Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Türkiye vs Portugal

Türkiye

There were many questions about the Turkish national team before the start of the tournament, since the team had done very little preparation. In 2024, the Moon Stars took part in four friendly matches, drawing only once and suffering three defeats. Vincenzo Montella's boys also performed unsuccessfully in the final sparring, losing away to Poland 1:2. But in the first round, the Turks were able to silence all critics, confidently defeating the Georgian team 3:1. Muldur, Güler and Aktürkoglu scored goals for the “lunar stars”.

Turkey is an experienced team capable of reaching the playoffs.

Portugal

The Portuguese national team actively prepared for the European Championship; in 2024, the team managed to take part in five control matches, achieving three victories; in two more cases the Portuguese failed. The last friendly match turned out well for the “team of the chosen”, in which they beat Ireland at home 3:0. Already in the first round of the Euro, Roberto Martinez's team were also able to achieve success, beating the Czech national team 2:1. Conceição scored for the Portuguese, another goal was scored after an own goal.

The Portuguese at the tournament are represented by a fusion of experience and youth, and all the performers are highly qualified.

Game Totals Prediction

Türkiye picked up a good pace, taking a confident step towards the knockout games. Portugal is considered one of the favorites of the tournament; the composition allows the team to solve this problem. Both teams won the first match of the tournament, conceding an own goal. That’s why I expect goals in a head-to-head match; the teams’ attack is stronger than their defense: total over 2.5 – 1.74.
