Portugal vs Turkey Match Preview

Portugal will play against Turkey in this FIFA World Cup 2022 Qualification game. The game is played at Estadio do Dragao in Porto. The referee for this game is Siebert from Germany. 

Portugal finished in the second position in the qualifying group behind Serbia. Portugal needed just a draw in their last game and that was against Serbia. They conceded a goal in injury time which send them in the second place.

Portugal have won three out of the last five games played. They will be without Cancelo, Lopes, Pepe, Neves and Sanchez. Sanches and Cancelo are suspended due to yellow cards, Pepe is ill, and the other two are injured. 

Turkey finished in second position, two points behind the Netherlands. Turkey have also won three out of the last five games played, like Portugal.

Turkey do not have injury issues and they could play their best team. The player to watch out for Turkey is Orkun Kokcu who plays for Feyenoord , and has been in very good form.

Out of the last five head-to-head meetings between these sides, four have been won by Portugal and one by Turkey. Portugal have the home advantage here and their players are of higher quality than Turkey. I predict Portugal would lead at the break. Odds look to have slight value in my opinion.
