Turkey vs. Portugal Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Turkey vs. Portugal at EURO 2024

Where: Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund, Germany
When: Sunday, June 23, 12:00 AM

Turkey won the opening match in the 20204 EURO, and so did Selecao. While the Crescent Stars didn’t have too many problems against Georgia, Portugal had to dig deep in order to win and secure three points. The Czech Republic gave them a hard time, yet Ronaldo and the boys posted a win. Whoever ends up with a victory here, would pretty much secure the top spot in this group.

Turkey vs. Portugal Preview

Turkey

After five consecutive matches without a triumph, Turkey managed to snap that cold streak. And may we add that Stefan Kuntz’s boys did that in the most important moment, opening the door to the knockout stage of the 2024 EURO.

Young Arda Guler showed his incredible potential, and we say that not just because of his magnificent goal but also because of his overall performance. Real once again snatched a diamond which will, with a little luck, shine for many years to come.

Georgia isn’t a high-class rival, but the Turks’ win here can’t and won’t be diminished because they didn’t slow down for a single moment, even when Georgia cut the lead.

Portugal

The way Portugal started the game made us believe they were going to win without any problems. Still following a goalless first half, we saw a shocker early in the second when the Czechs took the lead.

Several minutes later, Selecao leveled, and from that moment on, it was all about them. Ronaldo and the guys attacked, created chances, missed them and some goals were disallowed also. In the end, Chico Conceicao netted a dagger in the second minute of overtime to bring three points to his team.

Ronaldo was agile, Leao as well. Milan’s player was maybe the best on the field, as he constantly created difference on his side. We saw Selecao dictating the pace and trying to score, constantly trying the break the rival’s defense.

Turkey vs Portugal Head to Head

Turkey vs. Portugal Predictions

The Turks are aggressive and pretty motivated, but that sometimes isn’t a key factor in one victory. Portugal’s strength is way greater, so we have to bet on their victory in this event. We also believe that Turkey’s defense simply isn’t capable of restraining Leao, Ronaldo, and the boys because it is a bit slower than they are.

Our verdict: Portugal wins
