Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
In terms of quality, it's clear that Spain is usually superior to Turkey. However, when Turkey hosts, they can capitalize on it and, yes, Turkey could hold Spain to a draw or even beat them. Moreover, Turkey's current squad is quite good. Arda Guler and his teammates are not to be underestimated. However, I personally still don't dare to favor Turkey, as Spain doesn't seem to be easily defeated.
So, I think a draw is possible, but I'm confident both teams will score.
Another match that will be difficult to predict is Poland vs. Finland. In the previous meeting, Finland managed to win against Poland. However, this time Finland is the host. And now it's Poland's turn to host, and I doubt Finland will win again. I'll probably favor Poland. Lewandowski and his teammates will probably win.

I think Spain will win this match fairly comfortably. They have more rising star players in Europe. Some of their young players are consistently at the top of the summer transfer market. This proves the quality of the players Spain has. And I think they have the upper hand. So, favoring Spain, even though they aren't the host, is still the right choice in my opinion.
And right now, we can see that Spain has a one-goal lead from the opening minutes. And I think there will be at least one or two goals in this match, and one of them will be scored by Spain.
For the Poland vs. Finland match, I won't favor either team because both teams look evenly matched.
