      Turkey are unlikely to change a winning formula after their strong performance against Georgia.
      İrfan Can Kahveci, who missed that game through injury, is still doing light training so is unlikely to return to the fold.
      Meanwhile, Portugal may see fit to tweak their tactics after they had to throw the kitchen sink in their first game to get anything from it.
      Goncalo Inacio could be a more natural fit for the team if they elect to switch to a back four, likely with Diogo Dalot dropping out
      Copy linkCopiedBrilliant Bruno
      While Ronaldo is leading the line for his nation once again, it it the stars around him carrying the load of the performance.
      That includes midfielders such as Bruno Fernandes, who is among the most dangerous creative players in the world.

      Copy linkCopiedAmazing Arda
      At just 19 years old, Real Madrid star Guler is carrying the hopes of his country on his shoulders.
      His screamer against Georgia showed he is not one to shy away from the occasion, and a strong performance against Portugal will be vital if they are to get anything from the game.

      This is the big one from Group F! Portugal vs Turkey and SunSport will have the entire coverage through our live blog.
      Both European giants got off to winning stars which makes this Euro 2024 fixture perfectly poised.
      Turkey top the group on goal difference after a 3-1 win over Georgia on match one.
      And they are hoping that they can beat their best ever result at a Euros which is a semi-final in 2008, and it is ironic that a year when no one considered them dark horses.
      Portugal’s opening game proved to be a far harder road to victory.
      They went a goal behind against the Czech Republic before managing to get back into the game through an own goal minutes later.
      They had the ball in the net through Diogo Jota before the goal was ruled out for offside against Cristiano Ronaldo, whose presence on the pitch appeared to suffocate the attacking impetus of the team.
      But super-subs Pedro Neto and Francisco Conceicao combined off the bench to win the game and grab three crucial points for Portugal.
