Turkey drew 2–2 with the Netherlands in a thrilling Matchday 1 result that showed their quality and attacking intent. Hakan Çalhanoglu controls the tempo from deep and Arda Güler’s creativity in the final third makes Turkey a genuine threat. They need a win here to keep pace with USA at the top of Group D.
Paraguay were hammered 4–1 by USA in Matchday 1 and are already in must-win territory. Miguel Almirón provides their most creative outlet but struggled to influence against a high-pressing USA side. Their defensive shape was exposed repeatedly and Turkey’s movement will ask similar questions.
Turkey have enough quality to beat a Paraguay side that is already on the back foot. Çalhanoglu and Güler are the difference-makers. Both teams to score adds value — Paraguay will find the net even in defeat.
