Turkey have not qualified for the finals of a World Cup since 2002, when they finished third, but a talented squad certainly has the capabilities of securing a spot in next year's competition. Senol Gunes's side sit at the top of Group G, though, having collected 11 points from their five matches, including impressive victories over the Netherlands and Norway back in March, but they have disappointingly been held by Latvia and Montenegro in two of their last three matches. There is no getting away from the fact that the Crescent-Stars disappointed at Euro 2020, losing all three of their group-stage matches, scoring just once and conceding eight times in the process. Turkey, meanwhile, will enter Tuesday's clash off the back of a 3-0 win over Gibraltar on Saturday all three goals came in the second period, with Halil Dervisoglu, Hakan Calhanoglu and Kenan Karaman coming off the bench to find the back of the net. In terms of what is ahead, Netherlands will take on Latvia and Gibraltar in their next two qualifiers in October before travelling to Montenegro and hosting Norway in their final two matches in November. Memphis Depay netted twice for Oranje, while Georginio Wijnaldum and Cody Gakpo were also on the scoresheet during a strong display, and Van Gaal's side will now be looking to beat Turkey to move to the top of the group entering the final straight. The three-time World Cup finalists were held to a 1-1 draw by Norway on Wednesday night but returned to winning ways in impressive fashion on Saturday, putting four answered goals past Montenegro in Eindhoven. Netherlands famously failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, and Louis van Gaal's side are certainly in a battle in Group G, with Turkey and Norway both impressing in the qualification section.Ī record of three wins, one draw and one defeat from five matches has seen Holland collect 10 points, which has left them ahead of third-placed Norway on goal difference but one point behind section leaders Turkey. Turkey are currently top of the section with 11 points to show from their first five matches, while the Netherlands occupy second position in the group, one point behind their opponents here. Netherlands will be looking to move above Turkey to the top of Group G when the two teams continue their World Cup 2022 qualification campaigns in Amsterdam on Tuesday night.
