The highly anticipated clash is scheduled to commence at 6 p.m.local time (1600 GMT) in the city of Dortmund.
Ronaldo, who found himself relegated to the bench during the 2022 World Cup, has now solidified his position as a guaranteed starter under the guidance of newly appointed coach Roberto Martinez. Although the Portuguese superstar played the entire game against the Czechs, he was unable to find the back of the net.
Portugal encountered difficulties when pitted against a defensively minded Czech side in Leipzig. However, they are expected to find more space to operate against a Turkey team that favors an attacking approach. One player to keep an eye on is Turkey’s rising star, 19-year-old Arda Guler, who showcased his immense talent by scoring a spectacular goal against Georgia.
However, there are concerns regarding his fitness level ahead of this crucial match. Turkey will undoubtedly benefit from the fervent support of their fans at Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion, the venue where they played their opening game.
A victory for either team in this encounter will guarantee their position at the top of the group, provided that Georgia and the Czech Republic settle for a draw in their earlier match. Portugal has reported a fully fit squad, with Joao Palhinha vying for a spot in the midfield. On the other hand, Turkey’s İrfan Can Kahveci remains a doubtful starter due to an injury.
Ronaldo, the all-time leading scorer in European Championships with 14 goals, aims to extend his record and make his 27th appearance in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Portugal is determined to maintain their winning streak against Turkey. Turkey, for their part, managed to break a streak of opening-match losses at the Euros by securing a victory against Georgia.
