Our Predictions
Turkey's recent resilience and the slightly better odds suggest they might just clinch it, especially in a match where both sides could find the net. Recent encounters have shown Turkey can score and hold their nerve, making a Turkish win with goals a solid pick.
Given the tactical nature of recent matches and both teams’ defensive setups, a tight, low-scoring draw is plausible. Both sides have shown they can scrape out results, but offensive fireworks seem unlikely.
While Georgia might fancy their chances on home soil, recent form suggests they’ll play a cautious game and rely on solid defending. Expect a tight 1-0 or 1-1 outcome, especially with both teams not overly prolific in front of goal.
