Game Preview

Puliisic is out for the US team, but to be honest, they have to get used to dealing with rivals without a captain. AC Milan’s star is often injured, and Mauricio Pochettino needs to develop a tactical approach and game plan for situations like this one.

The last two events didn’t end well for the USMNT, who lost to Panama at home, 0-1, and Canada on the road, 2-1. Therefore, this test must be taken with a sense of urgency; otherwise, extending the negative streak would be damaging to the team and its fans.

Turkey beat Hungary in the UEFA Nations League playoffs, staying in their division. They posted back-to-back wins over their rivals, 3-1 at home and 0-3 in Budapest.

Their games are efficient, and four of the past five have ended with three or more goals. The Turkish team boasts many young prospects who already hold key roles in their clubs, and as time passes, if everything goes as planned, they could become a force in European football.

USA vs. Turkey Head to Head

The last time the two met was in 2014, also in a friendly, when USA won 2-1. Since 2003, the two sides have faced each other three times, with the USA winning twice and Turkey once. All the results were the same, 2-1.

USA vs. Turkey Predictions

The USA has enough talent to score goals even without Pulisic, and that will happen because Turkey’s defense isn’t that strong. Meanwhile, we expect to see the Turks netting at least once because of their offensive potential. That would be our final pick here, both teams to score.
