The United States have been involved in goals throughout the last month.

They opened the World Cup with a 4-1 victory over Paraguay before beating Australia 2-0, and recent friendlies also produced scorelines of 3-2 against Senegal and 2-1 against Germany.

Turkey are still searching for their first point of the tournament, but the results alone do not tell the full story.

Against Australia they generated more expected goals despite losing 2-0, and against Paraguay they recorded 32 shots, 16 touches inside the box and 2.17 expected goals but somehow failed to score.

That attacking output is difficult to ignore.

The finishing has not been there, but Turkey continue to create opportunities at a level that suggests goals should eventually follow.

The United States have already scored six goals in two FIFA World Cup matches and rarely approach games with a defensive mindset.

Turkey, meanwhile, have little reason to sit back knowing only a victory would give them any chance of ending the tournament on a positive note.

The Americans have averaged three goals per match in the group stage, while Turkey’s underlying numbers suggest they have been far more dangerous than their goal tally indicates.

With one side already proving it can score and the other creating chances at a high rate, the Over 2.5 goals line looks attractive.
