Barış Alper Yılmaz gave Türkiye a brief lifeline against Italy on Matchday 2, pulling the score back to 3-1 before Italy restored the gap within three minutes.

That flash of attacking quality, set against a defence that has now shipped five goals in two games, frames a tricky visit to Liège where Belgium will fancy adding to their own goal tally.

A group decider with plenty on the line

Belgium sit level with Italy on three points after opening Group A1 with a 2-0 win in Rome, where Mika Godts finished off a Kevin De Bruyne pass before Dodi Lukebakio added a second-half solo goal.

Mark van Bommel's side then lost 1-0 at home to France, undone only by a Michael Olise strike in the 88th minute, though France had most of the ball and Belgium's first shot on target did not arrive until Lukebakio tested Mike Maignan in the 73rd minute.

Türkiye, by contrast, have lost both group matches, going down 1-0 to France and then 4-1 to Italy, leaving them bottom of the pool with a minus four goal difference and nothing to show from six points on offer.

France lead the group outright, and only the top two progress to the Nations League quarter-finals, so both sides have reason to press for goals in Liège.

Belgium vs Türkiye Prediction

Both Teams To Score: Yes looks the shrewd read here.

Yılmaz's goal against Italy showed Türkiye can trouble even stronger defences, and history between these sides leans toward shared goals, even if that pattern dates back to a 2011 draw rather than anything recent.

Belgium's defensive record this campaign, conceding just once across two matches and shutting out Italy entirely, is the counterweight, and Türkiye's blank against France proves they can also go missing at the other end.
