ISTANBUL (Interstat) — The United States aims to continue its dominant run when it faces Turkiye on Thursday, June 25, in a World Cup group-stage matchup that pits a surging visiting side against a host team struggling to find consistent form. The Americans enter the contest riding a two-match winning streak, having outscored opponents 6-1 in their most recent outings. Most recently, the United States defeated Australia 2-0 on June 19. That victory followed a 4-1 win over Paraguay on June 12 at home. Turkiye, meanwhile, has been inconsistent over the past year. Its most recent result was a 2-0 loss to Australia on June 14. Prior to that, the team posted a narrow 1-0 win over Romania on March 26, a 2-2 draw with Spain on Nov. 18, 2025, and a 2-0 victory over Bulgaria on Nov. 15, 2025. A 4-1 win over Georgia on Oct. 14, 2025, and a 6-1 thrashing of Bulgaria on Oct. 11, 2025, demonstrated offensive firepower, but a 6-0 loss to Spain on Sept. 7, 2025, exposed defensive vulnerabilities. Interstat’s game simulator projects a decisive outcome, forecasting a 4-0 victory for the United States, underscoring the Americans’ recent momentum and Turkiye’s defensive struggles against top-tier opposition. Kickoff is set for Thursday at a venue to be announced in Turkiye.
