Turkey and Paraguay are set to square off in a crucial Group D clash at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on Friday night at 11:00 PM ET. Both sides are coming off sobering opening-match defeats and desperately need points to keep their knockout round hopes alive.
Turkey shockingly fell 2-0 to Australia despite controlling most of the game, while Paraguay were demolished 4-1 by the United States – their lone goal came well into garbage time with the result already decided. A loss for either team tonight would leave them on the brink of elimination heading into the final group stage match.
The two nations have met just once before, resulting in a 0-0 draw in Chile at the Copa Centenario in June 1995. This is their first-ever World Cup meeting.

Under 2.5 Goals (-125): Under 2.5 Goals has cashed in each of Paraguay’s last six World Cup matches against UEFA nations – a trend that appears primed to continue tonight.
Paraguay’s lone goal against the United States came in a 3-0 rout at the time; they were effectively shut out for the majority of that match. Turkey, for all their talent on offense, were blanked by Australia despite holding possession for nearly two-thirds of the contest – about as wasteful a performance as you’ll see.
With both teams desperate to avoid another loss, expect a cautious, tightly contested affair. Neither side will be willing to open up and risk conceding. If one team takes the lead, they’ll almost certainly sit back and protect it. At -125, this is a solid number for an ongoing streak in a strong situational spot.
