Turkey: Recent Form
Turkey arrive at this fixture having won four of their last six internationals (W4 D0 L2), accumulating 2.0 points per match across that stretch. They have scored 8 goals and conceded just 4, keeping three clean sheets in six outings — a defensive record that underlines their solidity when at their best. However, their two most recent results are losses: a 0–1 home defeat to Paraguay on 20 June and a 0–2 away loss to Australia on 14 June, meaning they head into the World Cup match on the back of consecutive defeats and having failed to score in both.
- 20 Jun 2026 (H) vs Paraguay — 0–1 (L)
- 14 Jun 2026 (A) vs Australia — 0–2 (L)
- 06 Jun 2026 (A) vs Venezuela — 2–1 (W)
- 01 Jun 2026 (H) vs North Macedonia — 4–0 (W)
USA: Recent Form
The USA have a more mixed recent record — three wins and three losses from their last six matches (W3 D0 L3) — but their scoring output stands out. They have netted 12 goals in six matches at an average of 2.0 per match, though they have also conceded 12, giving them an identical goals-against average. With just one clean sheet in six, their defensive vulnerability is clear. Their two most recent results are encouraging, however: a 2–0 home win over Australia on 19 June and a 4–1 thrashing of Paraguay on 13 June, giving them 1.5 points per match across the period.
- 19 Jun 2026 (H) vs Australia — 2–0 (W)
- 13 Jun 2026 (H) vs Paraguay — 4–1 (W)
- 06 Jun 2026 (H) vs Germany — 1–2 (L)
- 31 May 2026 (H) vs Senegal — 3–2 (W)

How Turkey and USA Compare
Turkey’s defensive record over their last six matches is considerably tighter than the USA’s — conceding just 4 goals against the Americans’ 12 — though Turkey’s attacking output (8 goals) is well below the USA’s 12. The USA have been far more prolific in front of goal but have struggled to keep things locked at the back, while Turkey’s form dipped sharply in their final two pre-tournament fixtures despite an otherwise solid run. Both sides come in with momentum questions: Turkey off two straight defeats without scoring, and the USA having bounced back with back-to-back wins after a patchy mid-period.
