Turkey – the shape of the team and its analysis:

“The Janissaries” changed their coach during last year’s qualification. And it was the victories under the new coach, Montella, including over Croatia, that became the key ones: the team had qualified for the championship by November, ahead of schedule.

The latest success was a 3-2 away win in a control match with Germany. The year 2024 ended in a draw in the struggle with Wales, and there were defeats made by Hungary, Austria and Poland. And only the confrontation with Italy brought a 0-0 result.

Georgia - form analysis:

“The Crusaders” rewrote their football history. This is the first generation that entered the Euro (and the “big” tournament in general)! One way or another, it is reasonable to mention that last year’s qualification was mediocre: the team won only against Cyprus, twice, and drew once in the games with Norway and Scotland.

The spring play-offs were the key ones. There, Willy Sagnol’s team beat Luxembourg with a 2-0 score in Tbilisi and, after a goalless draw, calmly took the penalty, knocking out the Greeks – as a result, the coveted ticket was reached. Speaking about the summer, the team limited itself to only 1 control match, with Montenegro – it was won with a 3-1 result.
