Portugal will be looking to keep their hopes of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup alive when they face Turkey in their play-off semi-final on Thursday evening at the Estadio do Dragao in Porto.
The 2016 European Championship winners missed out on automatic qualification for the tournament in Qatar back in November after finishing second in Group A behind Serbia. Portugal faced the Serbs in their final group match and were beaten 2-1, courtesy of a 90th-minute winner from striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.
It meant that Serbia won the group by three points, leaving Cristiano Ronaldo and his team-mates to face the lottery of the play-offs. Should they beat Turkey, they will face either Italy or North Macedonia in a play-off final next Tuesday for a place in Qatar.
