Portugal will be desperate to continue their 100% winning record. It’s a must win for Georgia as they look to cause an upset.
Georgia has been such an exciting side on the eye. It’s a team with talent. Georges Mikautadze and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are the standout duo. Defensively, they’ve struggled, but it adds to the excitement. Willy Sagnol’s men have conceded 49 shots in total in their opening two matches.
The Czech Republic dominated Georgia in their 1-1 draw. What a game it was. Saba Lobjanidze had a golden opportunity to win the game in the final seconds, but he skied his effort.
It won’t be easy, but there’s a chance. Georgia could make the knockout stages if they win here. What a shock that would be.
Portugal has a 100% winning record after two matches. Roberto Martinez’s men have beaten the Czech Republic and Turkey. They now face Willy Sagnol’s Georgia, who’ve been an excellent side to watch.
A Seleção hasn’t won all three matches in a Group Stage since the 2006 FIFA World Cup. They are likely to win once again. The Portuguese squad is excellent. There’s quality all over the pitch. Martinez is spoilt for choice with the depth of talent at his disposal.
Changes are likely from the favourites, given they’ve already claimed the top spot in Group F. Diogo Jota has a chance of starting, whilst Joao Felix and Goncalo Ramos will be desperate to earn their first minutes of the campaign.
Portugal is likely to dominate proceedings. Their talent is far superior, and that’ll show throughout. Georges Mikautadze and Kvaratskhelia will need to perform well if they want their side to have any chance of getting a result.
2008 was the only occasion when these nations met. Portugal ran out 2-0 winners that day.
Portugal hasn’t drawn a match since 2022, a 28-game streak. They were the only side to win all their qualification matches. Georgia had a tricky qualification campaign. Spain, Scotland and Norway finished above them. Only Scotland prevented them from scoring when they met in Glasgow.
Georgia is searching for the first-ever major tournament win. It’ll be some story if they defeat the Euro 2016 winners.
It’s tough to gather any previous statistics between the two sides, given they’ve met once. We have a strong understanding of how this game will take shape. Portugal’s quality will shine. They’ll maintain possession, whilst Georgia will look to make their move on the break.
Here are three interesting stats ahead of this Euro 2024 match between Georgia vs Slovakia.
I’ve taken a closer look at the markets available for this clash. Backing goals looks like a great angle to consider. We can back Over 2.75 Goals on the Asian Market at 1.95 (20/21).
Portugal is the overwhelming favourite. That’s understandable, given just how good their squad is. Even with a complete rotation, there’s a gulf in class between them and Georgia.
I’m focusing on goals in this clash. Over 2.75 Goals is my selection. Giorgi Mamardashvili has been excellent in Germany. The Georgian goalkeeper made five saves against Turkey and 11 when his side faced the Czech Republic. He’s going to be busy once again on Wednesday night.
Georgia has struggled defensively. They’ve allowed 20 SOT (Shots On Target) in their opening two matches. The clash with Portugal will be their trickiest match yet. They must win this encounter. At some point during the clash, they’ll have to attack.
There have been three goals in both of Portugal’s matches so far. Changes are likely. The players on the field will be desperate to impress as they fight for a starting place.
We need three goals in this encounter for our bet to return a profit. I struggle to see how this game isn’t an entertaining one. Georgia isn’t good enough to keep goals out, but they pose a threat in attack.
Over 2.75 Goals is my selection. It pays 1.95 (20/21).
