Georgia vs Turkey Prediction 4 January 2025

📢What surprises will the Carpathian Trophy hold on the second day of play? In the Romanian city of Mioveni, there will be a clash between the national teams of Georgia and Turkey. At the start of the tournament, the Georgian handball players could not break their losing streak. Will they be able to deliver a more successful performance this time? We will try to find out in the prediction below.

Head-to-Head

2️⃣The teams rarely meet in official matches against each other. Back in 2014, they exchanged victories during the World Championship qualifications. At that time, Turkey managed to win with a score of 29:23, while in the return match, Georgia won with a score of 33:26.

Georgia

📝Last year, Georgia distinguished itself by qualifying for the European Championship. In their debut performance at the European Championships, the Crusaders managed to secure a victory only against Bosnia and Herzegovina (22:19). Of course, this was not enough to advance to the main round, but even such a result can be considered an achievement for the Georgian team. Unfortunately, since then, Georgia has not managed to win any more games, and the defeat against Serbia (25:35) at the start of the Carpathian Trophy became their 7th in a series of setbacks.

Turkey

📝The Turkish handball players are capable of competing at a high level and show good results in European championships. Two months ago, the Turkish handball players attempted to qualify for the European Championship. Although that performance did not bring them success, they left a positive impression with their play in matches against stronger teams like Austria (28:31) and Germany (29:36). If Turkey has managed to maintain their form during the break, then they should not face difficulties with opponents in the upcoming matches.

Editor's Prediction

📊The upcoming match could very well offer us an abundance of goals; however, it is hard to believe in the success of the Georgian team. In the opening match, the team suffered a rather crushing defeat from Serbia, without showing noticeable improvements in their game. In our view, the most optimal outcome for betting is Turkey to win with a handicap (-3.5).
