Turkey meets Georgia in the EURO 2024 opener. The two units have already played in the qualifiers, but the draw didn’t care too much about that, yet put them together once more.
Turkey News
The problem with the Turkish team is that they always tend to play much weaker on the road than at home. They had some remarkable games in the qualifiers, like a win over Croatia on the road, 0-1, yet overall, the disbalance between home and away events is apparent.
This team is limited in certain areas but tends to cover them with incredible passion and determination. However, that doesn’t always bring results. For instance, they haven’t won in a single of four test matches ahead of EURO.
Georgia News
Georgia’s record in recent times is three wins in the last three appearances, with only one goal allowed. We need to respect that. They reached Germany through the playoffs, beating Luxembourg and Greece in the big finals following the penalties.
This team doesn’t have superstars apart from Napoli’s Kvaratskhelia, but then again, even he can’t help them against some better teams. Georgia is a very tough in terms of running and physicality, but overall very limited team.
Turkey vs. Georgia Head to Head
These countries last met in a friendly international in 2012, when Turkey won 1-3. Prior to that, they also had a friendly in 2007, but Georgia won in this event, 1-0.
Turkey vs. Georgia Betting Tip
The Turks are a better team when looking at their roster and their exprience in playing big games. We don’t want to sound like we underestimate Georgia, but they had a lot of luck reaching Germany, while Turks won their spot fair and square. Therefore, we pick the nominal “hosts” to triumph in this event.
