Turkey vs Georgia Prediction, Betting Tips & Preview – Euro 2024

Turkey and Georgia face off on the 18th June at the Signal Park stadium in Dortmund at 5pm (GMT). Turkey consists of seasoned players like Hakan Calhanoglu and Burak Yılmaz, whilst Georgia, entering their first ever major tournament, will rely on the performance of key players like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who has been instrumental in both creating and scoring goals. This is a match based on Turkey’s tactical acumen under coach Vincenzo Montella, and Georgia’s fight to prove they have what it takes under the improvements of Willy Sagnol. Keep reading as we delve into how this game might play out. We’ll also provide our top betting tips for this exciting encounter.

Turkey vs Georgia Betting Tips

There are a couple of interesting betting opportunities for this matchup. Turkey, with their higher world ranking and seasoned players are the likely favourites, whilst Georgia remains possibly the biggest underdog of the entire tournament. That being said, they can be totally unpredictable as evidenced by their previous performances where they’ve lost 7-1 against Spain to then go on to claim an 8-0 victory over Thailand. Despite Turkey’s commendable performances in the qualifiers, they’ve struggled to remain consistent, as highlighted by their previous two friendly losses, including a 6-1 defeat by Austria. Considering this game could go either way, we recommend placing bets on individual players to score. Given Georgia’s tendency to rely on Kvaratskhelia to create opportunities and score, you could wager on Kvaratskhelia to score anytime or to have over 1.5 shots on target. Another good bet would be both teams to score as previous performances indicate they concede and score in most matches. 

Turkey vs Georgia Match Prediction

Although Turkey have struggled to find consistency in their last few matches, they have the advantage of a more experienced squad capable to taking on even higher ranked teams, evidenced by their recent 3-2 victory over Germany. In comparison, Georgia’s experience of taking on a world class team ended in big defeats where Spain smashed them 7-1 and then 3-1 during the qualifiers. With that said, we think the scales might tip in Turkey’s favour, although Georgia, with their enthusiasm of making it this far in the competition, won’t give it up easily.

Turkey vs Georgia Correct Score Tips & Prediction

As previously mentioned, we expect both teams to score and Turkey to edge the win, so perhaps a narrow victory of 2-1 would be a good prediction for this game. This scoreline reflects both teams ability to find the back of the net, whilst Turkey will likely control more possession and find slightly more opportunities due to their squads experience and depth.

Turkey vs Georgia Over & Under Betting Tips

Betting on over 2.5 goals might be wise considering both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defence. Georgia’s attacking style of play might contribute to a higher scoring game as it puts the odds in favour of them scoring as well as getting caught by counterattacks.
