On Friday, September 7, from 19:00 at the “Dynamo Arena Borys Paychadze” stadium in Tbilisi, the match of Group A of the qualifying tournament for the European Championship in Germany will be played between Georgia and Spain, live broadcast by Digi Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.

Spain (three points from two matches) go into the match in Georgia (four points from three matches) as favourites, but cannot currently claim more than second place in Group A. This, while Scotland are leaders, with 12 points from four matches, Norway has four points from four matches and Cyprus does not even have a point after three matches.

Georgia, who have never qualified for a final European tournament, made a brave start to the qualifiers, 1-1 at home to Norway and 2-1 away to Cyprus, before a 0-2 defeat in Scotland effectively eliminated their chances of qualification

Georgia managed promotion to League B of the Nations League in 2022 after five wins and a draw in a group with North Macedonia, Bulgaria and Gibraltar under French coach Willy Sagnol, appointed in 2021.

Spain won 3-0 at home to Norway and lost 0-3 in Scotland before winning the Nations League, 2-1 in the semi-final against Italy and 0-0, 5-4 on penalties in the final against Croatia.

In practice, the Iberians can now only focus on qualifying for Euro 2024, as favorites for the top two places along with surprise leaders Scotland, although coach Luis de la Fuente, appointed after the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to replace Luis Enrique, has begun the process of rejuvenating the national team (Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s new star, made his La Roja debut at 16 years and almost two months).

Spain is a three-time European champion (1964, 2008 and 2012), and in the previous edition, from 2020, it stopped in the semi-finals.

The last meeting between the two came during World Cup qualifiers in Qatar, when Spain won both qualifiers against Georgia, 2-1 away and 4-0 at home.

Probable teams:

Georgia: Mamardashvili – Sazonov, Kashia, Kvirkvelia – ​​Gagnidze, Dvali, Kvekveskiri, Kiteishvili, Lobjanidze – Mikautadze, Kvaratskhelia.

Spain: Unai Simon – Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Balde – Rodri, Zubimendi – Gavi, Asensio, Olmo – Morata.
