The Netherlands vs Turkey Prediction
The Netherlands have re-appointed the experienced Louis van Gaal as manager after a poor Euro 2020 campaign. Van Gaal is a wily operator, and he has already made some important decisions regarding tactics and personnel.
Turkey, on the other hand, were abysmal at Euro 2020. Despite boasting good talent, they failed to perform at the tournament. Manager Senol Gunes, like van Gaal, is highly experienced.
The Netherlands should be able to win here.
Prediction: The Netherlands 2-0 Turkey
