There is no doubt who is the more experienced nation in this contest, although the Crescent-Stars have failed to get out of the group stage at both the previous major tournaments. They did though beat Germany in the warm-up to this competition.
Meanwhile, this is the first time their opponents have ever made it to a major competition. Willy Sagnol’s team beat Greece on penalties to make it to the finals. They will have hope too, as Türkiye have not won their opening game at the last five Euros. Watch out for their star man, Napoli’s Khvicha "Kvaradona" Kvaratskhelia.
While these two sides have never played each other at a major tournament, they did meet all the way back in 2012. The Crusaders fell to a 3-1 defeat on that occasion. Indeed, they have lost three of the four friendly meetings between these teams.
Here's how they line up:
Türkiye: Gunok, Muldur, Akaydin, Bardakci, Kadioglu, Calhanoglu, Ayhan, Guler, Kokcu, Yildiz, Yilmaz
Georgia: Mamardashvili, Kvirkvelia, Kashia, Dvali, Kakabadze, Chakvetadze, Kochorashvili, Mekvabishvili, Tsitaishvili, Mikautadze, Kvaratskhelia
