Football prediction Türkiye vs Georgia, group F EURO 2024: Exciting

Georgia will play their first match at EURO , while for Turkey this will be their sixth appearance.

Turkey have been in a bit of a slump, failing to win their last five games, including three defeats. They drew goalless with Italy earlier this month and lost 1-2 to Poland in their final 'warm-up' match before heading to Germany.

At EURO 2020, Türkiye lost 3 matches in the group stage and tried to improve that in this European football festival.

Georgia's spirits are high, with their first appearance at the European football festival. In the friendly match against Montenegro last week, Georgia won 3-1.

BBC Sport football pundit Chris Sutton points out: Türkiye look like everyone's favourites to cause a surprise at the tournament. That was the case at EURO 2020 too, and they lost all their group games!

He believes that at EURO 2024, Türkiye should do better, with Hakan Calhanoglu bringing experience and Real Madrid's young star, Arda Guler, being watched.

The expert commented: “ Georgia are the lowest ranked team at EURO 2024 but I don’t think they will be eliminated in the group stage. This is their first match at a major tournament and I back Georgia to get a draw. Prediction: Turkey 1-1 Georgia ”.

Sportskeeda also pointed out Türkiye's worrying performance at EURO: They only won 1 out of 7 matches and scored only 4 goals.

Meanwhile, Georgia have won all of their games in 2024, keeping two clean sheets in three. They have also scored at least two goals in five of their last seven games and will be looking to build on that. This is Georgia's 'debut' at the EURO and they may be a little nervous. Prediction: Turkey 1-1 Georgia .

Meanwhile, Sportsmole experts believe that Turkey will take all 3 points in the opening match of Group F of EURO 2024: “ Georgia are likely to be a tough opponent for Turkey and we back them to score their first goal at the European Championship. However, Turkey have enough quality to take all 3 points on the opening day. Prediction: Turkey 2-1 Georgia ”.

Expected lineup:

Turkey : Cakir; Celik, Demiral, Ayhan, Kadioglu; Ozcan, Calhanoglu; Kahveci, Akturkoglu, Yildiz; Yilmaz

Georgia : Mamardashvili; Kverkvelia, Kashia, Dvali; Kakabadze, Kiteishvili, Kochorashvili, Shengelia, Chakvetadze; Kvaratskhelia, Mikautadze
