Turkey vs Netherlands: Predictions, tips & betting odds

Turkey have been in strong form in the UEFA Nations League and they should be able to record another victory in Istanbul this week

Turkey aim to continue their excellent record in the UEFA Nations League and secure promotion back to League B on Thursday evening when they host Luxembourg.

The relegation to League C of the competition has seen them completely mismatched in their clashes against Faroe Islands, Lithuania and Luxembourg and Stefan Kuntz's side have won all four of their matches without conceding.

These two sides met in June with Turkey recording a 2-0 win, and Luxembourg's campaign in League C has been extremely impressive.

Indeed, the small nation are arguably on their best run of form ever, with two wins and a draw from their last four matches.

The visitors are priced at 17/2 (9.50) with bet365 to record what would be one of the biggest victories in their history while Turkey are priced at 2/9 (1.22) and the draw is available at 5/1 (6.00).

Turkey vs Luxembourg first goal scorer odds

Getafe striker Enes Unal is the favourite to break the deadlock with the former Manchester City forward available at 9/2 (5.50) ahead of Marseille's Cengiz Under and Brentford's Halil Dervisoglu both at 5/1 (6.00).

The shortest priced player to open the scoring for the visitors is Daniel Sinani with the Norwich City midfielder available at 14/1 (15.00).

Turkey vs Luxembourg preview

Luxembourg may be enjoying one of their best ever runs of form but over the last 12 months they have failed to score against Portugal, Bosnia, Republic of Ireland, Serbia and most recently against Turkey.

The hosts for their part have kept four consecutive clean sheets in their modest group and should be backed to record another shutout on Thursday.

The market is understandably one-sided in favour of the hosts but there is some value in backing Turkey to win to nil at home against the side ranked 93rd in the world.
