Turkey vs Portugal prediction and betting tips - June 22, 2024 by Jack Read
On June 22, Turkey and Portugal will meet in the final part of the Euro. Dailysports experts have prepared their betting option for this event.
Turkey
The Turks expectedly got to the Euros, although the team has always been interesting and unpredictable. The team had a comfortable start, because they played against the debutants of the national team of Georgia. Turkey won that match with a score of 3:1 at the expense of class, although there are still questions, because they allowed a lot to create a rival at their gates.
We can also remember the fact that the team scored the third goal at the end, when the opponent ran to get back. The beginning should inspire the players, the team must fight for the playoffs, in this regard, the battle against the Czechs may become decisive, but it is realistic to fight with the Portuguese.
Portugal
The 2016 European champions brilliantly conducted their selection, winning all matches, it can not be said that the group was very easy, it's just that the Portuguese did not give their opponents a chance. In their quartet, the team looks like a favorite, but just definitely will not be.
In the first match Portugal played better than the Czech Republic, but missed the first in the middle of the second half, the players had time to gather, quickly equalized the score, and in the offset time snatched a well-deserved victory with a score of 2:1. It will actually be a battle for first place in the group, where we need to justify the status of favorites. With such a squad, we need to take three points.
