Turkey vs Georgia Prediction World Cup Qualifiers
Turkey vs Georgia Prediction and Betting Tips for Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier at the Kocaeli Stadyumu. Turkey hold second spot in Group E and can tighten their grip with a win, while Georgia must take something to keep their playoff hopes alive. It’s a rematch of that wild 3-2 clash earlier in the campaign and you can dive deeper into all the Soccer Stats right here on XpertStats.
- Turkey sit second in Group E with six points, chasing a first World Cup berth since 2002.
- Georgia trail by three points and need a win to stay in the playoff race.
- Kenan Yildiz and Arda Guler lead Turkey’s in-form attack after the 6-1 win over Bulgaria.
- Georgia’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has scored three goals in his last four international matches.
After a mixed start to their qualifying run, Turkey rediscovered their spark in a 6-1 demolition of Bulgaria. The return of flair players like Arda Guler and Kenan Yildiz has given Vincenzo Montella’s side a dynamic edge. Captain Hakan Calhanoglu was the anchor in midfield, dictating play and setting the tempo. It feels like a side that finally believes again. Still, can they handle the pressure when it matters most? That’s the question that lingers over Kocaeli.
Montella will likely stick with the same lineup that produced six goals last weekend. No injuries, no surprises, just confidence. Turkey have won their last three meetings with Georgia, scoring three times in each. That’s no fluke. The Crescent-Stars are lethal when space opens up, especially at home. Yet, even with all that momentum, there’s a lingering sense of caution. One slip could throw the playoff picture wide open.
Georgia arrive in Turkey knowing this could define their entire campaign. Willy Sagnol’s men have shown flashes of promise, that 3-0 win over Bulgaria in Tbilisi was no accident, but consistency has been their undoing. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia remains their star, dazzling defenders and carrying hope on his shoulders. Giorgi Mamardashvili’s saves kept them alive against Spain, but the defense will have to be sharper this time around.
Still, Georgia’s courage can’t be questioned. They’ve never beaten Turkey away in a competitive game, yet something about this team feels hungrier, bolder. They’ll push high, look for transitions, and test the backline early. Whether that’s enough to snatch a result, it’s hard to say. But with both sides full of attacking intent and recent form pointing toward goals, this could be another thriller for fans tracking the Soccer Stats this week.
Both Turkey and Georgia have shown plenty of attacking intent in recent fixtures, which makes “Both Teams to Score” a smart choice. Turkey have scored at least three goals in seven of their last eight matches, including a 6-1 hammering of Bulgaria. They’re confident at home and have multiple creative threats in Guler, Yildiz, and Calhanoglu. On the other hand, Georgia might be inconsistent, but they’ve found the net in six of their last eight games. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s form is electric, while Mikautadze adds another layer of danger up front. Georgia may concede, but they rarely fail to score and given their need for points, they’ll likely attack. Turkey’s defense isn’t airtight either, with six goals conceded in three group games. With both sides desperate and talented in attack, a clean sheet seems unlikely. Expect a lively, open contest with goals at both ends.
