Belgium vs Turkiye is one of the standout fixtures of this UEFA Nations League window, with the two sides meeting on 2 October 2026 in Group A. The figures below are as of 30 September 2026: Belgium sit second in this Group A table with three points from two matches, while Turkiye are fourth with none from their opening two games – both in the same group, so the positions are directly comparable.
Head-to-Head Record
Across all 6 recorded meetings between these two sides, running from 28 April 2004 to 3 June 2011, Turkiye hold the edge with two wins to Belgium’s one, and three of the six have finished level. Combined, the pair have scored 11 goals apiece in that span, for an average of 3.67 goals per meeting – a high-scoring history, though it’s worth noting the archive doesn’t extend beyond 2011, so this reflects the most recent meetings on record rather than a longer rivalry. Two of the six games in that window were friendlies rather than competitive fixtures.

Turkiye: Recent Form
Turkiye have managed two wins and four losses in their last six outings, scoring 6 and conceding 11 for a points-per-game rate of 1.00. Their sequence (L L W L L W) includes a 1-4 home defeat to Italy on 28 September 2026 and a 0-1 home loss to France on 25 September 2026. They failed to score in three of the six matches and did not keep a clean sheet in any of them; one of the six – the 2-1 win over Venezuela on 6 June 2026 – was a friendly rather than a competitive fixture, so it should not be read as part of a competitive run.
