After getting off to a flawless start in their World Cup qualifying group last season, beating Finland and Malta by a 10-0 aggregate score, the Netherlands had their record tarnished last time out as Matty Cash fired in an equaliser from the edge of the box.

Still, Ronald Koeman’s team were the better side, accumulating 14 shots and forcing four saves from Lukasz Skorupski in the Polish net, but the Dutch were unable to capitalise after Denzel Dumfries scored within 30 minutes. 

Netherlands do tend to start fast, scoring both of their goals against Finland in the first period, and three against Malta before half-time in their first two qualifying matches.

They will be confident of once again scoring early against a Lithuania side who are yet to win in the group stages. They also had a dreadful Nations League experience just before, losing all six of their fixtures.

Liechtenstein made it seven straight losses on the international stage after losing to Belgium last time out. They are still yet to score in their World Cup qualifying group J, while they have shipped a total of 14 goals.

Although Belgium scored just once in the first-half last time out, they were equally as dominant in both periods - 11 shots in the first 45 minutes led to one goal, while 13 shots in the second period produced five goals. 

Given that Liechtenstein sit 204th in FIFA’s rankings, it comes as no surprise that they have offered up little defensive resistance in the qualifiers. North Macedonia have won seven of their last 10 matches in all competitions, scoring in each of those.

The Red-Yellows landed this bet when they faced Liechtenstein earlier in the group with a 3-0 win, and they now face the same opponent on home turf hoping for a similar result. .

Spain had the game done and dusted in the first half against Bulgaria last time out, leading 3-0 after 38 minutes. In fact, it took just five minutes for Mikel Oyarzabal to open their account in Group E.

In the first-half alone, Spain racked up 14 shots and five big chances in Sofia, scoring three goals while also forcing four saves - the scoreline could have been way worse for the Bulgarians. 

With that in mind, it comes as no surprise that Spain have scored a first-half goal in each of their last nine matches in all competitions. With the likes of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams in the forward line, Luis de la Fuente has real firepower and flair at his disposal, and his troops will hope to get off to a strong start against Turkey, who can be quite a stubborn defensive unit.

Spain will hope to score before the hosts can fully settle.
