Belgium claimed a comfortable three goal victory against Turkiye in their latest Nations League fixture. Kevin de Bruyne led the way with two brilliant goals, while Romelu Lukaku added a third to seal the result. The hosts controlled the match despite Turkiye creating a few dangerous chances.

De Bruyne makes his mark

De Bruyne proved his quality with two long range strikes and strong overall play. He created multiple chances for his teammates and won the majority of his duels before coming off near the end. His recent form shows he remains a vital player for his national team.

Next up against France

Belgium face a tough away fixture against France next. A victory in that match would send Mark van Bommel's side to the top of Group A1. Both teams will need to be sharp as top spot in the group is on the line.

Betting market impact

Strong performances from key players like de Bruyne will shorten Belgium in the outright tournament markets. Punters backing them for upcoming fixtures can expect shorter odds following this dominant display.
