Turkey takes on Portugal on Sunday, August 31, at the Riga Arena in Latvia.
Turkey owns the FIBA head-to-head matchup against Portugal, winning all three games. However, the last game was still during the 2012 EuroBasket qualification round.
Turkey also won their first two games in this year's EuroBasket, including a most recent 92-78 victory over Czech Republic. They fell behind by six points in the opening period, but a 24-10 burst in the second quarter carried them through.
It also helps when your star player is doing brilliant things. Alperen Sengun produced a near triple-double stat line of 23 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists. What is even more impressive is he only missed one of his nine shots, an efficient offensive display for the Houston Rockets All-Star.
Meanwhile, Portugal has split their first two games, including a 80-69 loss to the powerhouse Serbian team. They were within striking distance, considering the heavy odds placed against them. But their fourth quarter run fell short.
Diogo Brito put up a team-high 22 points and 9 rebounds, while Travante Williams contributed 15 points and 5 steals for Portugal. Neemias Queta, who had a stellar performance in their first game, struggled with only six points.

Our Turkiye vs Portugal Prediction
Alperen Sengun showed his All-Star form with a near triple-double in Turkey's double-digit victory against the Czech Republic. They are now 2-0 to start EuroBasket, but they'll be going up against a surprisingly impressive Portuguese team.
Portugal won their first game against the Czechs, then went within striking distance against the mighty Serbian team. Turkey still has the advantage in this game, but it might be difficult to run up the score against the Portuguese defense. Our prediction for the Turkiye vs Portugal match is: Portugal (+15.5) cover the spread.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
