Georgia vs. Portugal Prediction on June 26, 2024

Match info

Despite losing its first match against Turkey, Georgia has managed to stay in contention for advancing to the next round of the men’s 2024 UEFA European Football Championship in Germany by averting defeat versus the Czech Republic on Saturday. That’s why they’ll have to show their best of the best against Portugal, one of the handful of teams that secured an advancement to the knockout stage early, in the third round on Wednesday, June 26 at 9 p.m. local time at the Veltins Arena in Gelsenkirchen. Yet, Georgian betting sites don’t have much faith in them.

Meeting statistics

There would be no debate at all if this were, for example, the first match in Group F and not the third, as is currently the case. Precisely because it is the third match, maybe the Georgians have some chance to surprise their opponent.

Current Form of Georgia

Georgia's second match in Group F for Euro 2024 ended in a 1-1 draw with the Czechs on Saturday. Georgia is at the bottom of its group after two matches, level on points with the Czech Republic.

Despite losing its first match against Turkey, Georgia managed to stay in the race for the next round by avoiding defeat against the Czechs. Portugal is their next opponent in the third round of the group stage.

Georgia will finish the group stage with four points if they beat Portugal. Given that Portugal defeated Turkey, Georgia will advance, but only if Turkey is defeated by the Czech Republic and Georgia beats Portugal by a sufficient margin to be better than the Czechs in the standings.

Current Form of Portugal

Portugal finished first in the group, with six points. It can be said that they justified their role as group favorites and easily reached the next round. It remains to be seen whether they will aim for all nine points in the group or rest players for the next stage of the competition.

All in all, this match will serve as a warm-up before the continuation of the championship. Portugal has secured first place in the group.

Head-to-Head

Georgia and Portugal have met only once on the international stage. The latter won 2-0 in a friendly match in 2008.

Match analytics

No matter that Portugal will certainly go out on the pitch with a combined lineup, as its head coach Roberto Martínez will rest a few mainstays for the knockouts, it’s the favorite against Euro debutants. But precisely because Portugal won’t play with its best players, we don’t expect too many goals in this match.

Total goals under 2.5 with odds of 2.33 on Wallacebet seems like a wager that will be the winner.
