I will obviously support and hope that Portugal wins this match against Turkey and Portugal should win this match because on point table they are a far better team than turkey. And obviously, Ronaldo is going to cause a lot of problems for Turkey's defense. Frankly, I don't think that Turkey's defense will be able to handle Portugal's attack.

There are still four whole months before this match, so now it is quite difficult to say who or which team will be in what form and to make a prediction. I do not think that Portugal is much stronger than Turkey to speak of a clear advantage, at least I hope that the match at home will give an additional advantage and Portugal will win.

In terms of ranking, Portugal is indeed superior because they are still in a fairly high position.
But in terms of performance at the moment I think like you said there is still a lot of time to see how they prepare well.
on the other hand i still see the dependence on ronaldo in the ranks of the portugal players which makes it very difficult for them to develop the game they do

As it might be the last world cup for CR7 I want Portugal to reach the final tournament from Path C. Italy is in real danger on missing two straight world cups. On the other hand, I am not worried because, if CR7 fails, then also i'll get to see Messi & Neymar's super skills who have already got tickets to Qatar.

it is certain they will struggle in the playoff path because as you said, this is the last world cup for ronaldo.
But what I meant in the previous thread was that the Portugal national team still have dependencies and expect too much from Ronaldo to lead them to victory so they are too fixated on Ronaldo's strengths and Ronaldo is like working hard on their own.
this is the same as what messi did in argentina
