"Starting with the hosts, while Turkey might have signed off September with a woeful 6-0 drumming at the hands of reigning European champions Spain, the Crescent Stars came roaring back in some style over the weekend. Putting in what was a dominant display as they cruised their way to a 6-1 romp away at Bulgaria, Vincenzo Montella's side will be confident of making another statement here."
"As for the visitors, although Georgia might have cruised their way to a 3-0 routine 3-0 romp against Bulgaria on September 7th, it appears that might have just been a minor boost for Willy Sagnol's camp. Last seen over the weekend falling to a 2-0 loss at the hands of La Roja, the Crusaders find their Group E dreams hanging by a thread ahead of Tuesday's showdown."
Turkey rebounded from a 6-0 defeat by Spain with a 6-1 away win at Bulgaria and enter the Kocaeli fixture confident of progressing in Group E. Turkey opened World Cup qualifying with a 3-2 victory against Georgia and can move closer to a top-two finish with another positive result. Turkey clinched a Nations League top-flight ticket in March via a 6-1 aggregate win over Hungary and have impressed with free-scoring performances. Hakan Calhanoglu earned his 100th cap and will lead the side, Ugurcan Cakir will start in goal, and Kenan Yildiz and Arda Turan are named. Georgia beat Bulgaria 3-0 in September but lost 2-0 to Spain, leaving their qualification hopes precarious under manager Willy Sagnol.
