Türkiye vs Portugal predictions
With only eight teams suffering elimination in the group phase of a 24-team European Championship, a tally of four points is almost always enough to advance to the round of 16.
Both Türkiye and Portugal were victorious on matchday one, so a draw here would be mutually beneficial. Yet make no mistake: both sides will be looking to win their head-to-head encounter this weekend.
Portugal left it late to overcome the Czech Republic last time out. They actually fell behind in that game, as Lukas Provod put the underdogs ahead in the 62nd minute.
The Czechs’ resistance was finally broken a few minutes later, as an own goal from Robin Hranac restored parity on the night.
And just when Ivan Hasek’s team were beginning to believe they had done enough to collect a hard-earned point, Francisco Conceicao popped up to win the game for Portugal in second-half stoppage time.
It was certainly not the type of comfortable opening clash that Roberto Martinez had hoped for. He will obviously have been pleased that his side found a way to come out on top, but the overall performance will have left him with plenty to think about.
As for Türkiye, their 3-1 triumph over Georgia was perhaps the match of the tournament so far. An absorbing affair was not settled until deep into injury time, when Kerem Akturkoglu rolled the ball into the empty Georgia net after the underdogs had been pushing for a leveller.
Before that, Türkiye scored two wonderful goals through Mert Muldur and Arda Guler. After a series of drab performances at Euro 2020, this was a much more vibrant display from the Crescent Stars.
Both teams have given themselves breathing space by triumphing in their first matches of the tournament. The winner of this contest will be through to the round of 16 with a game to spare.
Türkiye vs Portugal betting tips
Türkiye and Portugal will both be looking to make it two wins from two this weekend.
Cristiano Ronaldo to score and Portugal to win – 20/21 (talkSPORT BET)
As is always the case, there was plenty of talk about Cristiano Ronaldo both before and after the Czech Republic game.
The 39-year-old was generally shackled well by the Czech defence, but he did show some nice touches at times. It was notable, too, that Portugal sent in a tournament-high 24 open-play crosses in an attempt to feed Ronaldo inside the penalty area.
There is no doubt that the all-time leading international scorer is past his best, but Ronaldo still scored more goals than anyone else in the qualification process.

A lack of mobility could be an issue come the knockout phase (assuming Portugal make it), but against weaker opponents he is still capable of making an impact.
Türkiye should not be underestimated, but they do concede a fair amount of chances. Ronaldo and Portugal can take advantage at Signal Iduna Park.

Both teams to score – 4/5 (bet365)
Türkiye were such a letdown at the European Championship three years ago, but Montella has made them a more exciting team to watch during his time at the helm.
The Italian has long been associated with technical, possession-based football and it was pleasing to see Türkiye get the ball down and play last time out.
It will be harder to do so against Portugal, who are obviously a much stronger side than Georgia, but Türkiye can still make life difficult for Martinez’s men.
We should see a slightly more cautious setup from Portugal here, with Joao Palhinha likely to come into the midfield after being left on the bench against the Czechs.
But Martinez’s sides are always front-footed and attack-minded, so Türkiye should find a few gaps to exploit in the final third. Portugal were defensively solid in qualifying, but a clean sheet could be beyond them in this one.

Over 2.5 goals – 14/19 (VBET)
Portugal have an embarrassment of riches in attack. Ronaldo, Rafael Leao, Bernardo Silva, Vitinha and Bruno Fernandes all started against the Czech Republic.
Martinez was then able to bring Conceicao, Pedro Neto and Diogo Jota off the bench. Joao Felix and Goncalo Ramos were among the unused substitutes.
Martinez is a manager who divides opinion, but no one could accuse him of being conservative. The Spaniard’s priority is invariably to ask how his team can hurt the opposition.
Montella has a similar mindset, which is why this game looks so promising.
Had Türkiye dropped points against Georgia, they may have ended up being more cautious here.
But in front of what is sure to be a Turkish-majority crowd in Dortmund, Montella’s men will ensure they put Portugal’s defence under pressure. Goals could be on the cards in the second game on Saturday.
