Turkey vs Georgia Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | UEFA Euro 2024

The Crusaders will be playing their first major tournament.

Turkey have endured a difficult run of form in the last five matches as they failed to register a single win. They also had a poor record in the friendly matches as they drew against Italy in the first match followed by a loss against Poland.

Coach Vincenzo Montella will be aiming to begin the tournament with a positive result as they take on debutant Georgia in the opening match. They do have a good mixture of experience with young guns like Arda Guler who will be raring to make their mark. 

Georgia created history after qualifying for the Euro 2024 as they will be playing in a major tournament for the first time in their history. They beat Greece on penalties in the playoff match to secure their place. Willy Sagnol will be happy with the way his team have been performing lately.

The Crusaders had good preparation in the last friendly as they defeated Montenegro to secure a comprehensive 3-1 win over them. They have Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze in their squad, who will be important for their chances in the tournament.

Player to Watch

Hakan Calhanoglu (Turkey)

Hakan Calhanoglu had an incredible season with Inter Milan, helping them win the Serie A title. He scored 13 goals and provided three assists, proving to be an essential player for the team. Calhanoglu is considered one of the best midfielders due to his versatility. He excels in defending, scoring free kicks and is a threat from outside the box with his ability to score spectacular goals.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Georgia) 

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has developed into an exciting player during his time at Napoli. He helped the team win the Scudetto in his first season. Although this year was not the best for the team, he can be proud of his performance, having scored 11 goals in 45 appearances and providing seven assists. Kvaratskhelia is brilliant with the ball at his feet, easily beating opponents with his speed and trickery.
