Team Analysis
Ronald Koeman’s team did not impress much in Group D, finishing third behind Austria and France. However, the Oranje delivered a strong performance in the round of 16 with a decisive 3-0 victory over Romania, much to the delight of our correspondent Andy Delaney. Koeman and his squad will hope this confidence-boosting win will propel them to further success as they face Turkey in the German capital.

Merih Demiral scored in both halves to lead Turkey to the quarter-finals, eliminating a highly-regarded Austria team on Tuesday night. This victory marks the first time in 16 years that the Crescent Stars have reached the last eight of the European Championships. They now aim to replicate their 2008 feat by securing a semi-final spot in Berlin.

After coming off the bench to score twice against Romania, Donyell Malen is pushing for a place in the Netherlands' starting XI on Saturday night.

Hakan Calhanoglu, who served a one-match suspension against Austria, will almost certainly return to Turkey's starting lineup in Berlin.

Head-to-Head
The two sides met during World Cup 2022 qualifying, with Turkey winning 4-2 in Istanbul, while the Dutch took revenge with a 6-1 victory in Amsterdam. The Netherlands have won six of their 14 total meetings, losing just four times.

Prediction
Both teams to score has been a successful bet in three of Turkey’s four matches at Euro 2024, and the same wager looks promising at 4/5 (Betfred) for Saturday night.

Vincenzo Montella’s men have scored in all but one of their last 10 competitive matches, but they have only kept three clean sheets in that period, with both teams scoring in six of those games.

Moreover, both teams have scored in two of the Netherlands’ four matches at Euro 2024 so far, adding to the appeal of backing each team to find the net at the Olympiastadion.

Pick: Both Teams to Score - Yes
