The AI prediction favored a United States win, which did not materialize, highlighting the unpredictable nature of friendly matches. The AI prediction had the United States win probability at 47.3% and Turkey's at just 26.8%. This loss breaks the United States' recent pattern of alternating wins and losses, and is a continuation of losing form, given the two previous losses in the Concacaf Nations League. Turkey, on the other hand, have been in good form recently, winning 3 of their last 5 games, including the last two matches before this one.
Looking ahead, the United States will face Switzerland in another International Friendly on June 10, 2025. Considering the United States' recent struggles and Switzerland's decent form, the upcoming match could prove challenging for the US team, despite their slightly higher rate. The last head-to-head games between United States and Switzerland were tight, with Switzerland winning the most recent match 2-1.
Turkey does not have a scheduled game at this moment, but the victory against United States will probably boost their morale and improve their team chemistry. It will allow them to go to their next official competition with high hopes.
Analyzing past games, the United States struggled in the Concacaf Nations League, losing both matches against Canada and Panama. Turkey, meanwhile, have been performing well in the UEFA Nations League, winning against Hungary and Iceland. The previous head-to-head encounters between the United States and Turkey in friendly matches have been close, with the United States winning both matches by a 2-1 score.

The US team hopes that the young striker, Ricardo Pepi, will continue his good run of form. He will be crucial to unlocking the Turkish defense. The recent form for the United States has been inconsistent, with two losses in the Concacaf Nations League against Canada and Panama, contrasting with victories against Costa Rica and Venezuela in friendlies. Turkey, however, have shown better form, winning three of their last five games, all in the UEFA Nations League. However, they will be missing their key midfielder, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, due to a minor injury. Both teams will be aiming to fine-tune their strategies and build team cohesion in this friendly encounter. Historically, the United States have had the upper hand in their head-to-head matches, winning both of their last two encounters against Turkey.
