Saburtalo vs Samgurali prediction 23.11.2023

• Date: Thursday, 23rd November 2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UTC / 16:00 CET
• Venue: Mikheil Meskhi Stadium (Tbilisi)

Saburtalo and Samgurali have a similar 2023 season. Both teams are mid-table teams with 50 points from 33 played matches. Saburtalo and Samgurali are five points behind the third-placed Torpedo Kutaisi, so they still hope to end in the positions that will give them a Conference League spot in 2024. The winner of the match on Thursday could continue to dream, while the loser will think much more about the end of the season. 

Saburtalo hasn't played well lately, as they won only one of the last four matches. Interestingly, the only win came against Samgurali in the cup semifinal. In the previous game, Saburtalo lost 2-1 on the road versus Gagra. Guests were close to all three points there, as they had led until the 87th minute. Still, the home side scored two goals late in the game and took all three points. 

Samgurali haven't impressed lately, either. They were on the run of three games without a win until the previous league round, when Samgurali won 3-2 at home against Dinamo Batumi. Guests were a big favorite, as they will probably win a national title in a few weeks, but Samgurali were brilliant, especially in the second half and secured a big win. 

Saburtalo and Samgurali pick: Over 2.5 goals

Saburtalo and Samgurali had four h2h matches this season. Three of those four games went over 2.5 goals. In the previous game, about two weeks ago in the cup semifinal, both teams had a lot of good chances to score. Over 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.
