Euro 2024 Betting Tips: Turkey vs Portugal
In the second round of Group F fixtures at Euro 2024, two matchday one winners, Turkey and Portugal, face off with both sides looking to build on their winning starts and secure early progression to the knockout stages.
Turkey come into this encounter on the back of a thrilling 3-1 victory over Georgia. However, the scoreline does not fully capture the hard-fought nature of their win. Vincenzo Montella’s men needed two stunning goals to secure the win, but regardless of the struggle, they now find themselves on the cusp of their first Euro knockouts since 2008.
Turkey’s attacking stats from the opening matchday offer a glimpse into what could be a goal-filled contest against Portugal at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday. Montella’s side registered the highest number of shots (22) and the highest expected goals total (3.01) of any team on matchday one. The danger wasn’t limited to a single source either, with a whopping 11 different Turkish players registering at least one shot, matching hosts Germany in their opener against Scotland.
Portugal, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back from a less than convincing opening performance. Despite being one of the tournament favourites after a flawless qualifying campaign, Roberto Martinez’s men needed a last-gasp winner to snatch a 2-1 victory against Czechia.
Speaking of memorable moments, 19-year-old Arda Güler’s stunning effort against Georgia saw him become the youngest player to score on his Euros debut. Interestingly, this record was previously held by Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, who is yet to get off the mark in Germany. While Ronaldo has often been Portugal’s saviour, it was substitute Francisco Conceição who turned the game around against the Czechs with the winner just 111 seconds after coming off the bench.
