Spain – Georgia Prediction: Top Bets to Try

Here are our essential betting tips for this European Nations Championship match.

Prediction 1: Spain to win and over 2.5 goals scored

The only team in this Euro 2024 to have won all three of its group stage matches, Spain continues its path towards a possible final victory this Sunday. La Roja is probably the team that has made the biggest impression during this first phase of the competition. Combining technical quality above the norm and a now more direct game, the Spanish selection seems to have found the right formula. For its part, Georgia created a sensation by beating Portugal in its last match of this group stage, thus snatching an unexpected and already historic qualification. As the odds presented above illustrate, the 2010 world champion remains however largely the favorite for this round of 16 of Euro 2024. Indeed, Spain has so far displayed very few weak points. Well established, sure of its strengths, this team can go very far provided it continues at this pace. The prediction “Spain wins and more than 2.5 goals scored” is rated at 1.78 at Betclic.

Prediction 2: Both teams to score

On the eve of this round of 16 of Euro 2024 between Spain and Georgia, the situation is very clear, it would take a miracle for Willy Sagnol’s men to reach the quarter-finals. The Crusaders should still remain faithful to their playing philosophy, that of rather forward-leaning football. Thanks to fairly technical players, including Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze, this team seems to have the arguments to pose problems for the Spanish defense. Against Portugal, Georgia proved that they had no problem rushing towards the opponent’s area at the slightest opportunity. We therefore believe that “both teams will score” during this match, a bet rated at 2.48 at Betclic.

Prediction 3: Lamine Yamal decisive

Against Georgia, the young Barça talent will undoubtedly have an important role to play. His speed and impact qualities could indeed be very useful against a team that generally suffers a lot of chances (8.1 excepted goals conceded since the start of the competition). Despite his very young age, only 16 years old, the Barcelona player does not seem to be timid for his first participation in a major international tournament. During the match against Croatia, the latter distinguished himself by delivering a superb assist. The prediction “Lamine Yamal scores a goal or makes an assist” against Georgia is rated at 1.88 at Betclic.

Spain – Georgia: analysis of the match

La Roja is launched

Still moribund a few months ago, Spain has regained color at the start of Euro 2024. At the end of the group phase, La Roja is even one of the most serious contenders for the coronation. Luis de la Fuente has managed to create a team that is solid and sure of its strengths. Without having global stars, this collective relies above all on a solid technical base, as usual in this selection. The main lesson from this group stage concerning La Roja seems to be the following: after having based its football on extreme possession, Spain has entered into a more modern, faster and more direct football. Against Croatia, for example, we noticed that the Spaniards had less of the ball than their opponent. This did not prevent La Roja from completely dominating Vatreni. Explosive profiles like Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams also allow this team to further exploit spaces, particularly in the corridors. Faced with a Georgian team which will not hesitate to play forward, the contribution of the two players mentioned above will be very interesting.

A new feat for Georgia?

For Georgia, this Euro 2024 is already a success. Who could have imagined that the 74th in the FIFA rankings would go beyond the group stage for its very first participation in the competition? Willy Sagnol is clearly working miracles with this team and is also offering audacious football. In terms of individuals, if the Kvara-Mikautadze duo is obviously attracting all the attention, we must not forget the excellent performances of the Georgian goalkeeper: Giorgi Mamardashvili.
