Netherlands vs. Turkey picks and predictions
Prediction
Netherlands 3, Turkey 1
Moneyline (ML)
BET NETHERLANDS (-175).
Netherlands is a side with numerous experienced players, and that should bode well as it continues in the tournament. It has high-level scoring in F Cody Gapko and also has one of the best defenders in the world in D Virgil van Djik. While it drew France and lost to Austria, it had more shots on target in the former match and more shots in total in the latter.
Turkey is void of that type of leadership, like Austria was. Turkey lost in pre-Euro friendlies to Hungary (1-0), Austria (6-1) and Poland (2-1). Against quality sides, like Portugal, it has struggled. While these odds aren’t great, they are still playable for the favorite.
At this value, TAKE NETHERLANDS (-175).
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 2.5 (-130).
Netherlands has scored 2 or more goals in 3 of 4 matches so far in the tournament and has topped this total in 3 of 4 matches. It has gone north of this total in 8 of its last 9 games as well, scoring at least 2 in 7 of those. It has players that compete on world-class clubs like F Xavi Simons, who plays for PSG, and Gapko, who plays for Liverpool. It should be able to break through a porous Turkey backline.
As for Turkey, it has gone north of this total in all 4 Euro games and has gone Over it in 5 straight. It has scored 7 goals in 4 matches, so it has an attack capable of producing as well. With the high-power offenses in mind, back OVER 2.5 (-130). If you’re feeling aggressive, you might even consider the alternative Over 3.5 (+205) for a juicy payout,
