Note: Before the game, Turkey have received 18 yellow cards at EURO 2024; in the history of the European Championships, only the Czech Republic in 1996 has received more cards in a single edition (20 – 19 yellows, one red).

✅ Stats before the game: In the last two matches between the Netherlands and Turkey, a total of 13 goals were scored (6.5 on average per game): 4-2 victory for Turkey in March 2021 and 6-1 success for the Netherlands in September 2021, both in qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup. The Netherlands have progressed five of the last seven times they have played in a quarter-final of a major international tournament (European/World Cup), although one of the two exceptions was the most recent: defeat on penalties against Argentina in World Cup 2022. This will be the Oranje’s first European Championship quarter-final since 2008, when they lost 3-1 to Russia. Turkey has reached the quarter-finals of a major international tournament (European/World Cup) for the fourth time in its history, after EURO 2000, the 2002 World Cup and EURO 2008. In the last two they reached the semi-final, while EURO 2000 was eliminated by losing 0-2 against Portugal. The Netherlands have only progressed in three of their last nine knockout matches at the European Championships. After beating Romania 3-0 in this year’s round of 16, the Oranje could win two knockout matches in a single edition of the tournament for only the second time since EURO 1988, when they won the competition.
