Turkey and Paraguay arrive in Santa Clara for a must win game in the Group B. Both lost on Matchday 1 and another setback would leave qualification hopes hanging by a thread with only one group fixture remaining.
The pressure is particularly intense because neither side can point to bad luck alone. Turkey dominated possession but failed to score. Paraguay were exposed defensively and spent much of their opener chasing the game. A response is required from both camps.
Turkey’s defeat to Australia was one of the most frustrating results of the opening round. Vincenzo Montella’s side-controlled possession, created opportunities and spent long periods camped inside the Australian half. Yet despite their territorial dominance, they left the pitch without a goal.
The return of Kenan Yildiz could be a major boost. His ability to operate between defensive lines adds another creative dimension alongside Arda Guler and Hakan Calhanoglu. Few teams in this group possess the same level of technical quality in midfield and attacking areas.
What Turkey lacked against Australia was composure in key moments. The build-up play was often excellent, but the finishing failed to match the quality of the approach work. Given the chances they generated on Matchday 1, there is every reason to believe goals will follow if a similar volume of opportunities is created here.
Paraguay endured a difficult opening half against the United States and never fully recovered. Conceding three goals before the interval left them with too much ground to make up, even though their attitude improved considerably after the break.
Miguel Almiron remains the central figure in Paraguay’s attacking plans. His pace and direct running offer a route forward whenever the team regains possession. Julio Enciso also provided energy from the bench and could have an important role if Paraguay need creativity in attacking areas.
The concern is whether Paraguay can contain Turkey’s technical players for long stretches. The defensive organisation that normally defines Gustavo Alfaro’s teams was absent against the United States. A repeat performance would leave them vulnerable against a Turkish side likely to dominate possession once again.
The best bet for this match is Turkey to win and both teams to score at 4.75 odds. Turkey created enough chances against Australia to suggest a breakthrough performance is not far away, while Paraguay showed resilience by continuing to attack despite falling well behind against the United States. With both teams needing victory, the match should open up as it progresses.
We also find value in backing over 1.5 goals in the second half at 2.50 odds. The importance of the fixture means neither side can settle for a draw if the game remains level entering the final stages. That urgency should create larger spaces and a more aggressive approach after the interval.
Our recommended correct score tip is Turkey 3-1 priced at 19.00 odds. Turkey’s attacking quality gives them the edge, particularly if Yildiz, Guler and Calhanoglu are able to dictate play in advanced areas. Paraguay possess enough counter attacking threat to get on the scoresheet, but Turkey look better equipped to handle the demands of a must win encounter.
