Turkey will face Paraguay in the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday, June 19, 2026. The Group D clash will begin at 11 p.m. ET at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium on FS1.
Both nations lost their first match by multiple goals, and either could be eliminated if they lose on Friday.
Turkey would be eliminated in the event of a defeat and a victory or draw for the United States, while Paraguay would be eliminated in the event of a defeat and a victory or draw for Australia.
Turkey was upset by Australia in their first match, losing 2-0 in a match in which they controlled 71% of the possession and outshot Australia 30-9. Turkey are the team with the most shots without scoring in a World Cup match since Portugal managed 31 in the 2006 quarter-finals against England.
Meanwhile, after not conceding more than two goals in total in any of 18 CONMEBOL qualifying matches, Paraguay conceded three first-half goals in a 4-1 loss to the United States.
The only good news from the opening match is that Julio Enciso, on a stretcher during the last preparation match against Nicaragua, played the full 90 minutes.

Türkiye vs. Paraguay prediction, choice
From FOX sports betting analyst Chris “The Bear” Fallica:
- With both at zero points, someone has to win here, otherwise there will be a lot of pressure on them in the final group game to get three points and advance. Paraguay were terrible against the USA and Turkey had plenty of non-threatening shots against Australia. Expect both to score here in what could be a pretty open match.
