Portugal - Turkey: prediction and bet on the qualifying match World Cup - 24.03.2022

Portugal and Turkey will play each other in the qualifying match for the main stage of the World Cup 2022 - prediction for this match. Portugal in group "A" of the qualifiers is in 2nd place, quite unexpectedly after Serbia. The Portuguese had 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss; 17 goals scored and 6 missed - 17 points in the asset.

Turkey showed itself worthy in group "G", they had Norway, Montenegro, Latvia, Gibraltar and the base - the Netherlands in their rivals there. The Turks finished the group in 2nd place with 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss; 27 goals and 16 missed - 21 points in the arsenal.

The last match with the participation of the national teams was in November, then Portugal lost to Serbia with a score of 1: 2, and Turkey defeated Montenegro not without problems.

Latest Portugal results - 5 matches counted

- Victory in the match with Azerbaijan with a score of 3:0 (Away)
- Victory in the match with Qatar with a score of 3:0 (Home)
- Victory in the match with Luxembourg with a score of 5:0 (Home)

- Lost in the match with the Netherlands with a score of 1:6 (Away)
- Draw 1:1 against Norway (Home)
- Victory in the match with Latvia with a score of 2:1 (Away)
- Victory in the match with Gibraltar with a score of 6:0 (Home)
- Victory in the match with Montenegro with a score of 2: 1 (Away)

In the last 10 matches, Portugal has 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses; 21 scored and 11 missed; Turkey has 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses; 18 scored and 19 missed.

Objectively, the Portuguese are much stronger than the Turks, since most of the players in Portugal play in the top leagues and the level of matches there is much higher, which some Turkish players could not feel.

I would not particularly like the Portuguese to qualify for the World Cup 2022, this is very subjective. Objectively, Portugal is stronger than Turkey and should pass the Turks without any problems. By the way, these teams played each other for the last time in 2012, when Turkey beat Portugal 3:1 in a friendly game.

Bookmakers give odds of 1.38 for Portugal and 9 for Turkey, and 5.5 for a draw. Objectively, an easy victory for Portugal at 1.4 - take it or not, your choice. I would believe that Turkey will not lose for 3.3; on the goal of both teams in 2.03 and would even catch Turkey's pass in 5.25.

Forecast: Both will score in the match between Turkey and Portugal - odds 2.03; with 2X risk with Turkey winning - odds 3.3
