Turkiye vs Portugal: Euro 2024 Prediction & Betting Tips

🏆 Turkiye vs Portugal: Who Will Win?

Turkey are always looked at as one of the dark horses when they qualify for any big international football competition, but in recent years they have flattered to deceive. However, they have already done better than they did last time as they did not win a single game at Euro 2020, conceding eight goals and scoring just the one. They will be confident of making it out of the group this time as they have some top players in their ranks, including the likes of Çalhanoğlu, Yıldız, Güler, and Bardakcı.

For me, Portugal have one of the most unlikeable squads in the tournament, but there is no denying the fact that they have some serious talent. Ronaldo and Pepe might be getting on a bit in age, but they are still very important cogs in Roberto Martinez's system. Then they also have the likes of Leao, Fernandes, Dias, and Cancelo, who are all playing for some of the biggest teams in world football. They have quality all over the pitch, and a team will need to put in a flawless display to overcome them.

I do not think Turkiye will be able to cope with Portugal's attacking threat, so this should see Martinez's men pick up their second win. As for the scoreline, I can see Portugal coming out as 3-1 winners.

⚽ Turkiye vs Portugal: Both Teams To Score Odds

The bookies might not think Turkiye stand a chance in this game, but it is not all doom and gloom for their fans as the bookmakers do believe that both teams will score in this game. With the young attacking talent that Turkiye have, I see where they are coming from. Below are the both teams to score odds:

Regarding the over/under 2.5 goals market, my five selected bookies believe that there will be at least three goals scored in this game. From the odds that they have provided for these three markets, we can deduce that they believe that the most likely outcome for this match is a 2-1 win for the Portuguese. Below are the over/under 2.5 goals odds:

Over/Under 2.5 Goals

Under 2.5	2.01	2.01	1.95	1.89	1.95

1️⃣Turkiye Update

Turkiye fans will be hopeful that their young team will be able to get out of the group stage this time around as their last attempt at doing so was embarrassing to say the very least. A win would be the best outcome here, but a draw would give them a valuable point in their quest for the Round of 16. They had a hard game against Georgia, so I can only see them struggling against a much better Portugal side. However, I hope my prediction is wrong as I do not like this Portugal team.

The player that Portugal will be most wary of is Guler as he has been labelled the "Turkish Messi" by some - very high praise indeed. The 19-year-old is currently on the books at Real Madrid, which tells you all that you need to know about his talent. Below are Turkiye's previous five results:

Vincenzo Montella has one injury issue to contend with, and you can see who this is below:

2️⃣ Portugal Update

Although I am not a fan of this Portuguese team, I give them a really good shot of making it to the semi-finals or the final. In fact, with the players that they have at their disposal, anything less than making it to the last eight of the competition should be seen as a failure. They were a bit rusty against the Czechs, but they should get better as the tournament wears on.

Ronaldo is one player to look out for, but I am always eager to see Leao play as the Milan winger blends skills with plenty of pace. If Turkiye give him too much room, he will roast them alive. Below are their previous five results:

Martinez has no injuries or suspensions that he needs to think about when selecting his playing XI.
