Turkey will aim to maintain their impressive form and secure a spot in a European Championship semi-final for only the second time in their history when they take on the Netherlands on Saturday.
On the other hand, the Dutch had a convincing win against Romania and will be optimistic about their chances of going far in the tournament.
Team news
The Netherlands have no injury or suspension worries, and Ronald Koeman is expected to stick with the same starting lineup that defeated Romania in their last match.
Turkey will see Hakan Calhanoglu and Samet Akaydin return from suspension, but Orkun Kokcu, Ismail Yuksek, and Merih Demiral are all suspended for this game.
The stats
Three or more goals have been scored in three out of four of the Netherlands’ games at Euro 2024.
Over 2.5 goals have been scored in all four of Turkey’s Euro 2024 matches.
Together, these two teams have netted a total of 14 goals in the tournament so far.
Seven of the Netherlands’ last eight matches have seen at least three goals scored.
Prediction
The Netherlands displayed a dominant performance in the round of 16 against Romania and are expected to come out on top in another high-scoring game in Berlin against Turkey.
Although Turkey managed to secure a surprise 2-1 victory over Austria, they conceded 3.1 expected goals to their opponents in that game and have lost the expected goals battle in three out of their four Euro 2024 matches.
Nonetheless, Vincenzo Montella’s team has shown their attacking prowess, leading to numerous entertaining and high-scoring matches. All of Turkey's fixtures have witnessed at least three goals, with a total of seven goals scored and six conceded.
The Netherlands have also scored seven goals but have only conceded four, making their matches quite entertaining in the tournament.
Collectively, the eight games involving these two nations have averaged three goals per match, with three or more goals being scored in seven of the Netherlands' last eight games.
In their previous encounter, the Netherlands defeated Turkey 6-1, resulting in a total of 16 goals scored in their last three meetings. Another exciting and high-scoring game is anticipated in Berlin.
