Turkey vs. Georgia: Prediction for the First Round Match of Euro 2024.
Turkey vs. Georgia: Prediction for the First Round Match of Euro 2024. Turkey faces Georgia in a historic game for the debutants. Both teams are expected to score in this exciting encounter.
Turkey: Five Matches Without a Win
Turkey's preparation for the European Championship under head coach Vincenzo Montella has been challenging. In four friendly matches in 2024, they have not secured a single win and suffered three defeats – against Hungary, Austria, and Poland. Only against the reigning European champions, Italy, did they manage a 0-0 draw.
In the last continental tournament, Turkey left a disappointing impression, scoring only one goal in three matches. Given the current performance trend, a significant improvement seems unlikely. Even in a relatively simple group, advancing to the playoffs could be difficult. The first game at Euro 2024 will answer many questions about the Turkish team.
Montella's interesting style at "Adana Demirspor," without traditional strikers, is something he aims to implement with the national team, which lacks quality central forwards. Cenk Tosun is aging, and Semih Kilicsoy is still young.
Georgia: A Historic Game
Georgia is the only debutant in the European Championship. Naturally, not much is expected from them. This situation is conducive to surprises. If Georgia loses all three matches, it's not a big deal; if they manage to pull off a significant surprise, it will be fantastic.
In the first match, Turkey will face more pressure, as they cannot afford to drop points. Otherwise, their chances of advancing to the playoffs could be jeopardized, especially with a match against the favorite, Portugal, looming.
Georgia's preparation included only one friendly match, where they confidently defeated Montenegro 3-1. In their last seven matches, they have only one loss – to Spain, 1-3.
Prediction
The early days of the European Championship have been marked by high-scoring games, with almost all teams finding the net. Georgia's talented players are concentrated in the attack, and the excitement of their debut at the European Championships could help them make history. At least one goal from Georgia is expected. If this happens, Turkey will need to attack aggressively. Thus, considering both teams to score is a must.
Bet: Both Teams to Score (Yes) – Odds: 2.08
