Turkey and Portugal enter this game having earned perfect records in Group F following their opening wins, so a win for either will advance them towards qualifying for the knockout rounds.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal will look to extend their winning streak against Turkey national football team vs Portugal national football team lineups, who has struggled defensively thus far in this tournament.
Turkey Lineup
At stake for both teams in Group F is first place and this clash could prove decisive in shaping their tournament fates. Each side is currently unbeaten after four matches played and this crucial showdown could determine their destiny in this tournament.
Hakan Calhanoglu could play an instrumental role in Turkey’s chances of victory against Spain this matchup, having made his Real Madrid debut recently. Zeki Celik and Merih Demiral will look to retain their places on defence while Kaan Ayhan and Arda Guler will occupy midfield roles respectively.
Turkey will most likely stick with their 4-2-3 formation, while Portugal manager Roberto Martinez may choose to adjust his team slightly depending on which players are available and fit. Joao Cancelo and Ronaldo have performed admirably so far; however he could opt to bring Bernardo Silva or Leao in for one of them depending on who’s available.
Starting off a bit shakily in the second half has been challenging as both teams search for goals. A lively Kerem Akturkoglu missed a fantastic chance as play entered its final quarter; and now yellow cards have begun being issued throughout the stadium, creating an increasingly tense environment.
Portugal celebrates a hard-fought, yet vital win to take top spot in Group F. Cristiano Ronaldo will surely be delighted that Portugal have taken three points from their first four matches and secured top spot.
Portugal have had an impressive start to their Euro 2024 campaign and an easy win against Turkey will give the defending champions confidence going into their final match with Morocco on June 28. Cristiano Ronaldo may have failed to find the net in their opening match against Czech Republic but scored the crucial winner late in the second half and looks poised to add to his record-breaking haul of international goals. A win against Turkey could secure Portugal a spot in Round 2, so Portugal will go all out to earn it!
Portugal Lineup
Brazil kicked off their Euro 2024 campaign with an impressive win against Czechia in their opener. Thanks to an own goal by Robin Hranac and Francisco Conceicao’s late winner, they managed to come from behind and secure three points. Brazil now have their sights set on taking another victory against an aggressive Turkey squad in Group F.
Roberto Martinez’s side have been given a boost with the return of Danilo Pereira and Rui Patricio after they had both been sidelined due to injuries. Real Madrid playmaker Luka Modric is also available and likely will form part of Roberto Martinez’s central midfield alongside Mateo Kovacic who excelled during opening game of tournament.
Diogo Dalot from Manchester United should start on the right flank while Joao Cancelo should keep his spot as centre-back after impressing against Czech Republic. Roma’s Joao Palhina should provide experience backup on the left and Vitinha may receive starting spot after showing outstanding composure by completing 95% of passes in first game.
Although Martinez will likely stick with the same starting lineup, he could alter his bench based on Premier League duty – with Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and Pedro Neto likely sitting out due to their commitments – potentially replacing them with Samu Costa, Joao Neves or Vitinha as possible replacements.
Turkish team captain Vincenzo Montella should have no difficulty finding an effective combination against an inexperienced Portugal squad, given his vast arsenal of options available to him. Irfan Kahveci and Yusuf Yazici remain uncertain for Saturday’s match against Portugal.

Cristiano Ronaldo will look to get back on track after an underwhelming display against Italy in Portugal’s opening game defeat, although Roberto Martinez’s side are favorites to win and advance to the next stage of Group F play. Turkey caused quite the shock on Matchday 1 by beating Georgia 3-1 with Arda Guler’s superb goal being the key figure behind it all; thus posing a threat once more against Ronaldo’s Real Madrid side.
Altay Bayindir will lead the Turkish attack alongside Yunus Akgun for Manchester United while Muhammed Akturkoglu will play wide attacking roles. Teenagers Kenan Yildiz and Arda Guler could play key roles for Hakan Calhanoglu from midfield.
Portugal will look to improve upon their poor defensive showing against Italy and revert back to their usual style of football under Joao Moutinho, with players like Bernardo Silva, Pepe and Rafa Leao looking to make an impressionful statement during this match. Ronaldo should aim for another goal on his journey towards winning his sixth European Championship title.

Pepe showed his experience by using an inch-perfect tackle against Orkun Kokcu which stopped any breakaway before another pitch invader attempted to run onto the pitch; when this occurred a steward made sure they left an impression by landing an eye-catching blow and sending him off for the remainder of the match.
