Georgia vs Turkey Prediction
Georgia vs Turkey Prediction and Betting Tips for the opening match of UEFA Group E qualifying on Thursday. The clash at the Dinamo Arena sees Georgia dreaming of a first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance, while Turkey arrive looking to confirm their progress after a strong Euro 2024. In this article, you’ll discover World Cup Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Georgia start their World Cup qualifying campaign unbeaten in their last four games.
- Turkey come into this match with only two defeats in their last 10 outings.
- The two sides last met at Euro 2024, where Turkey won 3-1.
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Hakan Calhanoglu headline the star names on show.
Georgia are still buzzing from their historic Euro 2024 run, where they reached the Round of 16 before bowing out to eventual winners Spain. That’s no small feat for a nation that had never graced a major tournament before. Under Willy Sagnol, they’ve built a steady momentum, unbeaten in their last four outings, including a Nations League playoff hammering of Armenia that finished 9-1 on aggregate. With stars like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia pulling the strings and Giorgi Mamardashvili guarding the posts, the Jvarosnebi are daring to believe. Can they turn belief into a winning start?
But Turkey are no strangers to spoiling the party. Their Euro 2024 quarter-final run showed they can hang with Europe’s best, and their recent Nations League promotion to League A confirms that momentum isn’t just a fluke. Vincenzo Montella has shaped this squad into a dangerous mix of experience and youthful firepower. Kerem Akturkoglu was lethal in their Nations League campaign, and Arda Guler is quickly becoming one of Europe’s hottest prospects. It’s hard to overlook how comfortable Turkey looked in their last meeting with Georgia: that 3-1 win at Euro 2024 was clinical.
Head-to-head history doesn’t lie either. Turkey have won four of the six meetings, including both of the last two by identical 3-1 scorelines. Georgia’s only success came way back in 2007, and they’ll know history isn’t on their side. Still, the Dinamo Arena will be rocking, and sometimes passion and home advantage can tip the balance in ways stats can’t explain. Could this finally be the moment Georgia flips the script?
Even so, the visitors arrive with better short-term form, losing just twice in their last ten matches. With Spain looming in the group, both sides know how vital a fast start is. For Georgia, avoiding defeat keeps the dream alive. For Turkey, three points away from home would make a statement. Either way, this has all the makings of a fierce, emotional battle: one that could set the tone for the rest of Group E and influence every bold World Cup Predictions to come.
Turkey come into this clash with stronger pedigree, sharper form, and a head-to-head record that firmly favors them. The Crescent-Stars have lost just two of their last 10 matches, including a confident 6-1 aggregate win over Hungary in the Nations League playoff. Their attack has been firing, with Kerem Akturkoglu scoring five in that campaign, and Arda Guler continuing his rise as a creative force. Against Georgia, Turkey have history on their side: four wins in six meetings, including a comfortable 3-1 victory at Euro 2024. Georgia are unbeaten in four, true, but those results came against weaker opposition like the Faroe Islands and Cape Verde. Facing a team of Turkey’s caliber is a different test altogether. Add in the fact that Georgia’s only win in this fixture came way back in 2007, and the odds clearly lean toward Montella’s side. Turkey’s balance of experience and youth should see them through.
