Hungary have made a frustrating start to life in League B after dropping points in both of their opening fixtures following relegation from the top tier of the Nations League.
Marco Rossi's side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Ukraine in Budapest before being held to a goalless draw by Northern Ireland, leaving the Magyars with just one point from their first two games.
Turning possession and home advantage into goals has been a problem for Hungary in recent competitive matches, with Rossi's side winning only one of their previous eight such fixtures in the capital.
History at home against Georgia does offer some encouragement, though, as Hungary won both of the previous meetings between the nations played on their own soil.
Georgia also endured a difficult start after a 1-0 defeat to Northern Ireland in their opening Nations League fixture prompted the departure of Willy Sagnol following his spell in charge.
Ramaz Svanadze's first match at the helm brought a goalless draw with Ukraine, at least ending a run of five successive competitive defeats for the Crusaders.
The lack of an early attacking threat has been particularly noticeable in this competition, with Georgia failing to score before half-time in each of their last seven Nations League group matches.
Georgia have also failed to win any of their last six Nations League group games (D2, L4) and will look to Paris Saint-Germain winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to provide a sp

Whispers predicts: Hungary 1-0 Georgia
Hungary are priced around 21/20 (21/20) to win, but the hosts' recent struggles in front of goal make the straight victory less appealing than a more cautious option.
As such, home draw no bet at 1.46 (23/50) provides some protection against another stalemate while still taking advantage of the home side's stronger position in this fixture.
The goals market also stands out, with Under 2.5 available around 1.70 (7/10) after neither side scored in their opening two Nations League matches.
Both teams to score – No at 1.83 (5/6) is another option worth considering, particularly with Georgia yet to find the net in this campaign and struggling to score early in Nations League matches.
A 1-0 Hungary victory at 7.00 (6/1) therefore looks a reasonable correct-score selection, with the hosts potentially doing enough to edge a low-scoring contest without either side producing much going forward.
> Hungary draw no bet at 1.46 (23/50) | Likelihood: Probable

> Both teams to score – No at 1.83 (5/6) | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score – Hungary 1-0 Georgia at 7.00 (6/1) | Likelihood: Outsider
