Group G gets up and running with the derby, Turkey is the second seed and hosts the Netherlands team who are favorites to finish top of the standings in the World Cup 2022 qualifying campaign. Read our reasons for Turkey vs Netherlands prediction and betting tips.
Turkey is coming off a 2-0 defeat in Hungary in a UEFA Nations League fixture back in November. Second-half goals from Ferencvaros striker David Siger and Kasimpasa midfielder Kevin Varga secured the win for Hungary. They looked dangerous in spells but failed to find the cutting edge in attack. The result means the Turks have been relegated in the competition but they will be hoping for a much better campaign and the more important in the World Cup qualifiers. Their form has not been great lately and they head into Wednesday’s match with one win in their last eight matches but they have every talented group of players that are on the rise.
Senol Gunes' men will be banking on their home form as they are unbeaten in their last three matches on their turf. Two of those matches have ended in stalemates, playing out a 2-2 draw with Serbia, they were also held 3-3 by Croatia. Turkey has named a strong squad, with the likes of AC Milan midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu and veteran Lille striker Burak Yilmaz capable of causing problems. Young players like Feyenoord midfielder Orkun Kokcu and Liverpool center-back Ozan Kabak could also prove to be crucial.
As for Turkey, Leicester City midfielder Cengiz Under is unavailable for his side's upcoming fixtures due to injury, so Yusuf Yazici should get the nod out on the right. The hosts boast plenty of attacking firepower, with Hakan Calhanoglu expected to play just off Cenk Tosun, who has two goals in two appearances for Besiktas. Galatasaray midfielder Taylan Antalyali and Goztepe winger Halil Akbunar are both in contention to earn their first senior international caps over the next week or so.
Turkey: Gunok; Celik, Soyuncu, Demiral, Erkin; Yazici, Turfan, Yokuslu, Calhanoglu, Karaman; Tosun
The Netherlands, on the other hand, beat Poland 2-1 last November at the Silesian Stadium. Second-half goals from Lyon attacker Memphis Depayand Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum ensured victory for the Netherlands. Derby County winger Kamil Jozwiak scored the consolation goal for Poland. Frank De Boer's men have looked solid in their recent outings and head to Turkey unbeaten in their last five matches. They are also unbeaten in seven away matches, although three of the last four have ended in draws.
The Dutch team boasts plenty of quality in attack and has scored in each of their last four matches. Their major problem is a leaky defense as they have kept no clean sheets in that run. Even in the absence of Virgil Van Dijk, The Netherlands, on the other hand, have a talented pool of players to pick their squad from. Youngsters like AZ Alkmaar stars Teun Koopmeiners and Myron Boadu miss out, with manager Frank de Boer preferring the experience of Galatasaray's Ryan Babel and Sevilla's Luuk de Jong.
The Netherlands were expected to be without one of their key men, Lyon forwards Memphis Depay, due to restrictions imposed by the French government on traveling during the coronavirus pandemic. That would have seen Ryan Babel, who is now plying his trade for Galatasaray in Turkey, come into the side, with Steven Berghuis favorite to get the nod on the opposite flank. It has since been confirmed that Depay has been given the all-clear to link up with his national side due to the French government making an exception to the mandatory quarantine regulation. Tim Krul was selected in goal during the last international break, but Jasper Cillessen has since returned from injury and is likely to start in goal on Wednesday.
Netherlands: Cillessen; Dumfries, De Ligt, Blind, Wijndal; De Jong, Klaassen; Berghuis, Wijnaldum, Depay; De Jong

In 12 head-to-head encounters between the two sides, the record is fairly even. The Netherlands have won five games, lost three, and drawn four. The two countries last faced each other in 2015, with Turkey beating the Netherlands 3-0. Goals from midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup, former Atletico Madrid star Arda Turan and striker Burak Yilmaz sealed the deal for Turkey. This match is likely to be an open encounter, so the goals market is there to offer some rewards. BettingKick’s Turkey vs Netherlands prediction: Both teams to score.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
