Netherlands vs Turkey: prediction for 7.09.2021

Netherlands vs Turkey prediction

On 7 September 2021, a match between the national teams of the Netherlands and Turkey will take place within the qualifying stage of the FIFA World Cup. The victory of one of these teams will give the opportunity to become the sole leader and head of Group G. 

Having made a prediction for the match Netherlands – Turkey, we have identified the leader of the upcoming match.

The national team of the Netherlands is second in Group G with 10 points scored. This qualifying cycle is not the easiest one for the team. The Dutch lost at the start of the qualification to the Turkish national team (2:4), did not manage to defeat the Norwegians but decimated Latvia and Gibraltar. It is worth noting the good performance of Memphis Depay this season, which will greatly help his team in the match against Turkey. The Dutch Eleven yearn for revenge for the defeat against the Turks in the first round, and the victory will bring them the lead in the group.

The Turkish national team does not lose steam and confidently takes the first line, one point ahead of the national team of the Netherlands. The team has 11 points scored with three wins and two draws. The last match for the Turks was also successful, the national team of Gibraltar was defeated (3:0). However, the Dutch Eleven is already a completely different opponent, a team with a fast attack and a star line-up. A win or a draw will help the team to save its first position.

Before making a prediction for the match Netherlands – Turkey, the staff of our analysts suggests considering the results of recent matches of both teams.
