Turkey vs Paraguay — match preview
Turkey meet Paraguay in Group D of the 2026 World Cup. Exciting young Turkish side built around Güler’s creativity.
Paraguay arrive with their own plan. Hardened by CONMEBOL qualifying — disciplined, physical, awkward to play. The match-up between Arda Güler and Miguel Almirón is the headline individual battle.
On paper Turkey have the stronger squad, but World Cup group games are rarely straightforward — the underdog only needs one moment, and the favourite carries the pressure of expectation.
