Offence is the name of the game for Saturday's Euro 2024 best bets.

The pregame narrative: Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal are in action against Turkey and I'm betting on both teams to score. Later on, take Romelu Lukaklu to score as Belgium looks to rebound from a shocking loss to Slovakia.

Euro 2024 best bet

Best Bet: Turkey/Portugal both teams to score (-136)

Francisco Conceicao played hero for Portugal in its Euro 2024 opener, breaking a 1-1 deadlock with a 92nd-minute game-winning goal.

It was a worthy result for a team that held 74% possession, completed 704 passes, and had a late goal disallowed by a hair.

Betting on Portugal to score is the easy part of this wager.

Roberto Martinez's squad blitzed through its qualifying group with a 10-0-0 record and a +34 goal differential. It has found the net in 14 of 15 games since the 2022 World Cup with multiple goals in 11 of those contests.

The team's offence is undeniable but the defence has looked shaky this year.

Portugal is 4-0-2 in 2024 and allowed a goal in each of those games. It conceded multiple goals in four of those contests with both teams scoring in five of them.

Turkey was pegged by many as a legitimate dark horse heading into this tournament and it certainly looked the part during its 3-1 victory over Georgia.

The Turks won the possession battle and generated an impressive eight shots on target and 3.01 expected goals, per TheAnalyst.

That came after they won their qualifying group with a 5-2-1 record while scoring the most goals (14).

Key stat: This bet has cashed in three of Turkey's last four games and each of Portugal's last six.

Quick pick

Lukaku to score (+120): Lukaku scored a goal and had it taken away in Belgium's 1-0 loss to Slovakia on Monday. It was one of two disallowed goals in a game where Belgium failed to score on 16 shots while generating 1.91 xG.

Mustering up offence wasn't the problem — finishing was. I expect the Red Devils, and Lukaku, to be much more clinical against Romania.

The Romanians made a statement with their 3-0 victory over Ukraine on Matchday 1 even though they were out-possessed 71.3-28.7.

Belgium's midfield should dictate play and provide Lukaku with plenty of chances to add to his all-time leading 85 goals.
