Ukraine vs Georgia Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

This match might end the winning streak of the Blue-Yellow against the Crusaders.

The UEFA Nations League season 2024-25 is underway and teams have played their initial matches. This is one of the biggest tournaments organised by UEFA, as 58 teams divided into groups face each other. Two such teams, Ukraine and Georgia will be facing each other this week. Both these teams belong to League B Group 1 and this will be their third match of the tournament. 

Both are currently on opposite ends of the group table. Ukraine conceded defeat in both of their last two matches against Czechia and Albania. On the other hand, Georgia won their last two matches, in which they played against the same opponents, Czechia and Albania. However, all four teams in the group will face each other twice, so there is always a possibility of something unexpected happening in football. 

Kick-Off: 

Saturday, 12th Oct at 12:15 AM (IST)

Location: Poznań Stadium, Poland

Form: 

Ukraine (Last five matches): L-L-D-W-L

Georgia (Last five matches): W-W-L-W-D

Players to Watch

Vladyslav Vanat (Ukraine)

Vladyslav Vanat, a 22-year-old, has recently joined the Ukrainian senior national team. He was part of the team in the 2024 UEFA Euro Cup, where he appeared in a single match. Vanat plays as a striker and he has a good reputation in the Ukrainian Premier League.

In the last match against Czechia, he scored an important goal. He adds more speed and finishing skills in the attack.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Georgia)

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a 23-year-old has now become one of the most important players for Georgia in recent times. Kvaratskhelia plays for Napoli in Serie A, where he has already scored several goals. He has continued the same form for Georgia in the Nations League as well. He’s the one Ukrainian defenders should keep an eye on.

Match Prediction for: Ukraine vs Georgia

It will be the home match for Ukraine, but that too will be played in Poland. Therefore, this factor won’t create much of a difference. They have won all their previous matches against Georgia. However, this Georgian team is quite different. Also, the hosts are missing their important players. 

Prediction: Ukraine 1-2 Georgia
