Our tip: Turkey – Portugal: more than 2.5 goals in the match

22.06.2024 18:00

In the Czech group, Turkey and Portugal are at the top of the table after the opening round, the winner of their match will secure their qualification to the eight finals. If both teams build on their opening performances, the fans at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund will have something to look forward to.

Turkey played the most attractive game of the first round against Georgia, with attacks alternating on both sides, the teams combined to produce 37 shots (12 on target), with the Turks enjoying a 3-1 victory. But the match could have easily ended 2-2, Turkey resisted in the end with luck, the third goal into an empty net in the last minute of the setup Aktürkoglu. Arda Güler, the darling of the Turkish fans, scored the difference goal, the Real Madrid midfielder hitting the crossbar beautifully to become the fifth youngest goal scorer in Euro history at the age of 19 years and 114 days.

Italian coach Vincenzo Montella, who received the perfect present for his 50th birthday, is not afraid to build on the young. Güler and Kenan Yildiz were the first pair to start a Euro match in the starting line-up at the age of 19. Together, they have less than Cristiano Ronaldo, who did not make an impact in the match against the Czech Republic, but the Portuguese were able to replace him and turned the result from 0:1 to 2:1 at the end, although Hašek’s team more or less gave him both goals with big mistakes.

Portugal dominated all aspects of the game from start to finish, and one would expect Turkey to play more boldly than the timid Czechs. Güler and co. have guts, a debut win in their first Euro match will give them confidence. And the Turks also know that Ronaldo hasn’t scored a goal in their three matches together.

What to bet on:

Portugal won their last match 3:1 in the play-off for qualification to the last World Cup, expect more goals on Saturday, at least three will be scored.

Confidence:

7/10
