Turkey National Football Team
Turkey and Georgia will compete in Group F of Euro 2024, but Turkey are heavy favourites to come out victorious on Tuesday evening’s opening match. After beating Georgia 3-1 in their final qualifier for Euro 2024 qualifiers with Real Madrid youngster Arda Guler and Roma’s Mert Muldur scoring goals-of-the-tournament candidates like Arda Guler scoring goal-of-the-tournament candidates to secure victory, host Turkey will have no shortage of confidence entering Tuesday evening.
Vincenzo Montella has chosen an array of youth and experience for Euro 2024, with Inter Milan’s Hakan Calhanoglu to lead them as captain at the tournament. Additionally, young attacking exuberance from Real Madrid’s Arda Guler and Juventus’ Kenan Yildiz are set to join Montella’s final squad.
Young Turkish roster stars like Galatasaray’s Kaan Ayhan and Lille’s Yusuf Yazici represent Galatasaray and Lille respectively, with Yusuf Yazici making his international debut off the bench for Lille. Montella could choose to include 18-year-old Can Uzun in his starting XI; however, Can may benefit more by being introduced off the bench initially.
Turkey have much to celebrate under Montella, yet their Euro 2024 debut has been marred by three injury concerns ahead of kick-off. Enes Unal, Caglar Soyuncu and Ozan Kabak have been sidelined through injury.
On the flipside, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of Napoli can add some steel in central defence while Metz’s Georges Mikautadze and Watford’s Giorgi Chakvetadze provide reliable options in central midfield.
Kvaratskhelia sends in a cross from the left which beats everyone in the box but Akaydin dives to his right to make an important save and clear away his ball from danger. When Zivzivadze comes forward with an open goal before shooting wide!
