Netherlands – Turkey

Netherlands are set to play Turkey at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Tuesday for a World Cup qualifying game. The hosts come into this game on the back of a 4-0 win over Miodrag Radulovic’s Montenegro, while Turkey beat Julio Cesar Ribas’ Gibraltar 3-0.

In 13 head-to-head encounters between the two sides, the record is fairly even. The Netherlands have won five games, lost four and drawn four. The two countries last faced each other earlier this year, with Turkey beating the Netherlands 4-2.

Netherlands have re-appointed the experienced Louis van Gaal as manager after a poor Euro 2020 campaign. Turkey, on the other hand, were abysmal at Euro 2020. Despite boasting good talent, they failed to perform at the tournament. We expect a home win here and over 2,5 goals.
