Turkey vs Paraguay Betting Odds
7bet offers competitive betting odds for all FIFA World Cup matches, including this fixture.
Please note that the odds mentioned below are accurate as of the publishing time of the article.
1X2 Odds
| Turkey (1) | X | Paraguay (2) |
| 1/1 | 9/4 | 8/3 |
This is one of the most common markets in football betting. Bettors can pick one out of three possible outcomes:
- 1: Home team (Turkey) wins
- X: Draw
- 2: Away team (Paraguay) wins
If your chosen outcome is successful, your bet pays out based on the odds provided by the bookmaker. UK sportsbooks use fractional odds, where the denominator indicates the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return.
If you examine the Turkey vs Paraguay betting odds in the 1X2 market, the odds are 1/1 for Turkey, 8/3 for Paraguay, and 9/4 for a draw. In fractional odds, the denominator is the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return. This means a successful bet on Turkey will pay an even return of a pound for a pound. Correctly predicting Paraguay’s win at 8/3 odds will pay £8 for every £3, and a draw pays £9 for every £4. Stakes on winning bets are also refunded.
Upon simplifying the odds, bets on Turkey pay £1, while bets on Paraguay pay £2.6 per pound. This means bookmakers consider Turkey to be stronger in this fixture, which is why bets on this team pay a low return. When an outcome is considered more likely, it is given “short” odds. On the other hand, teams with a low chance of winning are given “long” odds, which pay more.
However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t bet on Paraguay. Odds don’t affect the actual outcome. Research both teams’ form before placing your bets. You can also consider safer markets like Double Chance or Handicap for a favourable return.
Double Chance
| Turkey or Draw | Turkey or Paraguay | Draw or Paraguay |
| 1/4 | 3/10 | 9/13 |
Double Chance is a variation of the 1X2 market. Bettors can pick two out of three outcomes simultaneously:
- Turkey or Draw (1X): This bet loses if Paraguay wins.
- Turkey or Paraguay (12): Loses if the game ends in a draw.
- Draw or Paraguay (X2): This bet loses if Turkey wins.
Consider this market if you believe we’ll see a tightly contested game on Saturday, and predicting a result may be difficult.
Your probability of winning in Double Chance is higher than 1X2, since you get to pick more options. But this also means that your payout will be lower, as your chances of winning are higher. You have a 66% probability of winning in this market (betting on 2 out of 3 outcomes) compared to 1X2’s 33%.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Turkey (-0.5) | Paraguay (+0.5) |
| 20/21 | 20/27 |
| Turkey (+0.75) | Paraguay(-0.75) |
| 1/6 | 7/2 |
| Turkey (-1.75) | Paraguay (+1.75) |
| 15/4 | 2/13 |
A handicap bet is designed to give an advantage to your chosen team and a similar disadvantage to the other team. For example, you award a +1 advantage to Paraguay. This means 1 point will be added to their final goal tally. Similarly, 1 point will be taken away from Turkey. So, if the match ends 2–1, the handicap adjusted score will be read as 1–2.
Adding a handicap ensures your chosen team gets a head start. However, it is important to consider the goal difference when selecting a handicap. The bigger the handicap, the bigger the goal margin needs to be for the other team to overcome the gap.
Here are a few examples of how your bet will pay out with different handicaps:
- Turkey (-0.5) / Paraguay (+0.5): Bets on Paraguay win in case of a draw.
- Turkey (+0.75) / Paraguay (-0.75): Bets on Turkey win if they win, draw, or lose by one goal, as a score of 0–1 will be adjusted to 0.75–0.25. Paraguay will need to win by a two-goal margin to beat the handicap.
- Turkey (-1.75) / Paraguay (+1.75): Paraguay gets a three-goal advantage as a score of 3–0 will be adjusted as 1.25–1.75. Turkey will need to win with a four-goal margin to overcome the gap (4–0 becomes 2.25–1.75).
Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 8/9 | 9/11 |
Consider the clean sheets (when the opposition team’s score is zero) for both teams in this market. Both teams kept four clean sheets in their last 10 matches.
These statistics will help you decide how to pick the Turkey vs Paraguay odds in the BTTS market. The higher the clean sheets, the higher the chances for BTTS No bets. This market wins if the final score has a zero, like 0–0, 2–0, 0–1, etc.
Choose BTTS “Yes” if you believe that the score will be at least 1–1 or higher, meaning both teams will score at least once. Choose the “No” bet if you think either one or both teams will keep a clean sheet on Saturday.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 11/10 | 4/6 |
For this fixture, the default betting line is set at Over/Under 2.5, and the goal total can be adjusted between Over/Under 0.5 and 4.5.
In the above example, an Over 2.5 bet pays if the combined goal total is three or higher. An Under 2.5 bet pays if the combined goal total is two or lower. For example, scores like 2–1, 2–2, 3–0, etc., will pay out for the Over 2.5 bet. Similarly, scores like 0–2, 0–0, 2–0, 1–1 will pay out for an Under 2.5 bet.
Turkey averaged 2.2 goals in their last 10 matches. Paraguay averaged 1.3 goals in the same period. This brings their average combined goal total to 3.5, which is over the 2.5 betting line. Use this data when considering the Turkey vs Paraguay odds in the Over/Under market.
Correct Score Odds
| Correct Score | Turkey vs Paraguay Odds |
| 0–0 | 15/2 |
| 1–0 | 17/3 |
| 1–1 | 5/1 |
| 0–1 | 9/1 |
| 2–0 | 8/1 |
| 0–2 | 19/1 |
| 2–2 | 15/1 |
In the Correct Score market, bettors need to predict the precise final score. This can be a difficult market to bet on as it involves risk and guesswork. You can adjust the betting line between 0 and +5 goals for both teams on our page, as per your analysis, to select the final score. We suggest betting only small amounts here due to the risk.
