Turkey vs Portugal Team Overview
Turkey
Turkey opened their Group F EURO2024 account with a dominant 3-1 win over Georgia in an exciting clash.
After taking the lead through Mert Muldur in the 25th minute, Georgia pegged them back in the 32nd minute when Georges Mikautadze managed a fine equalizer. Turkey showed their fighting spirit and resilience and took the lead through Arda Güler in the 65th minute. Muhammed Kerem Aktürkoğlu sealed the win in the seventh minute of added time.
Our EURO 2024 prediction suggests that Turkey will look to retain their good start when they face a good Portuguese side looking to go all the way to the final of the Euros.

Portugal
In their group stage opening match of the European Championship, Portugal had to come from behind to win the three points against a resolute Czechia side. Roberto Martinez’s side will press hard for a second win to seal passage to the knockouts when they face Turkey on Saturday.
Portugal, who started with Cristiano Ronaldo up front, will look to make it back-to-back wins in Group F when they face Turkey. Roberto Martinez is expected to keep the side that overcame Czechia to bolster balance and fluency in their play and create more chances.

| Key Players to Watch | Vitinha and Bruno Fernandes |
| Team Strengths | Solid defensively and assured on the ball |
| Team Weaknesses | Lack of incisive play in the final third |

Turkey vs Portugal Player Focus
The two sets of midfielders will be pivotal in this match as the two sides bid to control this area of the pitch, set the tempo and rhythm of the match, and gain a stranglehold that will give them an edge.
Çalhanoğlu and Ayhan will patrol the midfield for Turkey, looking to put out fires, break down play, prevent Portugal from getting into a rhythm, and dictate every aspect of the match.

Bruno Fernandes and Vitinha will occupy an attacking-looking midfield for Portugal as they bid to control the midfield area and give their side a platform to build on in this match.
Both sides will need to create an overload in the midfield area by having a defender step into midfield or an attacker drop deep.
Turkey vs Portugal Prediction, Tactical Analysis
Roberto Martinez will retain his 3-4-3 formation, which he has adopted since taking the Portuguese job. Dalot and Cancelo will be crucial in providing width in attack and helping to create overloads in wide areas and half spaces, helping his side dominate the match.

However, the two midfielders will be risky, and our EURO 2024 prediction forecasts that Bernando Silva might be asked to drop deep, help add numbers in the middle of the pack, and ensure that they are not outnumbered and outrun.
Vincenzo Montella will keep the 4-2-3-1 formation that earned them a 3-1 win against Georgia. The wide players will tuck in to ensure that their shape is narrow to prevent Portugal from playing through them with ease.
Turkey vs Portugal Prediction
- Football pick: Portugal to win
- Odds: 1.55 (22bet)
- Score prediction: Turkey 1-3 Portugal
Portugal have shown significant promise in their opening match to earn heavy backing in our UEFA EURO 2024 prediction.

With Cristiano Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leão, and Bruno Fernandes in their squad, Portugal are filled with firepower across the pitch.
Turkey have not shown the robustness required to keep Portugal out. Therefore, a Portuguese win is a safe bet.
Turkey vs Portugal Prediction, Betting Tip
- Football Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.8 (22bet)
The two sides’ offensive abilities dominate our EURO 2024 tips ahead of the match on Saturday.
While Portugal have world class firepower up front and are considered one of the favourites to win the tournament, Turkey are also dangerous in the offensive phase. This sets the stage for both sides to score on Saturday.
