After securing a goalless draw against Italy in their last warm-up match, Turkey aims to give their fans another reason to cheer when they face Georgia in their EURO 2024 opener. Key player to watch for Turkey will be Inter midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu, while Hoffenheim defender Ozan Kabak is sidelined after tearing a knee ligament against Italy.
Willy Sagnol’s team, on the other hand, comes into the match with confidence following a 3-1 victory over Montenegro in their latest friendly. Georgia will rely on Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia against Turkey. However, we are leaning towards Vincenzo Montella’s squad due to their greater experience compared to Georgia. It’s notable that Jaba Kankava will be absent for the Georgians. In their last international encounter in 2012, Turkey emerged victorious with a 3-1 win over Georgia, supporting our prediction.
Prediction: 1-0
