The Netherlands take on Turkey at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on Saturday in the last of the Euro 2024 quarter-finals. After an up-and-down group campaign that saw them win, lose, and draw, Ronald Koeman’s men could only progress to the knockouts as one of the top-performing third-placed teams. That didn’t seem to phase them in the round of 16, however, as they came up against Romania. A goal from Cody Gakpo and a brace from Donyell Malen showed the Dutch an easy 3-0 win. This will be tougher, but they have the quality.
Turkey have been quite impressive at Euro 2024 so far, having only lost to Portugal in the group stages so far. They even finished level on points and only progressed in second place courtesy of goal difference. A tough round of 16 tie against Austria saw them respond in the best possible way, taking the lead inside a minute before doubling that lead on the hour mark. Austria piled on the pressure and got one back, but Turkey held on for the 2-1 win. That will have been a good warm-up for this clash as they look to make history.
Given how they’ve seemed to grow into the tournament, it’s no surprise to see the Netherlands made the odds on favourites in the match result market. Both sides have shown attacking strength, so the value is in backing the Netherlands to win and both teams to score instead. Cody Gakpo continues his scoring streak at the competition, he’s worth backing to score first, or anytime if you want to cover yourself. Turkey are a passionate team, and if things don’t go their way, they could get feisty. So, our final tip is over 5.5 cards.
