Turkey

The side topped their qualifying group, losing only once in their 8 games (5 wins, 2 draws). This is going to be the 6^th European Championship for Turkey. The national side has qualified for the knockout phase on two occasions. However, they failed to do so in the last two editions of the tournament. Turkey have played two friendly games prior to the start of Euro 2024 with the following opponents: Italy (0:0) and Poland (1:2).

 Despite pretty good results, a new head coach was appointed three rounds before the end of the qualification campaign. The current head coach is Vincenzo Montella. Çağlar Söyüncü, who is an experienced defender, will miss this tournament due to an injury.

• At least one team has failed to score a goal in 5 out of the last 6 European Championship games Turkey have played. Both teams to score – No – 1,65

• Turkey have scored a maximum of 1 goal in 5 out of their last 6 European Championship games. Turkey Under 1.5 – 1,80

Georgia

Georgia finished penultimate in their qualifying group. However, they were the best team of their UEFA Nations League group, so it gave them a chance to qualify for Euro 2024 via play-offs. Georgia beat Luxembourg (2:0) and Greece on penalties to get to the European Championship for the first time in their history. This is the first big tournament for the Georgian national side. The team has played only one friendly game preparing for Euro. They beat Montenegro (3:1).

• At least three goals have been scored in 5 out of the last 7 official games Georgia have played. Over 2.5 – 2,20
• Georgia have scored at least a goal in regular time in 6 out of their last 7 Euro 2024 qualifying games. Georgia to score – 1,65

Turkey vs Georgia Prediction

A positive impulse after a new head coach was appointed didn’t last for long for Turkey. The situation looks dangerous now as their winless streak has already reached 5 games (2 draws, 3 defeats). Turkey have scored a maximum of 1 goal in these games. They’re unlikely to improve their attacking actions for Euro.

Georgia are ready to perform well as they’re totally focused on the games of the tournament. They’re highly motivated. Georgia haven’t lost 6 out of their last 7 games in regular time (4 wins, 2 draws), with 4 clean sheets. They will be an inconvenient opponent for Turkey, with the game likely to see just a few goals, if any at all.

Our prediction is Georgia to win or Draw + Under 2.5 at 2,90.
