Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Euro 2024 match.
Turkey
The level of the Turkish players wasn’t a question even before the start of the European Championship. Güler and Yıldız proved it was really high in the first game. However, besides these cool long range shots, the side isn’t perfect. Georgia had 2.03 xG with 15 shots. Turkey are hardly to improve their defensive game in a couple of days.
Portugal
Portugal never changed their style even after missing the goal in the first game. The late goals the Portuguese side scored proved they knew what to do. Portugal had 1.82 xG and 19 shots with 69% ball possession. Portugal will keep on successful way.
Turkey – Portugal prediction
Both sides are close to securing their knockout stage spot. Turkey won the first game but made a lot of mistakes in the defensive line. Portugal beat Turkey in the 2022 World Cup qualification play-offs (3:1). This game can end in quite the same way. Portugal will qualify for the knockout stage.
