Head to Head


Spain have a 5-1 advantage against Cyprus.

They met in September, Spain winning 7-1 in Tbilisi with Álvaro Morata hitting a hat-trick.

Spain Form


Spain have won five straight games to surge to European Championship qualification, despite an early 2-0 defeat in Scotland where they had 75% possession.

Luis de la Fuente’s side took some time out to win their first UEFA Nations League title, a 2-1 semi-final victory against Italy followed by a penalty shootout win against Croatia in the final.

La Roja returned to the Euro qualifiers with two big wins and have been efficient since, starting by beating Scotland 2-0 with Alvaro Morata and Oihan Sancet scoring late goals.

Spain have played their previous two on the road, a 1-0 win in Norway and 3-1 victory in Cyprus where they had 77% possession and 14-4 shots.

Georgia Form


Georgia had a solid start to the European Championship qualifiers before three straight defeats derailed their campaign.

Willy Sagnol’s side lost 2-0 in Scotland, 7-1 against Spain and 2-1 in Norway.

The Crusaders got some confidence back after thrashing Thailand 7-0 in a friendly with Georges Mikautadze scoring four goals.

Georgia took that form back to Group A, beating Cyprus 4-0 with Otar Kiteishvili, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Levan Shengelia and Georges Mikautadze all finding the net. Kvaratskhelia gave them the lead twice on Thursday in a 2-2 draw against Scotland.
