Georgia
After reaching the Euro 2024 Finals, Georgia fans may have been hoping it could be the spark of a golden period in international football. The reached the Last 16 in Germany, but it has been a really tough challenge for them within this World Cup Group and elimination from the Finals could be confirmed on Saturday evening.
In reality that fate is out of Georgia's hands even if they can upset the odds and beat Spain in Tbilisi. With just 3 points on the board, Georgia find themselves 6 points behind Turkey in 2nd place and knowing that their direct rivals for the Play Off spots are hosting a winless Bulgaria on the same day. Losing both games to Turkey will have been a big disappointment and the focus may already begin to turn to the Nations League draw in February and the next continental Championships.
Georgia have beaten Bulgaria at home in this Group, but they have lost the other 3 Qualifiers in matches where they have conceded at least three goals each time. The side have only lost 1 of the last 6 games played at home in all competitions ahead of this last home World Cup Qualifier in this campaign.
Spain
There was a time when it was tough for any nation to win a World Cup outside of their own continent, but that has changed in more recent years. Two European nations have won World Cup Finals played outside of Europe and Spain will be aiming to match their achievement in 2010 in South Africa as soon as they confirm the place in the tournament to be held in North America next summer.
One more win should do it for Spain who have won all of the World Cup Qualifying matches in this Group and with their vastly superior goal difference compared to Turkey effectively giving them a 4 point lead. They are hosting Turkey in the final Qualifier, but Spain will be looking to remain perfect in this section ahead of that match.
Spain were a Penalty Shoot Out away from winning consecutive Nations League titles and that is the sole match in the last 6 that they have failed to win. Since losing at Scotland in the Euro 2024 Qualifying Group, Spain have won 7 of the last 10 away games in all competitions.
Head to Head
Spain have won 8 of the 9 matches played against Georgia, although the one exception was a 0-1 defeat in an international friendly back in June 2016.
These nations have faced one another 6 times since March 2021 and Spain have won all of those matches in competitive fixtures.
Georgia have hosted twice in that time and they have been beaten 1-2 and 1-7 by the Spanish.
Prediction
It will take a couple of upsets for Spain to fail to Qualify for the World Cup without the need to go through the Play Offs and they look the leading contender from the UEFA Confederation to win the World Cup next summer.
Over the last two and a half years, Spain have reached the Nations League Final twice- winning once- and they have also won Euro 2024.
Spain have looked very comfortable in this World Cup Qualifying Group, despite the fact they had two opponents who had also played at the last major international tournament.
Wins have largely been in dominant fashion and Spain will put Georgia under pressure after what has been an underwhelming campaign for a team that made the Last 16 at the Euro 2024 Finals.
It was a run ended in a big defeat to Spain and Georgia have conceded far too many goals in this Group against this opponent and Turkey.
Georgia have been more competitive at home in recent months, but they were 0-3 behind against Turkey after 52 minutes in the opening World Cup Qualifier. They showed some character in fighting back in a 2-3 loss, but Georgia may struggle to contain Spain this Saturday as elimination from the World Cup Finals is confirmed.
