- Competition: EURO Qualifiers, Playoffs Final
- Date: Tuesday, 26th March 2024
- Kickoff: 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET
- Venue: Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena (Tbilisi)
Georgia are looking for their first appearance in any major tournament. They haven’t been impressive throughout the EURO Qualifiers, finishing 4th in a very challenging group with Spain, Scotland, Norway, and Cyprus. Luckily for Crusaders, they won UEFA Nations League C and got the opportunity to play in the EURO Playoffs and secure their historic appearance that way. In the Semi-Finals, they relatively easily dealt with Luxembourg and will now have a much more challenging task against Greece.
The EURO Champions from 2004, Greece, haven’t qualified for EURO and the World Cup on the previous two occasions. The last time they appeared in any major tournament was a decade ago. In the EURO Qualifiers, Greece did well, finishing 3rd, behind very good teams, Netherlands and France. Still, by winning UEFA Nations League C against Kosovo, Northern Ireland, and Cyprus, they got the opportunity to qualify throughout the playoffs. In the Semi-Finals, they impressed with a big win at home against Kazakhstan (5:0). Still, the final game against Georgia at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi will undoubtedly be much more challenging.
Georgia vs Greece pick: Both teams to score
Georgia are playing excellent football at home. In the last 12 games in all competitions at their pitch, Georgia lost just against Spain but scored in that game as well. During that 12-game period, they scored in 11 of 12 matches, and they faced some really good teams like Spain, Norway, Scotland, and Sweden. So, a goal at home vs Greece is a pretty real scenario.
Greece are in excellent form, and even though they often had problems with offense in the past, that has not been the case in recent matches. They won four of the last six matches while scoring 16 goals – 2.7 per game. Even though their defense was good, we do not trust them away from home, considering they kept a clean sheet just twice in seven road matches.
Both teams are in good form, and we expect a close match. Based on the performances in recent matches, we believe both teams should score.

Georgia team news
The best player on the team, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, served his one-game suspension against Luxembourg and will be available for the Greece game. Napoli’s forward is by far the best team on the team, and his presence will surely be a massive boost for Crusaders.
Georgia’s total market value is around 150 million euros. At the same time, Greece is only slightly better in that category, with a total market value of 152 million euros.

Greece team news
After winning 5:0 vs Kazakhstan, we believe that coach Gustavo Poyet will use the same 4-3-3 attacking formation against Georgia with little to no changes in the starting lineup.
The contract of coach Gustavo Poyet expires on 31st March 2024, and the outcome of the Georgia game will probably be a deciding factor as to whether the federation will offer him a new one. In one of his interviews, the coach said that he wants to stay in Greece and also noted they will give their best to return to EURO on the 20th anniversary of winning the EURO title in Portugal.
