Turkey qualified for the third consecutive EURO, but their previous two finishes were in the Group phase. In the EURO Qualifiers, Turkey secured the top spot, ahead of Croatia. Prior to the tournament, Turkey had struggled with promotion from UEFA Nations League C to B and failed to reach the World Cup in Qatar. Bookies offer odds between 60 and 70 of Turkey winning the title. Georgia, on the other hand, reached its first EURO appearance after finishing 4th in Group with Spain, Scotland, Norway, and Cyprus. They qualified via playoffs after winning UEFA Nations League C and beating Luxembourg and Greece, granting them a historic appearance. Bookies view Georgia as the weakest team in the tournament, offering odds of 375 on winning the title.

Turkey’s preparation for the EURO has been poor, with only one point and two goals in four friendly matches against Poland, Italy, Austria, and Hungary. Despite good ball possession and chances, Turkey’s realization is a problem. Georgia, with stars Mamardashvili and Kvaratskhelia, lacks the quality to play a free-flowing game against any in the Group. They should slow the pace and look for counterattacks. Georgia’s recent offensive success was only against poor teams not on Turkey’s level, such as Montenegro, Luxembourg, Cyprus, and Thailand. In the EURO Qualifiers, Georgia scored only six goals in six games. An under 2.5 goals bet is considered the safest option for this EURO match.

Injuries have left several key players, including Caglar Soyuncu, Ozan Kabak, Cengiz Under, and the team’s best striker, Enes Unal, out of the EURO. Unal expressed disappointment in missing the competition due to an injury. The striker position is likely weakest, and coach Vincenzo Montella is likely to choose Barış Alper Yılmaz, despite his winger role.

Jaba Kankava, Georgia’s top player, will miss the first EURO after retiring from international football. Kankava is second on the national team’s all-time list with 101 appearances.
