PREDICTION GEORGIA VS SPAIN

Spain aim for history as desperate Georgia fight for survival

Georgia’s last chance

Georgia enter this match in big trouble. Two straight defeats — including a painful 1–4 loss to Turkey — have almost ended their World Cup qualification hopes. A miracle is still mathematically possible, but only if they beat Spain.

Their home form gives a little hope: 13 wins from their last 21 home games. Their last match in Tbilisi was a strong 3–0 win over Bulgaria. But this time the challenge is as big as it gets.

Spain closing in on a historic record

Spain arrive in perfect shape. Their 4–0 win over Bulgaria extended their unbeaten run in competitive matches to 29 games, matching the legendary golden era. Avoiding defeat in Georgia would set a new national record.

They have won all four qualifiers, scoring 15 goals and conceding none. A win in Tbilisi could secure Spain a place at their 13th consecutive World Cup.

Head-to-head dominance

Spain have won eight of nine meetings with Georgia, scoring 20 goals in the last five clashes. Georgia have beaten Spain only once.

Key stats

• Georgia conceded the first goal before the 25th minute in 3 of 4 qualifiers.
  
• Spain scored at least two goals in their last five away matches.
  
• Spain have won eight qualifying games in a row without conceding — their longest ever streak.
  

Players to watch

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Georgia): in great form, scoring for PSG at the weekend and netting in his last three home starts for the national team.
Mikel Merino (Spain): six goals in four qualifiers — the top-scoring European midfielder of this campaign.

Team news

Georgia are missing Otar Kakabadze and star striker Georges Mikautadze, while Giorgi Kochorashvili is suspended.
Spain remain without Pedri and Rodri, and 18-year-old Lamine Yamal is also out.

Match Prediction

Spain are simply too strong right now. Their defence is perfect, their attack efficient, and Georgia’s recent form is poor.

Prediction: Georgia 0–3 Spain
Spain set the new unbeaten record and move closer to World Cup qualification.
