Netherlands v Turkey Best Bets
Both teams to score would have paid out in three of Turkey’s four matches at Euro 2024 so far and siding with a repeat on Saturday night stands out at 1.80 on Paddy Power. As already mentioned, Turkey have blanked in just one of their last 10 competitive contests. However, at the other end of the park, the Crescent Stars have failed to keep the back door shut in seven of those 10 tussles, with both teams getting on the scoresheet on six occasions across that 10-game sample.
As for the Netherlands, they demonstrated that they are by no means bulletproof defensively when conceding against Poland on matchday one before shipping three against Austria in their final group game. In fact, both of those matches delivered goals at both ends, and there is plenty of scope for a repeat in Berlin on Saturday night.
As for a player-based selection, Denzel Dumfries stands out for attempting just one shot during this quarter-final tie. The flying full-back is an incredible athlete and will pose a real threat to Turkey’s backline. The Dutchman was averaging 0.67 shots per game during Euro 2024 qualifying and he has averaged the exact same figure across his opening three appearances of the tournament.
On top of this, Dumfries was averaging 0.88 shots per game for Inter Milan during the most recent Serie A season, further highlighting his habit of trying his luck. Given that Turkey’s full-backs are given licence to get forward, Dumfries should have space to move into and be presented with shooting opportunities, making him an eye-catching option for just one attempt at 1.50 on Paddy Power.

📊 Netherlands Form and Stats
The Netherlands are in good nick and they appear to be flying under the radar after a low-key showing in Euro 2024 Group D. However, the Dutch did hold France to a draw during the pool phase and they have since swatted Romania aside with relative ease. Not only that, the Netherlands have lost just two of their last 10 competitive contests, triumphing in a sizeable seven of those assignments.
It’s also worth noting that the Oranje have only failed to score in two of their 38 matches since exiting Euro 2020 at the hands of the Czech Republic three years ago.
The Netherlands’s best performance at this year’s European Championship came against Romania on Tuesday evening. Ronald Koeman’s side enjoyed 65% possession and managed to win the shot count 23-5, with the shots on-target count reading 6-1.
In Cody Gakpo, the Netherlands have the tournament’s joint top-scorer within their ranks. The Liverpool forward has netted three times across his four outings at Euro 2024. After coming off the bench to bag a brace against Romania, Donyell Malen is currently only one goal behind his compatriot Gakpo in the race for the coveted Golden Boot.
The Netherlands have been one of the most well-behaved sides at Euro 2024, picking up just four yellow cards en route to the quarter-final stage, two of which were received against Romania last time out.
It may come as a surprise to learn that Virgil van Dijk has committed more fouls than any other player who is still active at Euro 2024. The Dutch defender has given away 10 free kicks in four games, a tally that currently sees him tied with Austria’s Stefan Posch and Slovenia’s Gnezda Cerin.
📊 Turkey Form and Stats
Having reached the quarter-final stages of a European Championship for the first time since 2008, Turkey remain on an upward curve following their 2-1 win over Austria on Tuesday night. The Crescent Stars have lost just one of their last 10 competitive matches, with the only real blot on their copybook during that period coming against Portugal on matchday two at Euro 2024. What’s more, that solitary setback against the star-studded Selecao is the only game in which Vincenzo Montella’s men have failed to make the net bulge at least once across that 10-game sequence.
After being involved in a fiery Group F curtain-closer with the Czech Republic, Turkey’s round of 16 tie with Austria was a much calmer affair from a card perspective. Just four yellow cards were issued, with both sides receiving two apiece. That means Turkey have received two or more bookings in each of their last 10 meaningful matches.
Consequently, the Crescent Stars still remain the most ill-disciplined side in the competition by quite some distance, having racked up a tournament-high 18 cautions. Match officials regularly found themselves reaching for their pocket during Turkey’s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, with their preliminary fixtures producing an average of 6.63 cards per 90 minutes
Vincenzo Montella’s side will be in high spirits going into this game and morale will be further boosted by the return of Hakan Calhanoglu. The Crescent Stars captain missed out against Austria due to suspension after picking up two yellow cards during the group stage.
⚔️ Netherlands v Turkey Head-to-Head
The two nations were housed in the same section during the qualifying stage for the 2022 World Cup. Turkey ran out 4-2 winners in Istanbul before crashing to a 6-1 defeat in the return match at the Johan Cruyff Arena. Memphis Depay scored a hat-trick in that demolition job and the Dutch forward will be targeting his second goal at Euro 2024 against Turkey on Saturday night.
This quarter-final tie will see the two teams go toe-to-toe for the first time ever at a major international tournament. The Oranje have emerged victorious from six of the overall 14 meetings between the duo, while Turkey have four wins to their name. The other four encounters ended all square.
