Spain vs Georgia EURO 2024 preview

Georgia have the monumental task of stopping Spain in their tracks when the two sides face off on Sunday night in the last 16 of EURO 2024.

Undoubtedly the most in-form team in the competition, Spain have been impressive, maintaining a 100 percent record in the group stage.

La Furia Roja hammered Croatia 3-0 in their opening match before winning 1-0 against Italy and Albania respectively.

The 2012 winners finished top of Group B with nine points, five points above second-placed Italy. Even more impressive is the fact that Luis de la Fuente’s side made it to the knockouts without conceding a single goal.

Meanwhile, debutants Georgia have been the surprise package of the tournament, qualifying for the last 16 after finishing as one of the best third-placed teams.

Beaten 3-1 by Turkey in their opening match, Willy Sagnol’s side drew 1-1 with Czech Republic, before surprisingly beating Portugal 2-0 in their final group match.

The victory saw them finish third on four points, two points behind Turkey and group winners Portugal.

Despite winning against a much-changed Portugal side, the outcome is now the biggest upset in Euros history, as per FIFA ranking.

Victory against Portugal should inspire the newcomers as they face what is clearly an uphill battle against an intimidating Spanish side.

Spain vs Georgia Euro team news

Luis de la Fuente should revert to his strongest eleven, having made ten changes against Albania, as Spain had already qualified as group winners in Matchday 2.

Rodri returns to the starting lineup after serving a one-match ban, while Nacho Fernandez and Ayoze Perez will need to pass late fitness tests, having been recently sidelined with various injuries.

Meanwhile, Willy Sagnol has a full squad ahead of their knockout tie, except for midfielder Anzor Mekvabishvili, who is suspended after picking up a second booking during their historic win over Portugal.

Three-time winners of the European Championship, the Spaniards are among the favourites to lift the trophy, paying +450 outright odds at BetOnline.

Spain have won their last four games with Georgia, even scoring seven goals in one Euro qualifier. A gifted side with extensive depth, expect La Furia Roja to dominate this bout, with online bookmakers paying -138.89 for Spain to win both halves.

Having kept clean sheets against seasoned opponents like Croatia and defending champions Italy, expect Spain not to concede any goals against the debutants, with Neds paying -166.67 for a clean sheet in the encounter.

Skipper Alvaro Morata has a great chance of scoring against Georgia, having netted once in the group stage, and three times in his last two games against Georgia. As such, PlayUp are offering a decent value of -105.26 for Morata in the anytime goalscorer market.

From the look of things, Spain are poised to cruise past Georgia on their way to the quarterfinals, where they will face either Germany or Denmark.
