Georgia and Scotland meet in a match where the only bet is for the visitors to finish top of the group at the expense of Spain in order to get a favorable turn in the Euro 2024 group draw.

In Group A, apart from Georgia (seven points, six matches) and Scotland (15 points, six matches), Spain (15 points, six matches), Norway (10 points, seven matches) and Cyprus (no points, seven matches), the first two countries – Spain and Scotland – mathematically qualify for Euro-2024.

Georgia are in 4th place with seven points collected after two wins against Cyprus and a draw at home to Norway, but the excellent performance of the team coached by Frenchman Willy Sagnol remains for entry into League B of the Nations League, a competition in which they have collected 16 points in a group with Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Gibraltar.

However, the Georgian national team has a talented generation that can spring surprises, such famous footballers as Khvicha Kvarachkelia (Napoli), Giorgi Mamardashvili (Valencia), Georges Mikoutadze (Ajax) and Zuriko Davitashvili (Bordeaux) are already on the list. big clubs of Europe.

Scotland, who are second on 15 points, the same as Spain (the Iberians have the head-to-head advantage), will be making their fourth appearance at the European finals after appearances in 1992, 1996 and 2020, crucial to qualification and a successful start to the campaign ( victories at home with Spain and away with Norway) and the uncertain course of the Scandinavian national team led by Erling Haaland (in particular, a draw in Georgia).

Steve Clarke’s side, under contract until 2026, have won two (2-1 with Norway and 3-0 with Cyprus) and lost one (0-2 with Spain) in three away games so far and can win the group if in the last two games, with Georgia away and Norway at home, they will have more points than Spain, who also played Cyprus away and Georgia at home.

In a tour match on 20 June 2023, Scotland beat Georgia 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Callum McGregor (6) and Scott McTominay (47).
