Match PreviewPreview: Australia vs Turkey
The reliable Socceroos against one of the tournament’s most exciting young generations.
Australia and Turkey is a meeting of two very different football cultures. The Socceroos are nothing if not reliable — well-drilled, hard-running and fresh from reaching the last 16 in 2022.
Turkey arrive with one of the tournament's most exciting young generations, led by Arda Güler and Hakan Çalhanoğlu, back on the big stage after a long absence and buoyed by a run to the Euro 2024 quarter-finals.
Turkey carry the greater flair; Australia the greater togetherness. An early goal could shape a tight group. Kick-off is 07:00 in Kenya time. Back your team and call the score on the match page.
