On Saturday, 22 June, the Portuguese national team will play against Turkey in Dortmund in the 2nd round match of the Euro 2024 group stage. The match will kick off at 18:00 CET. Prediction and bets for the match between these two teams are prepared by Dailysports team of analysts.
Turkey
The Turkish national team in the 1st round gave one of the most spectacular matches of the tournament. In Dortmund, Vincenzo Montella's team defeated the debutants of the European Championships Georgia with a score of 3:1. Both teams played very open football and created many chances. In the end, Turkey won with two incredible long-range strikes from Mert Müldür and Arda Güler. In the end Georgia had several great opportunities to equalise and goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili ran into the penalty area for a corner, but it only resulted in Kerem Aktürkoğlu's third goal into an empty net.
This victory was extremely important for the Turks after the failed previous European Championship, where they finished last in the group without a chance. Also with this victory they confirmed that their generation of young talent is capable of producing results now.
Portugal
Like Turkey, Portugal won their first match at Euro 2024. However, the victory over the Czechia was extremely difficult for Roberto Martinez's team. In the first half, the Czechia completely closed in their half of the field, closed Cristiano Ronaldo and practically did not allow him to shoot at their goal. And after the break, the Czechia shocked the group favourites when Lukas Provod sent the ball into the goal with a spectacular long-range shot. But a few minutes after the goal, David Hranac accidentally cut the ball into his own net, and in the 90th minute, substitute Francisco Conceição brought Portugal three points.
Obviously, in the match against Turkey, Portugal wants to finally solve the question of qualifying for the playoffs. A win in this match virtually guarantees the Seleção first place, and this opens up the possibility of a rotation in the final round against the modest Georgian national team.
