FIFA World Cup Betting Preview: Australia vs Turkey
Australia square off against Turkey in this FIFA World Cup Group D encounter at BC Place in Vancouver, with kick-off set for 00:00 on Sunday 14 June.
Group D consists of USA, Paraguay, Australia and Turkey. USA and Turkey are the joint-favourites to win the group, with Paraguay rated as the next strongest side and Australia considered the outsiders.
There’s every chance that Turkey can get the upper hand over Australia and we’ll therefore back them when it comes to Full-Time Result. The odds of -143 look too good to resist.
Turkey possess a creative midfield that should give them a clear edge in this contest. Led by experienced playmaker Hakan Calhanoglu and Real Madrid star Arda Guler, Vincenzo Montella's side have the quality to control possession and dictate the tempo.
By contrast, Australia are in a period of transition, with a large number of players set to make their World Cup debuts. The Socceroos also showed signs of vulnerability during their pre-tournament friendlies, reinforcing the belief that Turkey hold the stronger hand heading into this clash.
Australia secured their place at the World Cup by finishing second behind Japan during the third round of AFC qualifying. They signed off their qualifying campaign with a 2-1 victory away to Saudi Arabia.
Australia beat Cameroon 1-0 and Curacao 5-1 in the FIFA Series in March. Following their arrival in the United States, the Socceroos continued their World Cup preparations with a 1-0 victory over Mexico in Pasadena before drawing 1-1 with Switzerland in San Diego.
Turkey fell short of automatic qualification after finishing runners-up to Spain in their qualifying group. However, they secured their place at the World Cup via the UEFA play-offs, beating Romania 1-0 at home before overcoming Kosovo by the same scoreline away.
In the play-off final, Turkey enjoyed 56% possession and registered two shots on target, with Kerem Akturkoglu scoring the decisive goal early in the second half.
Turkey have played two friendlies in June ahead of the World Cup, defeating North Macedonia 4-0 in Istanbul before beating Venezuela 2-1 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
Head-to-Head Statistics
Australia and Turkey have met twice previously, with both encounters coming in friendly matches in May 2004. Turkey won 3-1 in the first meeting before following up with a 1-0 victory.
