Over 2.5 goals

Turkiye will be hoping to continue their excellent run and reach a European Championship semi-final for just the second time in their history when they face the Netherlands on Saturday.

However, the Dutch were convincing victors against Romania and will fancy their chances of a deep run in the tournament.

Team news

The Netherlands are without any injury or suspension concerns and Ronald Koeman is likely to field an unchanged starting lineup from the one that beat Romania last time out.

Turkiye will welcome back Hakan Calhanoglu and Samet Akaydin after the duo served their suspensions, but now Orkun Kokcu, Ismail Yuksek, and Merih Demiral are all suspended for this tie.

Three or more goals have been scored in three of the Netherlands’ four Euro 2024 games.

Over 2.5 goals has landed in all four of Turkiye’s Euro 2024 fixtures.

These two sides have scored 14 goals between them in this tournament.

Seven of the Netherlands’ last eight games have produced at least three goals.

Prediction

The Netherlands put in a dominant display to see off underdogs Romania in the round of 16 and they can win another high-scoring affair in Berlin when they face Turkiye.

The Crescent-Stars hung on to claim a surprise 2-1 win over Austria, but they allowed their opponents 3.1 expected goals in that clash and have now lost the expected goals battle in three of their four Euro 2024 games.

Despite this, Vincenzo Montella’s side know where the back of the net is, and the result of this has been plenty of entertainment and a flurry of high-scoring games involving the Turks. All four of their matches have produced at least three goals, with Turkiye scoring seven times and conceding six.

The Netherlands have matched Turkiye’s goal tally but conceded just four at the other end, although their fixtures have been some of the more entertaining affairs in the tournament.

These nations’ eight combined fixtures have averaged three goals per game and Ronald Koeman’s side have seen three or more goals scored in seven of their last eight matches.

The last meeting between the Netherlands and Turkiye saw the Dutch win 6-1, meaning a massive 16 goals have been scored in the last three encounters between the two. Another high-scoring matchup is expected in Berlin.
