EURO 2024 is in full swing, with almost all groups having played their first matches. The first matches were very productive, with the winning teams scoring at least three goals several times. This undoubtedly only makes it more attractive for the spectators.
As we approach the main battles, it is almost certain that we will not see so many goals in every match.
⚽ Match prediction: Turkey win @ 1.73 |
On 18 June at 18:00, Group F will kick off with Turkey vs. Georgia, followed by Portugal – Czech Republic at 22:00.
Georgia qualified for EURO 2024 through an extra qualification, where they were lucky with their opponents. They beat Luxembourg in the semi-finals and the Greeks in the final.
It will be the first time that Georgia will play in the European Football Championship, and it will undoubtedly be a great celebration for both the players and the country.
However, it should be noted straight away that Georgia is one of the weakest, if not the weakest, teams in the championship. Their group is also not the easiest – apart from the Portuguese, the other teams are of a lower level but with high ambitions.
The Turks could be in better shape going into the European Football Championship, with four friendlies, one draw against Portugal, and three defeats against Hungary, Austria, and Poland.
Meanwhile, Georgia has played one friendly match since playing an extra qualifier for this tournament in March. They beat Montenegro 3-1 in a friendly game. The numbers seem to be on Georgia’s side, but looking at the strength of the teams, the Turks are the clear favourites here.
Only a few players in the Georgia national team play in the local championship. All are scattered across different European teams, but the level of the teams is not the highest. The only one who stands out is the country’s star, 23-year-old Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who has already scored 15 goals in 30 matches.
Meanwhile, most of the Turkish national team plays for Fenerbahce or Galatasaray, but there are also talents outside Turkey, such as Arda Guler of Real Madrid.
The Turkish team looks more balanced, with undoubtedly more experience at this level. To qualify for the next round, it is necessary to beat Georgia, the clear outsider in the group. It is also worth noting the bet -1.0 Asian handicap with odds of 2.35.
