Georgia vs Ukraine Prediction & Betting Tips (16 November)

A real sensation of the last Euro, Georgia made its mark by managing to qualify for the 1/8 finals of the competition, notably beating Portugal 2-0 before falling quite heavily against Spain 4-1, future winner of the tournament. Back to business as usual, Willy Sagnol's men started this Nations League strong by winning against the Czech Republic 4-1 then against Albania 0-1 in September. On the other hand, the October rally was more complicated for the Crusaders who were dominated by Ukraine 1-0 then by Albania 0-1, thus seeing themselves relegated to 2nd place in the ranking behind Czechia .Ukraine, for its part, took the door in the first round at the Euro, finishing last in a particularly tight group where all the teams finished on 4 points at the end of the group stage.

. Not much better in the months that followed, Zbirna experienced quite a few difficulties in September with 2 losses against Albania 1-2 and the Czech Republic 3-2. On the other hand, they recovered well last month by taking over Georgia 1-0 and holding off the Czech Republic 1-1.

Georgia is still led by its two stars, the excellent Kvaratskhelia (Naples, 38 sels, 17 goals) and the striker Mikautadze (Lyon, 33 sels, 14 goals) who are the two permanent dangers of this team.

Offensively, Stéphanois Davitashvili (43 sels, 6 goals) and Zivzivadze (Karlsruher, 32 sels, 8 goals).

Ukraine, for its part, must do without its goalkeeper Lunin (Real Madrid, 13 sels), its midfield executives Malinovskyi (Genoa, 66 sels, 7 goals), Stepanenko (Shakhtar, 87 sels) and Sydorchuk (Westerloo, 62 sels, 3 goals), the precious Tsygankov (57 sels, 13 goals, Girona) and without his top scorer Yarmolenko (Dynamo kyiv, 124 sels, 46 goals).
