Turkey vs Georgia prediction
Under the management of former Italy international Vincenzo Montella, Turkey come into this one on the back of a 6-1 demolition of Bulgaria at the Vasil Levski in Sofia the other day. Their 6-0 loss to Spain last month means they are going to have to settle for a playoff spot but they are still playing well.
They face a Georgia side that, even in the absence of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, have an impressive and emerging squad that is putting up a fight in most games, as was the case in a 3-2 loss to Turkey in Tbilisi last month. They were beaten 2-0 by Spain the other day at the weekend.
Georgia are a team that play with slick moves on the counter-attack and this should be a fun watch but the Turks remain favourites with their home advantage.
Turkey vs Georgia tip: Turkey to win & both teams to score
