Portugal vs Turkey 24.03.2022

Portugal’s shock 2-1 loss at home to Serbia in the final round of Group A matches proved to be fatal as the Serbians overtook them in the standings to book their ticket for the world cup at their expense. All they needed was a draw but a last-minute Serbian winner condemned them to runner’s up in the group.

Turkey on their part finished the group stages strongly with 3 straight wins albeit against relatively weak opposition but that finish was still good enough to claim 2nd place, two points behind group winners Netherlands.

With the competition for the remaining qualifying slots expected to intensify, we expect a very competitive game here with both teams leaving nothing to chance. As such we expect a back-and-forth encounter that is likely to yield a lot of corners.
