All the football bookmakers in Europe have the Netherlands as the favorite to reach the semifinals ahead of Turkey. A win for the Dutch team is set at 1.57 (4/7), while a victory for the Crescent Stars is valued at a huge 6.00 (5/1) on the Netherlands vs Turkey odds. Both teams have had decent performances, and a draw is worth 4.00 (3/1) on the betting sites.
Games between the Netherlands and Turkey have been very exciting, with a lot of goals, and the last meeting wasn’t so great for the Turkish side. The Netherlands won 6-1 as Memphis Depay bagged a hattrick while Cengiz Under scored a late consolation goal. Turkey has won two of the last three meetings but the Netherlands have a better record in overall fixtures.
Ronald Koeman’s team finished outside the top two in Group D but they were able to secure a place in the last-16 as one of the best third-placed teams. The Dutch side had a comfortable win over Romania in their first knockout game, beating the Tricolors 3-0, courtesy of goals from Cody Gakpo and Donyell Malen. Up next for the Dutch team is Turkey and they would be cautious after Austria’s defeat to the Crescent Stars in the last round.
Jerdy Schouten has been a key player for the Netherlands in the absence of Frenkie De Jong and he is one of the first names on the team sheet. Cody Gakpo continued his fine form for the national team while Donyell Malen’s recent brace will give Ronald Koeman some selection headaches against Turkey.
Turkey is having a fantastic campaign so far, and the only team they have lost to is Roberto Martinez’s Portugal team. Vincenzo Montella has done a good job since taking over in September, and he finished second in the group stages, level on points with Portugal. Turkey was the underdog in their last game against Austria, but Merih Demiral emerged as an unlikely hero to net a brace to hand his nation a 2-1 win. Euro football bookies have huge odds on Turkey, but they aren’t going to be pushovers.
Hakan Calhanoglu was suspended for the game against Austria and he makes his return for the quarterfinals vs Netherlands. Real Madrid sensation Arda Guler was played in a more advanced role in the last match and he could start as a false nine in the quarterfinals.

Very few teams can boast of free-flowing football, like the Netherlands and Turkey, in the European Championship 2024. In four games played at this tournament, the Dutch side has scored at least two goals in three matches with a total of seven goals. They are averaging 1.75 goals per game, and the only team they failed to break down was Didier Deschamps’ French side. Like the Netherlands, Turkey has also scored 2+ goals in three matches at the Euro 2024, and they have netted a total of seven goals. Both teams have scored in the last two meetings, a 6-1 win for the Netherlands and a 4-2 win for Turkey. A bet on both teams to score & over 2.5 goals is a valuable option with less risk on the Netherlands vs Turkey predictions.

Cody Gakpo is top of the scoring charts in the European Championship 2024 and he has been one of the best players for the Dutch team. The Liverpool striker has scored three goals in four matches and he has been the first goalscorer for the Netherlands in all three matches. Memphis Depay has taken up a more creative role with the team and this gives a lot of freedom for Cody Gakpo to operate in central areas. Backing the number 11 to score in the semis has good value on the Netherlands vs Turkey betting tips.

The Netherlands have a better team on paper and they are the favorites on betting odds for Euro 2024 football. Both teams have been superb in attack, but the Dutch team has a better defense and they could limit the Turkish team to just one goal. Ronald Koeman’s team is ranked top seven in the world, and they have more options off the bench than Turkey. A close game with at least three goals is expected here and there’s a good chance the Netherlands will pick up a slim win vs Turkey. A 2-1 correct score in favor of the Dutch team is a good offer on our high-value Netherlands vs Turkey betting predictions.
