As the only nation to have won all three games without conceding, it has become apparent Spain are the team to beat at the 2024 Euros. A convincing 3-0 hammering of Croatia was followed up by a dominant display against the Italians, before Albania also failed to land a glove on them.
With an experienced, world-class spine featuring Aymeric Laporte, Rodri and Alvaro Morata, with a sprinkle of some of the best young talents on the planet, including Lamine Yamal, Spain's comeback for supremacy looks stronger than ever.
Georgia have won over the whole of Europe for their performances in the group stage and they without doubt deserve to be in the knockout stage. Their incredible victory over Portugal saw them secure third place in Group F, but will have to prove that wasn't a one-off result against the strongest side in the competition.
No one has scored against Spain as of yet, but Georgia will have to break that in order to stay in the competition. A tall order, indeed.
Having lost just one of their last ten matches in all competitions (1-0 loss vs Colombia in a friendly) Spain are looking incredibly tough. Resilient at the back, but with the players capable of spinning a game on its head, not many would fancy their chances against them.
With Croatia, Italy and Albania in the group, it makes there results look even stronger. Something Gareth Southgate's England can't also share. Spain are highly unlikely to go all the way without conceding, but they may step into the semi-finals with a fourth clean sheet.
After Georgia's 3-1 defeat to Turkey, they bounced back to earn a hard fought point against Czech Republic. In fact, in all three games Georgia have shown a tremendous amount of fight and a real togetherness which has served them well.
With talented players, make no mistake that Spain won't have it easy throughout the 90 minutes, but their clash against Spain means they have no choice but to find another gear.
It's a real case of David vs Goliath on Sunday evening after England's match against Slovakia, but on this occasion it doesn't look as though David will conquer, despite their best efforts.
What more can we say about Spain? They've been ruthless when required, as well as defending incredibly well at the same time throughout the group. They won't have faced a nation like Georgia at this Euros as of yet, which will provide another test, but an early goal would set the tone for Spain.
Although Georgia's result against Portugal was impressive, don't let that lure you in. Spain very much look the team to beat in Germany, and anything else would be a shock.
Spain have been tremendous so far and you'd have to be a brave person to back against them. However, due to their skinny price, we're introducing a bet builder to add more juice to our selection. Backing Spain to win to nil and over 1.5 match goals pays out at 6/5 with bet365, which looks like a strong selection to back on Sunday evening.
