Portugal looks to continue its positive start to the 2024 European Championships and book a spot in the Round of 16 in Germany against another opening-match winner in Group F.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal take on Turkey at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund, with both nations already on three points.
Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella’s side beat Georgia, 3-1, also in Dortmund, to start their Euro 2024 campaign strong. Portugal, meanwhile, needed a late goal from Francisco Conceicao to beat Czechia 2-1, with the winner coming in second-half stoppage time.
Even with both teams winning their first matches, the sportsbooks believe Portugal is the heavy favorite to come through here, and once again all attention is likely to be on Ronaldo. He is the only player with negative odds to score at any time, but can Portugal and their star man cope with the pressure?

Turkey vs. Portugal prediction, odds
- Moneyline lean: Portugal (-175)
- Score prediction: Portugal 2-0 Turkey
On paper, Portugal’s squad is one of the strongest in the world. Even with aging stars like Ronaldo and 41-year-old Pepe still earning a place in the starting lineup, the team features players from Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Barcelona.
After getting the last-minute win, Portugal’s attackers Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leao and Bruno Fernandes should all have enough quality to overpower Turkey. That said, Real Madrid’s Arda Guler impressed in the opener with a terrific goal against Georgia, and he is +350 to score at any time.

Turkey vs. Portugal best bet
- Pick: Portugal to win and both teams to score
- Odds: +210 (BetMGM)
Portugal is the heavy favorite to win, but based on recent history and Turkey’s attacking confidence, it’s a good bet to expect Portugal will concede at least one goal. Portugal has allowed goals in four of its last five games, including a 2-0 friendly defeat to Slovenia in March. In addition, there’s a lot of work for wingbacks Diogo Dalot and Joao Cancelo to do going up and down the field, and it leaves Pepe and a youngster like Nuno Mendes more isolated defensively in transition.
Fans can get better than 2/1 odds on this bet on BetMGM,
Turkey vs. Portugal prop bet
- Pick: Cristiano Ronaldo to score first goal
- Odds: +260 (BetMGM)
It’s a good bet that Ronaldo goes into every match he plays expecting to score. After not getting a goal in the last match, Ronaldo will be even more motivated to get on the board and give his team the boost they need.
For another prop bet, with Portugal expected to attack Turkey’s goal regularly, it is +1400 for both Bruno Fernandes and Rafael Leao to have two or more shots on target, each.
