Turkey vs Paraguay Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Draw
- Odds: +235 (Tonybet)
Turkey were utterly disappointing in their 2026 FIFA World Cup opener.
Dubbed as a potential dark horse before the start of the tournament, the team struggled to create clean scoring chances and suffered a 2-0 loss to Australia despite recording 72% possession, 30 total shots (but just eight on target), and a 1.36 xG compared to their opponents’ 1.18.
Turkey must do a better job in the final third to bounce back here.
Paraguay are another side in dire need of a bounce-back performance after looking completely outmatched in a 4-1 loss to the USA in their WC opener.

They were second best for most of the match and struggled to adjust to the Americans’ intensity. Playing against a Turkish squad that’s loaded with elite European talent is far from ideal for their bounce-back chances, especially after they posted a mere 0.47 xG in their loss to the USA.
Both teams are in urgent need of a response, but neither showed enough quality to believe they might be ready to turn things around. Paraguay can rely on their defensive solidity to get a good result, while Turkey will have to trust their attack and creativity, headlined by Arda Guler and Kenan Yildiz.
With both approaches potentially cancelling each other out from a tactical perspective, don’t be surprised if this game ends in a draw.
Turkey vs Paraguay Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Arda Guler to score anytime
- Odds: +270 (Tonybet)
Guler was Turkey’s best player in the 2-0 defeat against Australia, tallying eight shots, 0.26 xG, and 105 touches overall.
Given that Paraguay feature a compact, physical defensive line, the Real Madrid playmaker could be the difference-maker for Turkey thanks to his outside shooting. He has scored 10 goals in 37 caps for the national team, which are excellent numbers for an attacking midfielder.

Neither team looked at their best in their openers. However, Turkey should’ve had at least one goal given all the chances they created, and Paraguay also managed to score once against the USA.
Turkey had been on an eight-game scoring streak before the loss to Australia, and Paraguay have found the back of the net in each of their last six, making BTTS an attractive selection here.
Even so, this is unlikely to turn into a high-scoring clash. Each of Turkey’s last seven matches has produced under 4.5 total goals, and Paraguay’s run is even longer.

Before the 4-1 loss to the USA, Paraguay had gone 20 straight games without seeing over that line. The threshold is relatively high, but it should hold, as neither team have a dominant attack.
Another market worth considering is corners, with the line set at 7.5. Turkey generated eight corners in the loss to Australia, while Paraguay also have enough crossing volume and wide play to contribute. Based on what both sides showed in the opener, this line has the potential to hit as well.

Turkey Team News
Turkey could get a huge boost in the attacking third, as Yildiz, the Juventus star who came off the bench in the group-stage opener against Australia, should return to the starting lineup.
The main selection decision is who will get the nod upfront, with Kerem Akturkoglu and Baris Alper Yilmaz competing for the role. Akturkoglu, who has scored 15 goals in 53 caps with the national team, appears to have the upper hand.
Paraguay Team News
Paraguay aren’t dealing with any fresh injury concerns for this second group-stage game, with Strasbourg playmaker Julio Enciso confirmed as fully fit.
The lone potential choice-based move could be Mauricio’s presence in the XI. The Brazilian-born playmaker came off the bench last time out and scored a goal, so he could be rewarded with a start here.
