Turkey's tournament is already over after two scoreless defeats, despite some underlying chance creation (1.73 xG), while the USA march into the final group game on maximum points with six goals scored and a mean defence. The Americans' athleticism and efficiency in transition have been too much for their opponents, and facing a demoralised Turkish side, the opportunity is there for a comfortable victory. The main question is whether Turkey's attacking talent, led by Arda Guler and Kerem Akturkoglu, can finally find the net against a well-drilled US backline. Expect the USA to control proceedings and exploit Turkey's defensive gaps, which have already conceded twice in two games.
USA have won both group games with six goals scored; Turkey are eliminated and scoreless, making an away win the logical outcome.
Turkey's blunt attack (zero goals, despite xG) against a USA defence conceding only one goal suggests another clean sheet; USA's efficiency should produce two goals.
Turkey have failed to score in both matches and face a USA side that has kept one clean sheet and conceded just 0.45 xG against per game.
