Netherlands vs Türkiye: Betting Tips Outlined
Ben's Banker
I see this being a really, really chaotic game, with both teams refusing to go out with a whimper, and for that reason, I can see it being quite end to end. However, I think that the Netherlands will win the game, with Verbruggen being a large part of that, and this price is very generous.
Bart Verbruggen to make over 3.5 saves - 2/1 at Bet365
Turkey over 2.5 Cards - 4/7 at Bet365
In this tournament so far, Turkey have averaged around four cards per game, and I don't think they have faced an attack with the trickiness of the Dutch. From Xavi Simons to Cody Gakpo, there are several tricky players, and I think there is a good chance that this line could be smashed.

Over 9.5 Corners - 8/13 at Betway
If you're familiar with my tips, you're going to be questioning if I'm ill, but I promise I'm not. For those who aren't, in nearly every preview I've done so far, I've been on the under line, but with both teams averaging nearly seven corners per game, I think this pick is at a great price, and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a lot more during the game.

Netherlands to Win and Both Teams to Score - 12/5 at Bet365
Although I think the Netherlands will win, it will not be an easy game for them, and I can see them struggling during the game at periods with the Turkish pressure, which will come in waves. I do see the Dutch conceding, but I think they're a fantastic attacking outlet and will outscore their opponents.
Cody Gakpo to Score or Assist - 5/6 at BetMGM
For Liverpool, Gakpo has had a rough introduction, and whilst he has shown up on some occasions, it has been a difficult start to life in England. However, in the European Championship, he has been on fire with three goals, and I think during Saturday's game, he will add to his tally. He has two shots per game on target, and makes almost three key passes, so I really like this pick.

Bart Verbruggen to make over 3.5 saves - 2/1 at Bet365
The Dutchman has averaged around three saves per game in the tournament so far, and although the Netherlands will be the dominant team in this game, I don't think they will be plain sailing. The Turkish side averages around four shots on target per game, and I think this pick is a bit of an underpriced market.
Netherlands vs Türkiye Preview
Netherlands - Team News and Key Players
Whilst the Dutch have faced setbacks in the run-up to this tournament, they have not let it affect them so far, and they have an excellent chance of being successful come the end of the tournament.
It is maybe not the most known Netherlands side in history, with players like Frenkie De Jong missing, but it is still very much a Dutch team and that is due to the work of Ronald Koeman who has got the Oranje playing at a fantastic level.
Their midfield has been the biggest thing I have been impressed by so far this tournament, and Koeman has often got it spot on.
With Tijjani Reijnders you get an all-action midfielder, who can impact the game at both ends, but next to Jerdy Schouten, he is allowed slightly more attacking freedom, which is a fantastic thing in itself.
The gem of the team is, undoubtedly, Xavi Simons. After a phenomenal season in the Bundesliga, his confidence is sky-high, and he is a diamond in the midfield. A tricky, skilful wizard in the centre of the pitch that draws in danger, allowing his teammates space, or he is more than capable of taking players on himself.
Defensively, you have a rock-solid core led by the captain, Virgil Van Dijk, who has restored himself to his best levels, and if the Netherlands are eventually successful at the end of this tournament, he will play a huge part
Before the tournament, I predicted them to be one of the underdogs to progress far into the tournament, and so far they have just done that, and I think that we are still, perhaps, to see the best of this side.
If you are looking to side with the favourites for this tie, most of the top football betting sites have odds of around 8/13 for the Netherlands to win.
Türkiye - Team News and Key Players
Many suggested that the Turkish are not eligible for 'Dark Horse' status anymore, and whilst that may be right, they have certainly been a horse of some kind in this tournament so far.
Having only lost to Portugal, the Türkiye side found themselves in a fantastic position when they progressed, scoring goals for fun, barring that game against Portugal, and this trend continued into the Round of 16 when they overcame the odds to beat Austria.
Some label this side as a bit chaotic, and you'd be right to do so, they are a very aggressive team, but they are creating moments for their fanbase, and their players are improving with the added support.
Before the tournament, their record was rocky, but they have turned it around substantially, and look like a genuine threat who will play happily without fear, something that is a dangerous prospect for any team.
This is a team who are not afraid to lose, not by any stretch, and their style of play matches this. Yes, they may be slightly aggressive, but for this side, it offsets opponents, more so than their never-say-die style may do already.
If you are looking to side with the underdogs in this game, then you can do so at odds of near 5/1 with most UK football bookies, and it could be a good price, if they start well.
