FIFA World Cup Same Game Parlay Picks Today 6/13: Turkey vs Australia Parlay +375

It’s been a long time since Turkey's run to the semifinals of the men’s FIFA World Cup. That happened in 2002, and since then, the Crescent Stars haven’t even qualified. But as they make their return to soccer’s greatest stage, they offer the most value from this FIFA World Cup same game parlay play.

Turkey have looked a sharp side over the past two years. The Turks ripped through qualifying, only failing to beat Spain. That sent them through the playoffs, where they handled Romania and Kosovo to earn their slot. The Turks reached the quarterfinals of Euros two years ago, and looked strong in doing so. They’ve got plenty of value in making a run and in winning this match.

Australia, meanwhile, haven’t looked great leading up to the World Cup. The Soccerroos have struggled on American soil, losing four of their five preparatory matches. That includes a defeat to Venezuela, which has never qualified for a World Cup.

Here’s a look at this men’s FIFA World Cup same game parlay play from Vancouver.

FIFA World Cup Same Game Parlay: Turkey vs. Australia (+375, BetMGM)

• Turkey moneyline

• No on Both Teams to Score

• Turkey Over 14.5 Shots

After the United States’ win over Paraguay, both Turkey and Australia will like their odds to advance from Group D. That means underdog Australia will likely play more cautiously, in hopes of either getting a draw or a slim loss. Either would keep their chances to advance alive, as both will like their odds to handle Paraguay.

Turkey, as the stronger side on paper, will want to press the issue. They’ve shown a willingness to do that anyway leading up to this match. In three of their past four matches, Turkey took at least 15 attempts at goal. In their win over North Macedonia, the Turks fired 20 shots at the target.

The lone exception was Kosovo, but that match was an outlier. It was a true road fixture, and that was a winner-take-all match for the World Cup. This will have a neutral crowd and far lower stakes.

Turkey other goal is to give itself the best chance to win the group. Doing so would maximize its chances of a run in the knockout stages. The Crescent Stars play Paraguay next, and should be on six points when they face the USMNT. Getting maximum points and a healthy goal differential would let the Turks dictate tempo when they face the Americans.

Aussies Could Struggle to Score

Australia doesn’t appear great value for a goal here. The Soccerroos have scored one goal or fewer in nine of their past 12 matches. The three sides they scored multiple goals against weren’t strong. Only New Zealand, Curacao and Saudi Arabia allowed multiple goals to Australia. All three did qualify, but none are expected to last very long.

Most likely, Australia’s defense will hold until somewhere between 40 and 60 minutes into the match. The Aussies conceded the winner at 51 minutes against the USMNT, and they gave up three second-half markers to Colombia.

Additionally, Turkiye has shown a remarkable nose for goal coming into the second half. In seven of their past eight matches, the Crescent Stars have scored between the 52nd and 54th minutes. If the Aussies fall behind by two goals at that stage, they’ll likely look to play conservatively and protect their goal differential so they still have a chance to advance.
