Türkiye's Group D Opponents
WC 2026 Betting Angles for Türkiye
Güler's Real Madrid development has been electric; at +350 for tournament top young player he is compelling value.
Montella's European tactical discipline makes Türkiye slight favourites in their two winnable group games; DC at -140 is solid.
Çalhanoğlu averages 0.45 key passes per game for Inter and is Türkiye's primary creator; assists markets at +170 are underpriced.

Türkiye return to the World Cup for the first time in 20 years under Vincenzo Montella, powered by a genuinely exciting young core in Güler and Yıldız built around the excellence of Çalhanoğlu. CalibrSports gives Türkiye a 42% chance of advancing from Group D — a squad with the tools to surprise but lacking depth beyond their elite trio.
