As the next Group F game kicks off, we will get to see the ‘Ay-Yıldızlılar‘ face off against the ‘Seleção das Quinas’ in what is sure to be an interesting game. While Turkey has only lost a single qualifying game, three losses and a single draw in their four friendly matches in 2024 doesn’t leave a lot of room for confidence, whilst Portugal won every qualification match they played, including a devastating 9-0 win against Luxembourg in November 2023, they too have suffered a few defeats this year in friendlies, so the game may not be as ‘pre-determined’ as some punters would like it to be. Nonetheless. With Portugal eager to repeat their 2016 Euros victory yet again, let’s see what the bookies have to say about the latest Turkey vs Portugal odds ahead of the 22nd June 17:00 kick-off.
According to BetVictor and the latest betting odds on the Euro 2024, at the time of writing, Turkey are a distant second with odds of 19/4, meaning that a £10 wager on them would return £57.50, versus Portugal who are distinct favourites at 1/2, with the same £10 stake paying out just £15. For anyone assuming it will be a draw by the end of the 90 minute game, odds of 31/10 mean a £10 bet would pay £41 if correct. With Turkey all the way down in 40th place in the FIFA world rankings and Portugal sit 6th in the table, some 34 places above them, the odds seem par for the course, even more so when you consider some of the firepower that the Portuguese team have brought to the competition.
While Turkey’s head coach, Vincenzo Montella, will look to captain Hakan Çalhanoğlu and striker Cenk Tosun to deliver the goals, in the wake of the injury to fellow-striker Cengiz Ünder against Hungary in March, Portugal’s own coach, Roberto Martinez, need look no further than blockbuster performer Cristiano Ronaldo, the country’s most capped player and highest scorer, alongside former teammate Bruno Fernandes and Liverpool striker Diogo Jota to help his side nab the points on the day. While we expect Turkey to do their best to keep Ronaldo and his teammates at bay for as long as possible, we predict it will be hard to contain such a strong attacking line-up and that Portugal will emerge with the full three points by the time the final whistle has blown.
