Netherlands vs Turkey prediction

After a lacklustre performance through the group stage that saw them qualify to the knockout stage as one of the best ranked 3rd place teams, Netherlands brought their A-Game in the round of 16 matchup against Romania as they outclassed them with a comprehensive and well-deserved 3-0 win. Despite this flattering scoreline, Ronald Koeman’s charges had to work for every one of those goals against a resolute Romania side to earn their first Euros knockout win since 2004

Turkey continued their terrific showing at the Euros with an impressive 2-1 win over a highly fancied Austria side in their knockout clash. Defender Merih Demiral took advantage of defensive mixups at the back for Austria to score the fastest goal at the Euros after just 57 seconds and that helped calm their nerves and take control of the match. They proceeded to score a second in the 2nd half and although the Austrians battled and clawed one back, the Crescent Stars held on after surviving the nervy moments at the end.

This game has goals written all over it. Both of these teams love to attack but have also shown some vulnerability at the back. The Oranje’s 3 goal output last time out was the 4th time this calendar year that they achieved that feat. Turkey’s games have been pure entertainment in a tournament that has been devoid of goals, particularly in the group games. We fancy another explosive game here with a bucketload of goals hence why we are picking Over 3.5 Goals as our opening Netherlands vs Turkey prediction for this game

Prediction 3: Depay Anytime Goalscorer

Here’s why we feel there is value in backing Netherland’s forward Memphis Depay to Score Anytime:

• He has scored one goal so far but has had the most attempts on target
• Depay is the official penalty taker for the team
• In their last encounter against Turkey, he scored a hat-trick

Statistics for Netherlands vs Turkey Prediction

Team News Netherlands

• Koeman backline against Romania was solid as compared to their previous group games. He is likely to stick with Ake, van Dijk, de Vrij, and Dumfries at the back
• Donyell Malen’s brace against Romania off the bench may have made a case for him to start but the coach will likely maintain him to provide the spark off the bench yet again
• AC Milan’s Tijjani Reijnders will continue playing deeper midfield role alongside Jerdy Schouten

Team News Turkey

• The Crescent Stars’ sensation Arda Guler continued shining with a terrific assist for Demiral against Austria. He is expected to continue his brilliant performance down the flanks alongside the other 19-year-old Kenan Yildz
•  Influential captain Hakan Calhanoglu and centre-back Samet Akaydin missed their round-of-16 tie vs Austria and will now be available for selection here. Calhanoglu will be back in a deep midfield role alongside either Kaan Ayhan or Dormund’s Salih Ozcan
• Turkey’s hero, Merih Demiral, shone brightly in the match against Austria, leading his team to the quarter-finals with two vital goals. However, his celebration of a ‘Wolf Salute’ has sparked controversy and raised concerns about a potential ban, which makes him a doubt for this game.
