Turkey vs Netherlands – Soccer Betting Tips – World Cup

Turkey is one of the 24 teams that we will see in action at the European Championship next summer. The Turks did well in their qualifying pool, finishing just two points behind France, and staying ahead of Iceland and Albania. They even beat the world champion. In June 2019, Turkey was 2-0 too strong for the French. After the strong European Championship qualifying series, a bad Nations League campaign followed. Turkey finished at the bottom of its group in League B, relegating it to the third tier of this tournament.

The Dutch national team was, together with Italy, the big absentee at the previous World Cup, that of 2018 in Russia. The qualification came in a period when things were not going well with the Orange. But a lot has changed in the Netherlands since 2017/2018. A number of good players have broken through, so that there is now a team that must be taken into account. This was already apparent in the Nations League of 2019, when the Netherlands managed to reach the final. Subsequently, qualification for the European Championship was enforced without too many difficulties. For the European Championship final win, the Orange is not the biggest favorite, but behind the top countries, the Netherlands is probably the biggest contender.

The workforce for Turkey vs Netherlands

-The head coach of the Turkish national team is Senol Günes, who is already quite experienced as a trainer. He has a decent selection, although there are of course better country teams in Europe. But with players like Caglar Söyüncü (Leicester City), Merih Demiral (Juventus), Hakan Calhanoglu (AC Milan), Yusuf Yazici (OSC Lille) and Ozan Kabak (Liverpool), something must be possible in this qualifying group.

-Turkey is not a regular customer on the World Cup final round. In 2002, at the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, the Turks surprised by finishing third. The current selection can only dream of such a performance for the time being, but who knows the future will bring.

-In the Nations League last year, things went a little less well, but the Orange did manage to stay at the highest level. The national coach is now Frank de Boer, after the departure of success coach Ronald Koeman to FC Barcelona. De Boer is not a man of big experiments – he mainly continues on the path taken by Koeman.

-For the coming international matches – after Turkey there are duels with Latvia and Gibraltar – De Boer cannot have Virgil van Dijk and Stefan de Vrij at his disposal. The selection includes some surprising names – Jeremiah St. Juste, Kenny Tete – and has a notable absentee. To the surprise of many, VfL Wolfsburg goalgetter was again not called up for the national team.
