Key Factors
Turkey significantly underperformed their xG (1.40) against Australia, suggesting a high probability of finding the net if shot creation remains consistent.
Paraguay's defensive structure under Gustavo Alfaro appeared uncharacteristically porous against the USA, conceding four goals and losing their primary tactical identity.
Tactical clash between Turkey's high-possession style (Güler, Çalhanoğlu) and Paraguay's direct counter-attacking approach led by Almirón.
Injuries & Absentees
Turkey is sweating on the fitness of Kenan Yıldız (calf), whose absence reduces their verticality. However, Ferdi Kadıoğlu is fit and remains their main creative outlet from deep. Paraguay faces a major crisis with star man Julio Enciso (thigh) and Ramón Sosa (ankle) both being late fitness tests. If Enciso is limited, Paraguay loses roughly 40% of their expected goal contributions.
