Turkey vs Georgia: Euro 2024 prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h, odds today
A far better European Championship is the target for Turkey tonight as they kick-off their Euro 2024 campaign against Georgia.
Tipped as potential dark horses at last Euros, they ultimately crashed out of the group without winning a game.
This time around, they are in an open-looking Group F alongside Portugal, Czech Republic and Georgia.
They begin their campaign against Georgia, who are making their major tournament debut in Germany after winning their play-off in March thanks to a decent showing in the Nations League.
As Belgium and Ukraine can attest, taking opponents of their stature lightly is a bad idea.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Turkey vs Georgia is scheduled for a 5pm kick-off time today, Tuesday 18 June, 2024.
The BVB Stadion Dortmund (Westfalenstadion) will host.

Turkey vs Georgia team news
Turkey are without several injured players including Bournemouth’s Enes Unal for the tournament, as well as former Leicester defender Caglar Soyuncu and ex-Liverpool loanee Ozan Kabak.
For Georgia, much of the focus will be on Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, while Giorgi Mamardashvili of Valencia in goal is believed to be attracting a lot of transfer interest.
Experienced defender Solomon Kvirkvelia and midfielder Otar Kiteishvili are both doubts.
