The Socceroos made the round-of-16 last time out, despite losing their opening group game. In fact, Australia have only won their opening group game of the World Cup once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turkey, meanwhile, are back at the World Cup after a 24-year absence, following on from their bronze medal in 2002. This will be just their third World Cup overall, being knocked out of the group stage on debut in 1954.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These nations have met twice before, with both games coming in a friendly double-header in May 2004. Turkey won both matches, which were played in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-toplist\">\n        <div class=\"sq-toplist__items\">\n\t\t\t    <div\n            class=\"sq-toplist__item\"\n            data-entity-id=\"1381273\"\n            data-offer-id=\"1381470\"\n    >\n\t\t        <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-container\">\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"logo\" class=\"sq-toplist__logo\" style=\"background:#01644a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/29162841\/bet365.svg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Bet365 Logo\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer-box\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__bookmaker\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"brand_name\">bet365<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-tablet-visible\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Use Bonus Code SQUAWKA365<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-mobile-visible\">\n                    <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Use Bonus Code SQUAWKA365<\/a>                <\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"cta\" class=\"sq-btn sq-btn--secondary sq-btn--full\">Claim Offer<\/a>                <div class=\"sq-rating\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__text\">Our Score<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__value\">9.5<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/bet365-review\/\" class=\"sq-review-link\">\n                    <span>Read our review<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t        <ul class=\"sq-toplist__features\">\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Bet \u00a310 get \u00a330<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Excellent Football Betting Options<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Extensive Bet-Builder<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Multi-Award Winning Bookmaker<\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t            <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-tc\"><p>New customers can sign up using bonus code SQUAWKA365, bet \u00a310 and get \u00a330 in Free Bets.

But it was more about getting the players up to fitness and finalising any key details. Australia will go with a back three, which has stayed the same across the two friendlies. Harry Souttar wil captain the side from centre-back, joined by Alessandro Circati and Lucas Herrington, with Mathew Ryan in goal behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the difficulty of the opponent, Australia may opt to go more reserved with deeper full-backs rather than attacking wing-backs. So Jacob Italiano and Jordan Bos should start on the right and left, respectively. Aiden O&#8217;Neill will be one of the deeper midfielders protecting the defence and is one of the first names on the teamsheet. Tony Popovic has tried a few different options for his partner, and Jackson Irvine may win that battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia do have depth in their attack, especially on the wings. Connor Metcalfe is another favourite of Popovic and has moved around the team depending on the system needed. He was used on the left of the midfield in a friendly against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/world-cup\/mexico-world-cup-2026-fixtures-squad-analysis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mexico<\/a>, and may continue there. Mathew Leckie will start on the right, with Mohamed Toure likely to lead the line.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Bet \u00a310 &amp; Get \u00a330 in Free Bets with Bet365<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to bet365 yet?

They went for a back three in their first game against North Macedonia, before reverting to a 4-2-3-1 in the win over Venezuela. Turkey are expected to continue with the 4-2-3-1, but Vincenzo Montella will be happy to know he has options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ugurcan Cakir looks set to be Turkey&#8217;s No.1 goalkeeper for the tournament, beating Altay Bayindir and Mert Gunok. The back four looks pretty settled to. Zeki Celik and Eren Elmali are set to start as the full-backs, with Ozan Kabak and Abdulkerim Bardakci the centre-back pairing. But the likes of Caglar Soyuncu, Merih Dermiral and Samet Akaydin will be fighting for their spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orkun Kokcu is a guaranteed starter in Turkey&#8217;s midfield and Hakan Calhanoglu is expected to play alongside him. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/internazionale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inter Milan<\/a> midfielder did not start either pre-tournament friendly, but he did join up late due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/serie-a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Serie A<\/a> commitments. Arda Guler and Baris Alper Yilmaz are the young stars of Turkey&#8217;s attacking line and they&#8217;ll be looking to play with freedom. Deniz Gul is expected to lead the line, with Irfan Can Kahveci on the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-australia-vs-turkey-predicted-lineups\">Australia vs Turkey predicted lineups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Australia (5-4-1): <\/strong>Ryan; Herrington, Circati, Souttar; Alex Sandro; Guimaraes, Casemiro; Luiz Henrique, Raphinha, Vinicius Jr; Cunha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Turkey (4-2-3-1): <\/strong>Cakir; Celik, Kabak, Bardakci, Emali; Kokcu, Calhanoglu; Kahveci, Guler, Yilmaz; Gul.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/world-cup-2026-betting-tips-predictions\/\"><strong>World Cup predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/world-cup-outright-odds\/\"><strong>World Cup outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/world-cup-2026-fixtures-results\/\"><b>World Cup fixtures &amp; results<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/world-cup-2026-betting-offers\/\"><b>World Cup free bets<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia and Turkey will get their 2026 World Cup campaigns underway when they face off on Sunday at 5am (UK time).
