Two sides in very different form lock horns on Thursday in the Nations League, and my Turkey vs. Belgium prediction will dive into why I expect the visitors to grab all three points on matchday five.
I'll also highlight a goal scorer prop from the Red Devils, which kicks off at 12 p.m. ET from Gursel Aksel Stadium in Ikmir, Turkey. The match will be broadcast live on FS1.

Turkey vs. Belgium best bet

Belgium moneyline (-130 at DraftKings)
Belgium have been a mixed bag in this Nations League campaign, but in fairness, this is an incredibly tough group alongside Italy, France, and of course, Turkey.
While the Red Devils have collected a 2-0-2 record so far, they hammered Turkey on matchday three on home soil, beating them 3-0. The hosts have lost all four of their Nations League matches following a very disappointing World Cup this past summer.
The Crescent-Stars have conceded 11 times in this competition while scoring only twice. Belgium's attack has serious talent, and I expect the likes of Jeremy Doku and Charles De Ketelaere to cause real issues for a vulnerable Turkish backline.
Play to: -160
🆚 Who will win Turkey vs. Belgium?
Belgium has a clear advantage in this match. Kevin De Bruyne pulling the strings in the middle of the park is always dangerous, and their frontline has already shown it can break down Turkey's defense. I expect a convincing win.
Score prediction: Turkey 0, Belgium 2

Charles De Ketelaere anytime goal (+195 at DraftKings)
Charles De Ketelaere has been impressive for Belgium lately. He scored three goals in five appearances at the 2026 World Cup this past summer, and while he's yet to find the back of the net in the Nations League, De Ketelaere has had his fair share of chances and two assists.
He's started three of four games in this competition for the Red Devils, and for his club Atalanta, De Ketelaere has notched 14 shots in his last four Serie A appearances.
Turkey's backline is a nightmare, and with De Ketelaere expected to lead the line, I like him to score his first of the tournament here.
