EURO 2024 GROUP F PREDICTION
Portugal should top the section, and it would not be a surprise to see them advance all the way to the final this summer, with France or England potentially their opponents depending on a number of other factors.
Second spot in Group F is very much open, though, and we are tipping Turkey to just finish above Czech Republic, who could potentially pick up enough points to progress as one of the best third-placed finishers.
Georgia are the huge underdogs in their first-ever major tournament, and it would be a surprise if they were not at the bottom of the section once all of the results are in.
