The Socceroos arrive at the tournament with plenty of question marks surrounding their form. While they produced impressive victories over Curaçao (5-1) and Cameroon (1-0), those results were followed by a narrow defeat to Mexico (0-1) and a 1-1 draw against Switzerland.
Earlier, Australia also suffered a disappointing 0-3 loss to Colombia. Their recent record suggests a team capable of competing with strong opponents, but defensive inconsistency remains a concern after conceding six goals across their last five matches.

Turkey, on the other hand, head to the World Cup in high spirits after a strong run of performances. Their unbeaten streak includes a draw against Spain (2-2) and victories over Romania (1-0), Kosovo (1-0), North Macedonia (4-0), and Venezuela (2-1). During that span, the Crescent-Stars have combined solid defensive organization with a productive attack, scoring 10 goals while conceding only three.
This matchup promises to be closely contested, but Turkey appear to have the edge based on recent form. Their confidence, defensive discipline, and attacking quality make them a difficult opponent, while Australia's uneven performances suggest they may struggle to maintain consistency over the full 90 minutes. If Turkey can perform at the level they have shown in recent friendlies, they will have a strong chance of opening their World Cup campaign with a victory.
Turkey to win 1.77
