Bet on Portugal to Win
The Portuguese side boasts a powerful offensive lineup, and the Euros might represent one of Cristiano Ronaldo’s final opportunities to secure another European Championship for his nation. The team’s initial outing was commendable, emerging on top against the Czech Republic with a 2-1 triumph. Despite the Czechs’ efforts to defend deeply and withstand the onslaught, Portugal’s world-class attacking players eventually broke through their resistance.
Considering the Turkey defence isn’t as robust as the Czech’s, Portugal has a favourable chance of winning this match-up.
Bet on Portugal to Win 2-1
Portugal boasts an impressive offensive lineup, yet their back line reveals some vulnerabilities, particularly being led by the veteran Pepe at the age of 41, who isn’t as spry as he once was. The Turkish squad, featuring dynamic players like Hakan Calhanoglou and Arda Guler, is well-equipped to exploit these weaknesses. It’s plausible that Turkey will manage to breach Portugal’s defence and score during the match.
Bet on Cristiano Ronaldo to Score
Despite not netting a goal in Portugal’s narrow 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic, Cristiano Ronaldo’s scoring drought appears to be a temporary lapse. Facing a Turkish team that is likely to give away set-pieces against Portugal’s skilful forwards, such as Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes, Ronaldo will likely seize the opportunity to convert a goal from a free-kick or penalty.
What Do the Coaches Say?
Roberto Martinez, the Portuguese manager, praised his team’s resilience following their recent 2-1 win against the Czech Republic.
“We are a country of 10 million, but we have a huge amount of players in the (European) top-five leagues,” said Martinez.
“That’s a strength and a weakness. If you don’t use it well, it can become 26 individuals trying to show their own thing.”
