"The Oranje's margin of victory has been two goals or more in 16/19 home games"

Back Netherlands -1.5 on the Asian Handicap @ 2.47/5 v Turkey

Better teams than Turkey have been defeated in the cauldron of Amsterdam, says Tobias Gourlay

Netherlands v Turkey
Saturday 19:45
(Live on Sky Sports 5)

Hapoel Jerusalem 1 Ironi Kiryat Gat 0 in Israel yesterday lunchtime. Hopefully you all missed it because of the early kick-off.

Today we step gingerly onto the international stage. Euro 2016 Group A rivals Netherlands and Turkey were also together in World Cup 2014 qualifying.

The Oranje won both of those games 2-0 and look overpriced to win by a similar margin this evening.

Guus Hiddink's men have suffered ignoble defeats in Iceland and the Czech Republic but on home soil their form is imperious. They've scored nine times in winning their first two in Amsterdam.

Those results are part of a home winning streak in competitive games of 19. The margin of victory has been two goals or more in 16/19.

Turkey's recent away results? A discreditable draw in Latvia and a 3-0 defeat in Iceland.
