Paraguay (0-0-1) vs. Turkey (0-0-1) — Group D Match Preview
Paraguay and Turkey both arrive at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California chasing their first point of Group D after losing their openers, each sitting on zero points with everything still to play for. Under Gustavo Alfaro, Paraguay built their identity on defensive structure and directness during CONMEBOL qualifying. Turkey, meanwhile, return to the tournament for the first time since their famous third-place run in 2002, having come through the UEFA playoff with a 1-0 win over Kosovo under Vincenzo Montella.
The Paraguayan attack runs through Julio Enciso, who has 3 goals and 3 assists in the Conference League this season for Strasbourg, with Miguel Almiron stretching defenses on the flank off the back of 3 assists in MLS. For Turkey the creative weight falls on Arda Guler of Real Madrid and captain Hakan Calhanoglu, the deep-lying engine who runs Inter Milan’s midfield. Paraguay entered the tournament with encouraging recent friendly performances before their opening loss to the United States. With both sides already a defeat behind in the group, the loser here faces a steep climb to reach the knockout rounds.

Players to Watch: Paraguay vs. Turkey
Paraguay
Julio Enciso — Attacking Midfielder. At 22, Enciso is Paraguay’s most dangerous creator, with 3 goals and 3 assists in Conference League play this season for Strasbourg. His 24 shots across 8 starts point to a player who hunts the ball in the final third rather than waiting for it.
Miguel Almiron — Winger. Almiron brings pace and directness on the right, having registered 3 assists across 7 starts in MLS this season with Atlanta United. He has taken 19 shots over that run, a sign he looks to attack the byline and then cut inside to threaten goal himself.
Gustavo Gomez — Center Back. The Palmeiras captain anchors a back line that defined Paraguay’s qualifying campaign, and he is a genuine aerial threat at the other end, with 3 goals across 16 Brazilian Serie A starts this season. Set pieces become an extra weapon whenever he pushes forward.
Turkey
Arda Guler — Attacking Midfielder. A generational playmaker now at Real Madrid, Guler is the player Turkey lean on to unlock packed defenses. His left foot and vision make him the natural fulcrum for Montella’s attack against a Paraguay side that prides itself on tackling.
Hakan Calhanoglu — Midfielder. The captain and deep-lying creator dictates tempo from in front of the defense, the role he has perfected at Inter Milan. His range of passing and dead-ball delivery give Turkey a way to break down a low block.
Kenan Yildiz — Attacking Midfielder. The Juventus forward is one of Turkey’s rising attacking talents and gives Montella a direct runner to pair with the craft of Guler and Calhanoglu. His willingness to drive at defenders adds an unpredictable edge in transition.
