Turkey (W) vs Belgium (W) Prediction 17 June 2026
🔊 The second week of the Women's Nations League kicks off with a crucial clash between Turkey and Belgium. Both teams wrapped up the opening stage level on points, but their journeys to this tally have been markedly different. Turkey are finding their rhythm and look to strengthen their squad for the upcoming fixtures, while Belgium aim to build on their recent momentum after a challenging start. Can Belgium spring another surprise, or will Turkey live up to their billing as favourites?

Editor’s Prediction
Turkey enter this clash as favourites, boasting a stronger squad and a superior head-to-head record, but Belgium cannot be underestimated in their current form. The Belgian side finished the opening week on a high, claiming back-to-back five-set victories and matching Turkey almost step for step in both wins and total points scored so far. Statistically, Belgium have surpassed the 67.5-point mark in ten of their last eleven matches, underlining their consistency in attack. Even if Turkey justify their status as favourites, Belgium look more than capable of making this a real contest and snatching at least a set. The most reasonable prediction for this matchup is to back Belgium’s individual total over 60.5 points as a safe bet.
