To build a prediction for the Georgia - Spain match, scheduled for 8 September 2023, several key factors could influence the outcome. These sides last met on 4 September 2021 at Spain's ground, where the home side came out on top.
Spain have been playing unsuccessfully in their group so far, and Spain lost one match and won one. I think they should confidently beat the hosts, Georgia, in this match, and I believe there will be more than 2.5 goals in the match.
In head-to-head meetings with Spain, Georgia scored exactly one goal in three of five matches, while Spain conceded at least one goal in its last five matches. The Georgia national team is probably the strongest it has been in recent years.
Spain cannot afford not to win today, otherwise options may arise for failing to qualify directly for the European Championship. But Georgia currently has arguably the strongest squad in its history, so almost anyone in the home team may score.
