The Netherlands were hugely impressive in their 3-0 win over Romania in the round of 16, and that was more in line with how they played in their pre-tournament friendlies, when they obliterated Iceland (4-0) and Canada (4-0) while hardly conceding a shot on target.
But their three group-stage games left a lot to be desired. They wound up third in a challenging Group D thanks to a 3-2 loss to Austria, 0-0 draw with France, and come-from-behind 2-1 win over Poland.
In short, the Dutch have been inconsistent. But I do expect their phenomenal back-line of Virgil van Dijk, Stefan de Vrij, Nathan Ake, and Denzel Dumfries to control proceedings. Romania generated just five shot attempts (one on target) and 0.24 goals over 90 minutes on Tuesday.
Turkey is stacked with attacking talent, scoring seven goals in four games so far, and their last two meetings with the Netherlands were both wildly high-scoring affairs (a 6-1 Netherlands win in September 2021 and a 4-2 Turkey win in March 2021, both during World Cup qualifying).
That’s not how Saturday’s game is going to play out, though. In their penultimate pre-tournament friendly, Turkey went to Italy and held Gli Azzurri to a 0-0 draw in which the teams combined for just 1.35 xGF. Turkey also held high-scoring Austria off the board for 66 minutes in their 2-1 round-of-16 victory. While Austria made a concerted push late in the second half and wound up with 21 shot attempts (five on target), Turkey’s defense gave up next to nothing in the first 45 minutes despite leading from the first minute on.
The Dutch aren’t going to concede in the first minute, and I don’t expect this game to resemble the open, free-flowing matchups between these teams from 2021. After the Netherlands took an early lead against Romania in the 20th minute, there wasn’t another goal in the game until the 83rd. If they do take a lead, they know how to protect it without being overly aggressive.
That said, Turkey has a considerably more potent attack than Romania, and if they do fall behind, will put a lot more pressure on Van Dijk and company.
