Turkey and Portugal are battling intensely for the top spot in Group F. They’ve had different preparations leading up to the tournament in Germany. Turkey has lost almost all their games, including a 6-1 defeat to Austria in a friendly. Portugal had a mix of wins and losses in their friendlies but comes from a Euro qualifying group where they won all 10 games and scored 36 goals, averaging 3.6 goals per game.

Build-Up to Euro 2024:

Portugal’s last 3 friendlies:

• 3-0 win against Ireland
• 1-2 loss to Croatia
• 4-2 win against Finland

Turkey’s last 3 friendlies:

• 2-1 loss to Poland
• 0-0 draw with Italy
• 6-1 loss to Austria

The difference in their form is evident. However, both teams won their first match in the tournament, with Turkey’s win being more convincing.

Playing Style:

In their first match, Portugal showed control and dominance until they fell behind. They dominated the game significantly but often engaged in ball circulation reminiscent of Spain. They also demonstrated remarkable goal-scoring ability and pressure, securing 13 corners and 19 shots in the match. Turkey was less dominant but still managed 22 shots in their game. Both teams have strong offensive capabilities.

Betting Tip for the Match:

I believe this will be a game where the offense outshines the defense. Therefore, I’m betting on over 2.5 goals, as 11 out of 20 matches in the tournament have ended with this outcome, and both teams played matches with over 2.5 goals in their first games. Spreadex offers a solid 8/11 on this bet. We also have another betting tip for this match.
