Portugal vs Turkey: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results for World Cup playoff

Portugal are one of the biggest nations still at risk of missing the 2022 World Cup and they start their qualifying playoff campaign with a semi-final against Turkey.

The winners will play either Italy or North Macedonia for a place at the Qatar tournament, meaning one of the two most recent European champions are certain to miss out.

Portugal are, of course, spreaheaded by talismanic captain Cristiano Ronaldo, who will be desperate to lead his country at what would surely be the last World Cup of his career.
