It is evident that Georgia’s strength has shown
improvement in recent years, particularly with the emergence of talented young
star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. His presence has contributed significantly to
Georgia’s overall progress. In the last round of the group stage, Georgia
achieved a convincing 4-0 victory over Cyprus at home. This win, along with
their previous successes, demonstrates their strong offensive capabilities.
Currently, Georgia sit in fourth place in the group with seven points,
comprising two wins, one draw, and three losses. While their chances of
qualifying may be slim, their performance in this European Championship
qualifier has been notably commendable.
Scotland have performed impressively in this
European Championship qualifier, boasting a strong record of five wins and one
loss. They are currently tied with Spain on 15 points in the group standings,
although they sit in second place due to goal difference disadvantage. Despite
this, Scotland have already secured their place in the next stage in advance,
and their focus now lies on competing with Spain for the top spot. A
significant number of players in Scotland play in England’s top league,
including notable stars such as Andrew Robertson, Scott McTominay, John McGinn,
Billy Gilmour, and others. Their presence in the Premier League highlights
Scotland’s overall strength, which is evident in their performances during the
qualifier matches.
It is true that Scotland have demonstrated a
stronger overall strength compared to Georgia in recent times. In the first leg
of their match, Scotland secured a 2-0 victory over Georgia at home which may
have provided Scotland with a psychological advantage heading into this
upcoming encounter. Given Scotland’s stronger overall strength and previous success
against Georgia, it is reasonable to expect that Scotland have a good chance of
defeating Georgia once again and earning all three points in the match.
