Turkey and the USA meet Thursday in World Cup action at SoFi Stadium. Here’s a USA vs Turkey Prediction. This article will include a USA vs Turkey Pick.
Turkey Betting Preview
Turkey is playing for pride at this point after already being eliminated with losses to Paraguay and Australia. It’s been a frustrating World Cup after Turkey produced a combined 62 shots and has yet to score. Turkey is now in danger of three straight losses for the first time since Euro 2020. This is a talented group on paper, as you can do worse than Arda Guler, Kenan Yıldız and Hakan Calhanoglu, but things just haven’t come together at either side of the pitch, and it can’t feel great at the moment.
USA Betting Preview
USA beat Paraguay and Australia and have already locked up a spot in the elimination stages. Along with pride, the USA now has a chance to win its three matches in the group stages for the first time ever. The United States has dominated possession in both games and produced a combined 26 shot attempts. The defense has allowed a combined 1 goal and 14 shot attempts. There’s excitement in the air as this is the best team USA has played in quite some time, but this match is a chance to fine-tune things before the pressure turns up in the knockout stage.
USA vs Turkey H2H
Turkey and the USA have split the previous five meetings 2-2-1. Turkey won the most recent match in a friendly last year, while the United States won a friendly in 2014. USA won a 2010 friendly, and Turkey won a 2003 Confederations Cup match. The draw came in a 1991 friendly. All of the winning results finished with a 2-1 score.
USA vs Turkey Prediction
It’s hard to back Turkey when it’s been super aggressive offensively and has yet to find the back of the net. If the USA gets off to a strong start, we could see Turkey throw in the towel. Team USA can’t afford to relax just because it’s already advanced to the next round, as it has to keep that edge if it hopes to make a deeper, surprising run. The home crowd of California should help with that. You have to be impressed with how the hosts look through two matches. I’ll ride the momentum and lay the low price with the United States.
