The Euro 2024 has outmarched the expectations. All games have seen thrilling encounters as teams look to consolidate a place in the knockouts. Both Portugal and Turkey would love to secure the apex of Group F as they take on each other this Sunday. With the stakes at an all-time high, it will be interesting to see if Cristiano Ronaldo and his men can shake off the nerves from the opening contest against Czechia and punch their ticket into the Round of 16.

Portugal grabbed the three points against Czechia in the last possible minute thanks to Francisco Conceicao’s strike in the game’s dying moments. Skipper Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to have an off-right inside the attacking third with the player missing key chances for his team. Meanwhile, Turkey didn’t have it easy either as they fended off a resurgent Georgia to climb to the top of the table. Vincenzo Montella‘s men will be full of belief as they look to upset Portugal and become the first team from their group to move to the knockouts.

Turkey vs Portugal: Predictions

Despite being a betting man, picking the winner for this contest is not as easy as it sounds. While Portugal on paper has the quality to steamroll through their opponents, Turkey has shown why one shouldn’t take them lightly. To add more to Portugal’s woes, the team’s performance against Czechia did not match the standards fans expect from the team. For all it’s worth, the team wouldn’t even be in the contest if not for Robin Hranac’s own goal. The game could very likely end in a draw with all factors taken into consideration.

Prediction: Turkey 1 – 1 Portugal
