Turkey and Paraguay face each other in a crucial World Cup Round 2 clash, with both teams desperate to bounce back from disappointing opening-match defeats. As Paraguay struggled defensively against USA, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 home win. Vincenzo Montella's side suffered a frustrating 2-0 loss to Australia despite completely dominating large spells of the game. The Crescent-Stars fired an astonishing 30 goal attempts but somehow failed to find the back of the net, leaving them under pressure heading into this encounter. Montella is expected to make several changes to his starting XI, with Juventus youngster Kenan Yildiz pushing for a recall after starting on the bench in the opener.
Paraguay, meanwhile, were outclassed in a 4-1 defeat to the USA. La Albirroja struggled both defensively and offensively, rarely looking capable of troubling the Americans. Star man Miguel Almiron endured a difficult evening and will need to raise his level considerably if Paraguay are to keep their qualification hopes alive. The South Americans have been inconsistent in recent months, winning only four of their last ten matches and conceding 1.3 goals per game on average.
Turks created 30 attempts against Australia and should be rewarded if they show similar attacking intent. Therefore, Home Win should be considered alongside Turkey Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Turkey average 3.8 total goals per game over their last ten matches, while Paraguay conceded four in the opener).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Saturday 20 June 2026 at 04:00.
