In the fourth round of Group E in the European qualifiers for the World Cup, Turkey will host Georgia at Kocaeli Stadium in Izmit. Earlier this fall, at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi, a brace from Galatasaray striker Kerem Aktürkoğlu helped the visitors secure a 3-2 victory. Shortly after halftime, the Crescent Stars led 3-0, but the opponent nearly came back. The teams have met twice previously in Western Asia: in 2002, the hosts won 3-0, and in 2004, the national sides drew 1-1 in Trabzon during World Cup qualifying. Kocaeli Stadium, which will host the match, opened in 2018 and has a capacity of 34,829 spectators.

Under Vincenzo Montella, the Turkish team suffered a heavy 0-6 defeat against Spain following their meeting with Georgia in Konya.

Turkey has won five of their previous nine home matches. In three of the last four home games, the Crescent Stars scored only one goal.
