Portugal and Turkey will seek to build on the momentum from their opening Euro 2024 wins when they meet in an intriguing Group F clash in Dortmund on Saturday.
Having crashed out in the group stage three years ago before failing to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Turkey played with the abandon of having nothing to lose as they beat fearless outsiders Georgia 3-1 and Mert Muldur and Arda Guler rattled home goal-of-the-tournament contenders.
Much more was expected of 2016 winners Portugal pre-tournament and they were made to sweat by Czechia, falling behind before substitute Francisco Conceicao pinched a 2-1 victory in stoppage time.
Cristiano Ronaldo could not find the target as he became the first player in history to feature in six editions of the European Championship. He is no longer the youngest player to score on his debut in the competition, though. That honor now belongs to Real Madrid teenager Guler.

Team news
Cristiano Ronaldo does indeed start for Portugal, who seem to have switched to a 4-3-3 system. Diogo Dalot drops out, with Fulham’s Joao Palhinha coming into central midfield as Joao Cancelo moves to right-back.

Turkey start with Manchester United’s Altay Bayindir in goal. Arda Guler is not fit enough to start, so Yunus Akgun and Muhammed Akturkoglu line up in the wide attacking positions.
1 hour 40 mins before kickoff: Cristiano Ronaldo will hope to get on the scoresheet today after a largely ineffective performance on Matchday 1. Coach Roberto Martinez admitted in yesterday’s press conference that he still hadn’t decided his team for this game, so exactly who plays in support of the captain — or, indeed, if Ronaldo himself could be rested — remains to be seen.

Turkey vs. Portugal lineups, team news, starting 11
Turkey will continue to rely on their young talents, Arda Guler and Kenan Yildiz, who starred in their win over Georgia. Both 19, these two rising stars are set to play on the flanks against Portugal.
Captain Hakan Calhanoglu will take on a deeper midfield role alongside Kaan Ayhan, though coach Vincenzo Montella might opt for Salih Ozcan or Okay Yokuslu if he wants to mix things up.
In defence, Zeki Celik and Merih Demiral are vying for spots, but Mert Muldur, Samet Akaydin, Abdulkerim Bardakci, and Ferdi Kadioglu should keep their places. Orkun Kokcu is expected to stay in the No. 10 role ahead of Yusuf Yazici.
Turkey predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Gunok (GK) — Muldur, Akaydin, Bardakci, Kadioglu — Ayhan, Calhanoglu — Guler, Kokcu, Yildiz — Yilmaz.
Turkey subs (max 15): Matchday squad released one hour prior to kickoff
For Portugal, coach Roberto Martinez could stick with the 3-4-3 formation used against Czechia, although he admitted on Friday that he had not yet decided. Nuno Mendes was a surprise selection on the left of a back three with Pepe and Ruben Dias, while Diogo Dalot and Joao Cancelo took the wing-back positions, but there could be a reshuffle to a back four this time.
Vitinha produced a stellar performance alongside Bruno Fernandes against Czechia, meaning Joao Palhinha, Joao Neves, and Ruben Neves are expected to be on the bench again. Bernardo Silva and Rafael Leao will once more try to supply Cristiano Ronaldo with the ammunition.
Portugal predicted lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Costa (GK) — Pepe, Dias, Mendes — Dalot, Fernandes, Vitinha, Cancelo — Bernardo, Ronaldo, Leao.
