EURO 2024, Türkiye

* PRE-MATCH PREDICTIONS

Both Turkey and Portugal started their campaign with 3-1 wins over Georgia and 2-1 over the Czech Republic. Their clash will decide who finishes first in Group F. The winner will also be assured of a place in the last 16. Attention will also be on Ronaldo, who will score after he made his debut in the tournament's opening match and set a record as the first player in the tournament's history to appear in six EUROs.

Ronaldo and the Portuguese team have arrived in Dortmund.

Ronaldo is also the player with the most goals in EURO history with a total of 14 goals, spanning 5 consecutive tournaments from 2004 to 2020 (playing in 2021). If the 39-year-old player scores in this year's tournament, he will set a new milestone (scoring in 6 consecutive EUROs), which will certainly be very difficult for anyone to break.

Ronaldo's place in the Portugal squad is now assured, despite criticism over his age or playing in Saudi Arabia in the Saudi Pro League, which is a lower level than European leagues.

According to coach Roberto Martinez (Portugal team): "There is no debate that is worth having for a player of Ronaldo's class. He is the greatest player in the world, everyone has admitted. Age is just a number. Ronaldo still has all the qualities of a very dangerous striker in the penalty area.

He is very disciplined, works hard. Ronaldo also helps us open up spaces in the penalty area. Conceicao's goal (90+2 minute, deciding the score in the 2-1 win over the Czech Republic) is a typical example. Therefore, Ronaldo's position is key to the way Portugal plays. We don't need to bring in another striker to support him."

Will Ronaldo score soon at EURO 2024?

"In the match against the Czech Republic, Ronaldo had 3 shots into the middle of the goal. He was the player with the most dangerous shots in the first day of matches at EURO this year. These data also show that Ronaldo responded very well to the very high tempo of the EURO, and met all our requirements. He will definitely be on the field again from the beginning of the match. I believe Ronaldo will soon score a goal at EURO this year," coach Roberto Martinez emphasized.

The Turkish team is in high spirits after a 3-1 victory over Georgia. But in their recent confrontation with Portugal in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, they lost 1-3.
