Tactical Tweaks Needed to Unlock Portugal’s Potential

After a bright start to the match, Portugal looked a bit labored in possession and unable to pick apart Czechia’s well-drilled backline, delivering a wasteful performance in terms of the execution of the final ball and their efficiency in the final third. It might behoove Martinez to mix things up in their second match and inject an extra dose of intensity into a front six that looked a bit too predictable. Having gone with three fullbacks and two center backs vs. Czechia, he could be inclined to introduce more pace and dynamism on the flanks with either Neto or Conceicao coming into the side.

As for Turkey, they found themselves in complete control early on, beating Georgia 3-1.

Arda Guler: Smart Anytime Goalscorer Bet?

At 19 years of age, Arda Guler continues to demonstrate why he is one of the most promising soccer players in the world, closing out his debut Real Madrid season in stellar fashion with 5 goals in his last 5 appearances. He has become the third teenager to score on his Euros debut after Ferenc Bene in 1964 and Cristiano Ronaldo in 2004, and if there’s one player who’s capable of conjuring up danger for the Portuguese, it’s Guler. He’s an excellent addition to your soccer player prop bets.

Over 2.5 Goals a Lock Bet? Portugal & Turkey Set for High-Scoring Clash

Whilst both teams are teeming with versatile attacking weapons, they’re also finding their identity under new managers Vincenzo Montella and Martinez, and neither have quite managed to convince defensively. Tactical shifts take time to settle in, and as Martinez seeks to ditch the back four, counter-attacking setup that took root under Fernando Santos in favor of a possession-heavy back three, there is the chance of Portugal being caught out in transition by a Turkey side that has a young, audacious attacking arsenal that is more than capable of testing Diogo Costa in goal.

The stage is set for a high-scoring affair, and there’s more than enough reason to back the Over at -135. Five of Portugal’s last six matches have featured more than 2.5 goals, and we’re backing that trend to continue in our Euro betting picks.
