USMNT vs Turkey: Preview, Prediction, Lineups & How and Where to Watch | OneFootball

We are already reaching the end of the World Cup group stage; time really flies.

Many national teams are fighting for a place in the Round of 32, while others are already packing their bags to head home after their final match.

In just a few hours, the USMNT will face Turkey to close out Group D. Mauricio Pochettino's side has already secured its place in the next round, meaning whatever happens tonight will not change its position in the knockout stage.

Right now, the only player in doubt is Christian Pulisic. However, recent reports suggest he has recovered from his injury, although nothing has been confirmed.

Nevertheless, join us for this USMNT vs Turkey preview. In this article, we will discuss the latest news, provide information on how to watch the game, and present the predicted formation.

Score Prediction

The USMNT indeed has nothing at stake in this match. Even so, Pochettino will demand a victory, as a strong performance could put several players in contention for more minutes once the knockout stage begins.

On the other side, I expect a Turkish team disappointed after being eliminated from the World Cup, but still with a midfield prepared to control possession.

At the same time, its defense will play with the same aggression as always. However, the US players must be careful with the physical battles throughout the match.
