NED vs TUR Match Preview
The Netherlands showed their true self in Euro 2024 claiming a 3-0 win over Romania in the last-16 to make their way into the first quarterfinal since 2008. Back then, the competition ended for the Dutch at this stage but Ronald Koeman wants his side to recapture the success of his 1988 title win as a player having got their form back. Qualifying as one of the best third-place teams rather than making the top two in their group, the Oranje shirts replaced the agony of their 3-2 defeat to Austria with Golden Boot chaser Cody Gakpo finding the net again and Donyell Malen scoring a late brace off the bench. The Netherlands are now seeking a first semifinal appearance since 2004 with Turkey in their way whom they thrashed 6-1 in the previous encounter in 2021 to end a three-game winless streak against them.
Austria’s win over the Netherlands earned them knockout qualification as group winners and gave themselves the tag of dark horses in the tournament. However, Turkey brushed away all such claims by picking up a 2-1 victory against Ralf Rangnick's team to secure a third quarterfinal appearance in the Euros. Center-back Merih Demiral scored twice in the game as much as he managed in his previous 47 appearances for the national side with goalkeeper Mert Gunok also pulling out one of the best saves in the tournament history to deny Baumgartner late, after Austria pulled a goal back, made it a memorable evening for Vincenzo Montella’s side. The Turks did it without their star midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu who will be back after suspension against the Dutch to create more history in the first-ever Euro meeting.
