The last quarter-final at the European Championships sees the Netherlands play Turkiye at Olympiastadion Berlin.
What awaits the winner of this match is a battle against England or Switzerland in the semi-final.
Netherlands current form
The Netherlands only progressed from the group stage after finishing as one of the best third-placed nations. They finished behind France and Austria and ahead of Poland.
The Oranje put in their best performance of the tournament so far in the last-16 stage as they dispatched of Romania with a 3-0 victory. Cody Gakpo scored in the first half, with Donyell Malen netting a double late on.
Turkiye current form
Turkiye finished second in Group F behind Portugal and ahead of Georgia and Czechia.
Their last-16 clash against Austria was one of the best matches of Euro 2024 as they emerged as sensational 2-1 winners.
There will be one likely change from Ronald Koeman as Steven Bergwijn had to be withdrawn due to injury in the Romania game.
Even if he is fit, Doneyll Malen will likely start as he came off the bench to score two in that game.
There won’t be any other major alterations.
Vincenzo Montella’s selection dilemmas surround suspensions. He will welcome talisman Hakan Calhanoglu back into the fold following his suspension, but Orkun Kokcu and Ismail Yuksek both picked up bookings in the Austria win and will miss out.
Merih Demiral could be suspended by UEFA following a controversial celebration gesture a few days ago.
Scoreline Prediction
Turkey put everything into that Austria win and looked notably fatigued in the latter stages, while the Netherlands were fairly comfortable in their win versus Romania.
That could play a part, but Turkiye will land some blows.
