The last two matches between Netherlands and Türkiye have seen a combined 13 goals (6.5 per game), with Türkiye winning 4-2 in March 2021 and Netherlands winning 6-1 in September 2021, both in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup.

Netherlands have progressed from five of their last seven major tournament quarter-finals (World Cup/EUROs), although one of the two exceptions in this time was most recently, losing a penalty shootout to Argentina at the 2022 World Cup. This is the Oranje’s first European Championship quarter-final since 2008, when they lost 3-1 to Russia.

Türkiye have reached the quarter-final of a major tournament (World Cup/EUROs) for the fourth time, after EURO 2000, the 2002 World Cup, and EURO 2008. They reached the semi-final of the latter two of those, failing only at EURO 2000 when they lost 0-2 to Portugal.

Netherlands have only progressed from three of their last nine knockout ties at the UEFA European Championship. After beating Romania 3-0 in this year’s round of 16, the Oranje are looking to win two knockout ties in a single edition of the finals for only the second time, after 1988, when they won the competition.
