Georgia U21 vs Gibraltar U21 prediction 06.09.2023

• Competition: EURO U21 Qualifications
• Date: Wednesday, 6th September 2023
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: Stadion Ramaz Shengelia (Kutaisi)

Georgia U21 had a tremendous European Championship U21 this summer, where they were competitive against strong European teams Portugal, Belgium and Netherlands. Eventually, Georgia U21 lost after penalties against Israel U21 in the quarterfinal. Now, Ramaz Svanadze's team is at the start of the new qualifications, where they will try to squeeze between Sweden and Netherlands and finish at one of the first two positions on the table. 

Gibraltar U21 are one of the worst U21 teams in Europe. In the previous qualifications cycle, Gibraltar U21 finished with only one point from ten matches with a 1:41 goal difference. Gibraltar had already played two rounds of the qualifications for the next tournament and in both matches, Gibraltar U21 lost easily. First, they lost 3-1 against Moldova U21. After that, Gibraltar U21 lost 5-0 at home versus Sweden U21. In this group, Gibraltar U21 can hardly expect too many points, especially on the road. Actually, Gibraltar U21 lost every road game in the last six years, so it is hard to expect something from the game against Georgia on Wednesday evening. 

Georgia U21 vs Gibraltar U21 pick: Over 3.5 goals

This bet is mostly because of Gibraltar U21's poor defense. They allowed eight goals in two qualification matches. I expect them to struggle again, so over 3.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.
