Portugal have an excellent record against Turkey but did lose the last time these two sides met back in 2012. Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to fire Portugal into the Play-Off Finals on Thursday night against a Turkey side who greatly disappointed at Euro 2020.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the highest-scoring international football of all time and at the age of 37, he shows no signs of slowing down. Ronaldo has been in decent form for Man Utd this season, scoring 12-goals in the Premier League, and top scores for Portugal in the World Cup qualifiers with 6-goals, so you can see just why we're backing the legend to score against Turkey on Thursday night.

Over 2.5 goals were scored the last time these two countries locked horns and on that day, Turkey ran out 3-1 winners. At least three goals have been scored in five of Portugal's last six outings in all competitions with Ronaldo and co scoring at least three goals in four of those games. Five of Turkey's last six fixtures have also witnessed over 2.5 goals scored and that includes a huge 6-0 win over Gibraltar and the 6-1 loss to the Netherlands.

葡萄牙在对阵土耳其的比赛中表现出色，但在2012年的比赛中，葡萄牙输掉了与土耳其的比赛。预计克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多将带领葡萄牙队进入周四晚上的附加赛，对阵在2020年欧洲杯上大失所的土耳其队。

克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多(Cristiano Ronaldo)是史上得分最高的国际足球运动员，37岁的他丝毫没有放慢脚步的迹象。罗纳尔多本赛季在曼联状态不错，在英超联赛中打入12球，在世界杯预选赛中为葡萄牙打入6球，位居榜首，所以你可以明白为什么我们支持这位传奇人物在周四晚上对土耳其的比赛中进球。

这两国上一次交锋时，双方的进球都超过2.5个，当天土耳其以3-1的比分获胜。在最近与罗纳尔多的六场比赛中，葡萄牙有五场比赛至少打进三球，其中四场比赛至少打进三球。在过去的六场比赛中，土耳其有五场进球超过2.5个，其中包括6-0大胜直布罗陀和6-1负于荷兰。
