Turkey Struggles for Form
While Turkey boasts more experience in the European Championships, having participated in the group stage five times previously, their recent form paints a worrying picture. They are winless in their last five games across all competitions, with three losses. A goalless draw against Italy and a 2-1 defeat to Poland this month highlight their struggles.
Georgia Makes Historic Debut
Georgia, on the other hand, is brimming with excitement as they make their first-ever appearance at the Euros. They secured their spot in the group stage through a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Greece in the qualification playoffs. Their winning momentum continued with a convincing 3-1 triumph over Montenegro in a pre-Euro friendly.
Head-to-Head and Predictions
Despite Turkey’s experience, Georgia holds the upper hand in recent form. Historically, Turkey has dominated the head-to-head record with three wins from five meetings, but three of those encounters produced high-scoring affairs with over 2.5 goals.
Considering Turkey’s recent slump and Georgia’s debut jitters, a close match is anticipated. With key players missing from the Turkish squad and Georgia’s attacking prowess, a 1-1 draw seems like a likely outcome.
Can Turkey overcome their struggles and get their Euro campaign off to a winning start, or will Georgia spoil their party on their historic debut?
