Australia vs. Turkiye Best Prop Bet

• Kerem Akturkoglu +200 Anytime Goal

In my best goalscorers to bet on today article, I broke down why I'm betting on Kerem Akturkoglu of Turkiye to find the back of the net:

Türkiye's starting striker is likely to be Kerem Akturkoglu, who is coming off a season where he scored eight goals for Fenerbahce in Türkiye's Süper Lig. He has scored five times in his last 12 appearances for his country.

Australia vs. Turkiye Prediction and Best Bet

In today's edition of my Best World Cup Bets Today, I broke down why I'm confident in backing Turkiye on the three-way moneyline:

Turkiye is a popular dark horse in this year's World Cup and for good reason. They are 8-1-1 in their last 10 matches, with results like a 2-2 draw against World Cup favorite Spain in a qualification match last year and multi-goal wins against the likes of Bulgaria, Georgia, and North Macedonia.

Turkiye has a ton of skill on its team, including Hakan Calhanoglu and Kerem Akturkoglu. They're going to be too much for Australia to handle, so I'll back the Turks on the three-way moneyline.

Pick: Turkiye ML (-145)
