With EURO 24 now officially underway, the action will role onto Tuesday when former European champions Portugal open their adventure in Leipzig.
Already watching the likes of England, Italy and Holland open their respective campaigns with three points, we have a pair of EURO 24 showdowns on the cards throughout Tuesday night.
For those of you looking to stick on a European Championship flutter in midweek, we have taken a glance at two of the most intriguing Tuesday betting tips.
17:00 Turkey vs Georgia
Embarking on what was a famous qualifying adventure last year, Turkey certainly gained a string of plaudits as they eventually finished ahead of World Cup bronze medalists Croatia. However, while the Crescent Stars might be dreaming of the chance to mount a genuine charge for the knockout stage this summer, they do have the feel of a squad seeking some recent stability.
Signing off their pre-EURO 24 preparations with a downbeat 2-1 loss at home against Poland, Vincenzo Montella’s men have failed to muster a single win from any of their previous five appearances across all competitions.
With their recent issues underlined by a 6-1 drumming at the hands of Austria on March 26th, Turkey have continued to show some extended defensive issues.
It should be highlighted, the former AC Milan boss has not seen his squad muster a single clean sheet since opening up the New Year.
Making real history last year as they secured to a maiden adventure on the major tournament stage, Georgia will certainly have a real party atmosphere in their camp when they open proceedings on Tuesday evening.
Booking their spot at this summer’s tournament thanks to a stunning penalties victory against Greece during March’s International break, the Crusaders have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions.
Gaining a string of plaudits from across the continent and signing off their pre-tournament preparations with a 3-1 win away at Montenegro, Georgia will be confident of testing a leaky Turkish defence in rural Germany.

20:00 Portugal vs Czech Republic
Despite being left frustrated out in Qatar 18 months ago as they suffered a World Cup quarter-final exit at the hands of Morocco, Portugal have come roaring back in some style. Embarking on a major EURO 24 qualifying romp last year as they won all of their 10 Group J appearances by an aggregate score of 36-2, the Navigators are certainly enjoying life under the guidance of Roberto Martinez.
Signing off their pre-tournament preparations with a routine 3-0 victory at home against Ireland, the former Belgium boss will be calling on his superstar squad to make a statement of intent here.
Continuing to gain a fearsome reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, Portugal have their sights firmly set on mounting a genuine late charge over in Germany this summer.
With five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo only continuing to break a string of records since completing his history-making move to Saudi Arabia last year, Martinez’s men will be relishing their opening European appearance on Tuesday night.
On the flip side, opening EURO 24 in the midst of a five-match winning run, the Czech Republic are dreaming of the chance to follow Portugal out of Group F this summer.
However, hit with a routine 4-0 drumming when they last met the Navigators while in Nations League action in September 2022, Ivan Hasek’s men will be concerned by a nightmare record against Portugal.
Losing all of their previous four historic showdowns against the 2016 European champions by an aggregate score of 10-1, the Czech Republic certainly face a major struggle when they open their European adventure at the Red Bull Arena.
