Georgia preview: Can they recover from their loss to Ukraine?
After beating Czech Republic and Albania in their first two games in the Nations League, Georgia fall to Ukraine a few days ago. It was a close game and Georgia even scored an equalising goal a few minutes before the end, but it was ultimately ruled out for offside. In any case, Georgia are at the top of their group right now and a win over Albania would solidify their position.
Predicted lineup: Mamardashvili (GK), Gvelesiani, Kashia, Dvali, Kakabadze, Kochorashvili, Kiteischvili, Chakvetadze, Lochoshvili, Mikautadze & Kvaratskhelia

Albania preview: Looking for their second win of the competition
While Albania have started this Nations League edition with an impressive win over Ukraine away from home, they followed this up with a couple of losses to Georgia and Czech Republic, putting them closer to relegation than promotion. Of course, with three games left to be played, there's still plenty of chances to turn things around, but a good result against Georgia seems paramount for this to happen.

Player to watch: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
With 17 goals in 37 appearances, Kvaratskhelia is already in the second place as Georgia's top scorer ever, only behind Shota Arveladze with 26 goals, so Napoli's winger is well on his way to become the best scorer ever for his national team given that he's only 23 years old now.
