Turkey host Georgia in a crucial Group E fixture of the 2026 FIFA World Cup European qualifiers on Tuesday. The hosts are looking to build on their emphatic 6-1 victory over Bulgaria at the weekend, a result that lifted them to second place in the group. Georgia, meanwhile, arrive on the back of a defeat to Spain and cannot afford a second consecutive loss if they are to keep their playoff hopes alive.

WC Qualification Europe

Turkey team overview
Turkey’s qualifying campaign has been a mix of highs and lows. Their emphatic 6-1 win over Bulgaria on Saturday was a statement of attacking intent, with young talents such as Arda Güler playing pivotal creative roles, contributing two assists and a goal. However, their defensive fragility was brutally exposed in a 6-0 home defeat to Spain, which damaged their goal difference and raised concerns about their backline - they have yet to keep a clean sheet in their last three qualifiers.
As of the latest updates, Turkey have no major injury concerns. Arda Güler remains their standout performer in attack - the Real Madrid prodigy has registered one goal and three assists in three World Cup qualifiers so far.

Georgia team overview
Georgia’s recent performances have shown both promise and inconsistency. They secured an impressive 3-0 home win over Bulgaria earlier in the campaign, demonstrating their attacking potential. However, their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 defeat to Spain, during which they managed just one shot on target across 90 minutes. Although they were completely outplayed in that encounter, facing a side of Spain’s calibre provides valuable experience.
Earlier in the campaign, Georgia’s 3-0 victory over Bulgaria and their spirited 3-2 loss to Turkey highlighted their ability to compete for a top-two finish in the group. Willy Sagnol’s side will need to rediscover that level of performance to keep their qualification hopes alive.

Prediction
All things considered, Turkey go into this match as slight favourites, primarily due to home advantage and momentum from their big win over Bulgaria. Their attacking assets - including Güler and Aktürkoğlu - mean they are capable of scoring multiple goals, though Spain’s thrashing showed that defensive lapses are costly. Georgia, while capable, will likely have to absorb pressure and look for transitions or set‐pieces to threaten.
A realistic scoreline prediction is Turkey 2-1 Georgia or Turkey 3-1 Georgia, with both teams likely to score.
Three reasons we expect Turkey to Win
- Turkey defeated Georgia 3-2 in the reverse fixture earlier in September.
- After suffering a heavy 6-0 defeat to Spain, Turkey bounced back impressively with an emphatic 6-1 away win over Bulgaria.
- Georgia are winless in their last five head-to-head meetings against Turkey, while the hosts have only lost to European powerhouses - Spain and Portugal - in their last eight home matches across all competitions.
