The match in one line
The United States, hosts and perfect-record leaders, look to lock first place against an eliminated but talent-laden Türkiye that will play without the handbrake.
Türkiye vs United States prediction
Our Türkiye vs United States prediction leans to the USMNT with a 2–1 and medium confidence. The home crowd and the edge of Pulisic and Balogun tilt the balance, though the quality of Güler, Çalhanoglu and Yildiz keeps Türkiye alive and possible USA rotation could level the tie.

Possible lineups
We project the United States in a 4-3-3 with Adams anchoring and Pulisic, Weah and Balogun up top, and Türkiye in a 4-2-3-1 built around Çalhanoglu and Kokçu, with Güler as the playmaker. We’ll confirm the XIs on matchday as soon as the federations release them.
