The Portugal v Turkey odds for this Portugal Turkey Euro 2008 opening Group match sees the Portugese as clear odds on favourites at 8/11. The ‘Turks’ are 9/2 against and the draw is best priced at 5/2. All the talk as expected is about Christiano Ronaldo and many people are betting on him to finish as top scorer in the Tournament. So much so, that the bookies are only giving odds of 5/4 against him scoring against Turkey on the night.

We think that the game could be a lot different to what many expect. Turkey are without doubt short of world class players, but what they lack there, they more than make up for in spoiling players. Add to the mix a manager who adopts spoiling tactics, when needs must, then you could well have a game that turns frustrating and drab ‘early doors’.
Portugal themselves, while having several players who are top or even world class, they have not covered themselves in too much glory in qualifying for the Tournament. They finished behind Poland and although only losing once, managed an astonishing six draws. They have had two pre-Tournament wins against Cyprus and Georgia.
Turkey qualified behind Euro 2004 Champions Greece, and will be hoping to emulate what they did in 2004 by beating Portugal in their opening fixture. Turkish coach, Terim (The Emperor) believes that they can. They won in a pre-tournament friendly the other day against a very good Finland side and looked very capable in so doing.
The ‘bookies’ will probably be right however, but a win for Portugal is as important as a draw would be for Turkey, so don’t be too surprised at the outcome.
