UEFA Nations League Prediction: Belgium vs Turkey (02-10-2026)

Belgium host Turkey at Stade Maurice Dufrasne in Liège on October 2, with both teams needing a result in Group A1.

Mark van Bommel’s side opened with an impressive 2-0 win away to Italy before losing 1-0 to France through Michael Olise’s 88th-minute goal.

Turkey have had a much rougher start, following a narrow 1-0 defeat to France with a 4-1 home loss against Italy.

Belgium’s opening two performances make the home-win side of this selection relatively straightforward.

They created enough chances to win comfortably in Rome, while France needed a late individual goal to beat them in Brussels.

Van Bommel has already made it clear that he wants Belgium to play with intensity and attack regardless of the opponent.

Turkey’s defensive form is much harder to trust.

Italy scored three times inside the opening half-hour in Bursa, repeatedly exploiting mistakes in and around the Turkish penalty area before eventually winning 4-1.

The more difficult part of the bet is Turkey finding a goal.

Their second-half response against Italy offered some encouragement: Barış Alper Yılmaz scored shortly after the restart, another effort was ruled out for offside, and Arda Güler helped create several further openings.

Belgium have defended well so far in the UEFA Nations League, so a Turkish goal cannot be treated as automatic.

However, their World Cup knockout run also showed that stronger opponents can create chances against them, with Senegal, the United States and Spain all finding the net.

Belgium should have enough quality to exploit a Turkish defence that has already conceded five times in two group matches, while the visitors showed against Italy that they can still threaten once games become more open.

At 2.50, Belgium to Win & Both Teams to Score is the preferred selection.
