Our call

Prediction: Belgium 2-1 Türkiye

Belgium played well enough against France to take something and have home advantage. Türkiye need a result after two defeats and have looked open at the back.

Türkiye scored against Italy and have the attacking players to do it again, so we expect both teams to score. These are editorial opinions, not priced recommendations. We have not verified current odds, and player selections depend on the official line-ups.

Form & tactics

Current form and how the match could play out

🇧🇪 Belgium

Belgium won 2-0 in Italy with goals from Mika Godts and Dodi Lukébakio, then lost 1-0 to France in an open game in Brussels. Lukébakio had Belgium's best chance against France.

🇹🇷 Türkiye

Türkiye lost 1-0 to France (Kylian Mbappé) and 4-1 to Italy in Bursa, where Barış Alper Yılmaz scored their only goal. They have conceded five goals in two games.

  • Belgium's front line of Lukébakio, Godts and Charles De Ketelaere has created chances in both games. Kevin De Bruyne is in the squad and gives them a set-piece and final-pass threat.
  • Türkiye's creativity runs through Arda Güler. Italy scored from a corner against them, so Belgium's set pieces are worth watching.

    Dodi Lukébakio

    Scored in Italy and was Belgium's most dangerous player against France. Check he starts.

  • Assist

    Confidence: Low

    Kevin De Bruyne (if he starts)

    Belgium's main set-piece taker and chance creator.

Player markets depend on the confirmed line-up. Some bookmakers protect these bets if the player is substituted — see the Super Sub section.

Substitution protection

Super Sub for Belgium vs Türkiye

Super Sub-style features can continue an eligible player selection with a replacement when the selected player is substituted. The operator's rules determine which selections qualify and how they settle. These features do not guarantee a win or protect team markets such as match results and total corners.

The list below only shows bookmakers licensed in your country with a substitution feature recorded in our database, and the markets their own rules name. Availability on this specific international match is decided market by market by the operator.

Loading bookmakers for your country…

Substitution protection is applied market by market. Coverage of UEFA Nations League fixtures is not confirmed individually for each operator — check that the feature badge is shown on the exact bet before you place it.

18+ · T&Cs apply · Please gamble responsibly

  1. Choose your country and check the operator's local eligibility requirements.
  2. Read the feature rules: eligible players, markets, replacements and bet types can differ.
  3. Confirm the player starts and that the exact selection shows the feature before placing the bet.
  4. Check the final odds and any offer terms. Set a limit you can afford; no bet is guaranteed.

FAQ

Belgium vs Türkiye: questions and answers

What time is Belgium vs Türkiye?

20:45 CEST (19:45 UK) on Friday 2 October 2026 at the Stade Maurice Dufrasne in Liège.

Is Courtois playing for Belgium?

No. Thibaut Courtois is not in Mark van Bommel's squad for this window.

How have Belgium and Türkiye started the Nations League?

Belgium beat Italy 2-0 and lost 1-0 to France. Türkiye lost 1-0 to France and 4-1 to Italy.

Why use a Super Sub bookmaker for this match?

Coaches rotate heavily in a window with two or three games in a week. With Super Sub protection (Sub On Play On, Sub Switch, Impact Sub and similar), an eligible player bet — for example on Dodi Lukébakio — can move to the replacement if your player starts and is substituted. It does not help if he does not start, and the bet can still lose. Check each operator's rules and wait for the official XI.
