The Red Devils are second in Group 1 of League A with three points, while Turkey are at the bottom with zero points after defeats to France and Italy. Belgium will be without Diego Moreira through suspension, while Romeo Lavia will need to pass a late fitness test after being forced off against France.
Mike Penders is also facing a late assessment. Dodi Lukebakio is expected to benefit from Moreira’s absence, with Kevin De Bruyne likely to start in an attacking role. Thibaut Courtois and Jeremy Doku are notable absentees from the Belgium squad. For Turkey, goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir is available again after serving a suspension, while Abdulkerim Bardakci and Ferdi Kadioglu are expected to return to the starting XI.

Belgium vs Turkey Match Prediction
Belgium will enter the contest with three points from their opening two matches, while Turkey are still searching for their first points after back-to-back defeats. Belgium have won three, drawn five and lost three of their previous 11 meetings with Turkey. However, Turkey have lost only one of their last seven matches against Belgium. The visitors are expected to provide a strong challenge, but Belgium could use their home advantage to secure a narrow victory.
