Following similar starts to their global showpiece campaign, where both nations suffered their first defeats, Turkey and Paraguay will be hoping for improved results when they clash at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. La Albirroja are known for their defensive resilience, and this is a side that held Turkey to a goalless draw in their first meeting in 1995. This strengthens our prediction for a low-scoring affair.
Turkey did not make a great start in their first global showpiece appearance since 2002. The European nation was a favourite to claim their first three points against Australia in the opening group stage game, but defeat at the hands of Tony Popovic's men has left them on the brink of missing out on automatic qualification to the knockout stages.
Paraguay also suffered the same fate as their opponents in this clash and are out to redeem themselves with a comfortable win. Their opponents in the first round were co-hosts USA, who embarrassed them in Los Angeles, winning 4-1. Will they be able to get past this result and secure a win? Let's find out below!

Turkiye - Paraguay: Form Analysis
Head coach Vincenzo Montella would have hoped for a more convincing performance from his side in their opening match in the global showpiece against Australia, where they suffered a disheartening 2-0 defeat.
The Crescent-Stars dominated the match from start to finish and even controled 72% of ball possession. However, with 30 attempts at goal it was evident that they lacked the cutting edge in the final third.
That outcome brought an end to their eight-match unbeaten run, including a run of four consecutive wins.
Turkey and Paraguay are meeting for the first time since June 1995.
Paraguay's first appearance on the grandest stage in world football after a 16-year absence didn't go according to the way they wished. The expectation was to at least avoid defeat or record their first win, which would've put them in the driving seat of securing automatic qualification to the knockout stages.
La Albirroja's opening match in Group D was against the USA. They were outplayed in all aspects of the game and had to pay the ultimate price, which came in the form of a 4-1 defeat. This marked their fourth straight loss against this opponent.
Before this outcome, they had won three of their last four matches. Heading into this clash, the objective couldn't be clearer: bounce back and restore confidence after a dismal start.

Turkiye & Paraguay Squad Analysis
Turkey were unlucky not to have won that match, let alone scored, as they were the more convincing side compared to Australia. It's unlikely that head coach Vincenzo Montella will make any changes to that starting XI, with a familiar line-up expected once again.
The Real Madrid star Ardar Guler was hungry for a goal in that match as he tested opposing goalkeeper Patrick Beach, who made crucial saves. The 21-year-old recorded eight total shots and three found the target.
Hakan Calhanoglu can't be left out as the Inter Milan midfielder made four key passes and had an 89% accurate pass rate and made 73% accurate passes in the final third. He is expected to retain his place alongside Ismail Yuksek in defensive midfield roles.
Julio Enciso is expected to play another full 90 minutes after providing an assist which Mauricio's slotted in.
Head coach Gustavo Alfaro has a lot of thinking to do regarding his starting XI after his side, Paraguay, was thrashed 4-1 by the USA in the Group D opener.
Mauricio came off the bench, replacing Damian Bobadilla, to score a consolation goal, which will be one of the few takeaways from an otherwise disappointing performance. He might start this one off the bench this time around.
Anchoring the front line will be Paraguay's star player, Julio Enciso, who provided the assist in the disheartening defeat, while Antonio Sanabria is expected to provide the support.

Our Turkiye vs Paraguay Prediction
Turkey are once again favorites to secure their first win in this competition after a setback in the opening match. It's possible they could take all three points here, but given their last performance last time out with Australia were signs of struggles in the final third, leaving questions over their ability to convert chances into goals.
Paraguay, meanwhile, was not clinical enough in the final third, where they registered just one shot on target. That's a bit of a concern as this could see them drop yet another valuable point in a tightly contested affair. Our Turkey vs Paraguay prediction: less than 2.5 goals.
