Having all the ball and moving it around the Australian box was one thing but Turkiye really failed to create too many clear cut chances.

They know they will need to improve here, against a Paraguay team who were completely overwhelmed in their tournament opener against the USA.

Both teams will take solace from the fact that they shouldn’t be worse than they were in their opening games but that adds pressure too.

On paper though, this Turkish side looks ready to kick on to the next level and if they can make it click, they should have enough to beat Paraguay.

Losses for both in their first games mean that they will both need to chase the game a little here.

Turkiye, know they have co-hosts USA to follow after this one and they will see this as their most winnable group stage tie.

Paraguay may not have expected to be playing an Australian side that beat Turkiye next, so they will be looking to impart some confidence into their play in this one.

Consequently, this one should be played on the front foot, as both teams look to play to their strengths.

This should be an entertaining one, which Turkiye should have enough attacking talent to prevail from.

Best Value Bet

A penalty to be awarded in the match @ $3.20

Bet Now

The need for points will be a lot for both sides to deal with, which should make the margins in this one very tight.

Attacking players on both sides are very tricky, with the likes of Arda Guler of Turkiye and Julio Enciso of Paraguay proficient technicians, who are very capable of drawing fouls.

This one should be played on the edge, and a penalty could prove to be enough to change the game, in either direction.
