Holland vs. Turkey: Live Stream, TV Info, Preview for 2014 World Cup Qualifier

Holland will try to forget about their disastrous Euro 2012 performance and focus on the next World Cup as they take on a Turkey side on Friday that cannot be taken lightly.

If the Dutch want to return to the World Cup and finally take home the trophy, they must snap their losing streak, and earn a convincing victory versus Turkey.

Turkey is determined to get back to the World Cup, after failing to qualify for the tournament in South Africa two years ago.

Let's look at everything you need to know about this exciting World Cup qualifying match.

When: Friday, September 7 at 2:30 p.m. ET

Watch: ESPN UK

Live Stream: ESPN3.com

Where: PSV Stadium, Holland

Most Important Player to Watch: Robin van Persie

Robin van Persie is in amazing form right now for Manchester United, and scored a hat trick for the Red Devils against Southampton last weekend. He has four goals in three Premier League games thus far.

He will need to bring that form to the international stage because Holland need his goal scoring to defeat Turkey.

When the Dutch squad get RVP involved, good things happen. He's the most talented player on the team, and the one player capable of dominating the match by himself.

Key Matchup: Holland center-backs vs. Turkey forwards

The center of the Holland defense was dominated at Euro 2012, and it was one of the squad's weakest parts in their nightmarish group stage in Poland/Ukraine.

Turkish players such as Nuri Sahin cannot be given too much time and space or they will tear apart the Holland defense and score goals.

If Holland fails to defend well, Turkey will beat them with ease, and extend the Dutch losing streak.

What They're Saying

Prediction

Holland has a lot of goal-scoring potential in its squad, but the concern is the defense. Goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg could be the most important player for Holland in this match because Turkey will have plenty of shots on goal.

This will be a very exciting match, and Holland will escape with a slim 3-2 victory.
