Spain vs Georgia prediction, odds & betting tips – 30/06/2024

Familiar foes and Georgia renew acquaintances at the Cologne Stadium to contest a fixture in the Last 16 of Euro 2024 on Sunday, 30 June. Can Georgia’s history makers match the formidable La Roja? Check out our top Euro 2024 betting tips for the showdown below.

Spain vs Georgia prediction: Georgian adventure to end

Key Stats

• Spain and Georgia shared the same Euro 2024 qualification group and La Roja won both encounters comfortably.
• Spain plundered ten goals across their two tussles with Georgia last year.
• Georgia have scored in 100% of their Euro 2024 matches so far and they netted in both meetings with Spain last year
• Alvaro Morata scored a superb hattrick against Georgia when Spain beat them 7-1 in September 2023.

Correct score prediction: Spain 3-1 Georgia

Spain’s double demolition job on Georgia in the Euro 2024 qualifiers was recent enough to have a telling impact in Sunday’s knockout bout between the teams. Spain earned a 3-1 victory over Georgia when the sides last clashed in November and a repeat of that scoreline looks possible here.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Georgia massive underdogs

• HOME: 1/5 (1.20) – 83.3%
• DRAW: 6/1 (7.00) – 14.3%
• AWAY: 12/1 (13.00) – 7.70%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Spain won a perfect three games out of three in Group B without conceding a single goal and La Roja should be able to take command against Georgia on Sunday in a tussle that’s likely to be heavy on technique and low on brawn. Spain are as short as 1/5 to win andhaving hit ten goals in two meetings with Georgia last year, those sharp prices won’t come as too much of a shock.

Georgia, who are a whopping 12/1 to cause a shock on Sunday, were excellent value for their win over a much-changed Portugal side on Wednesday evening, and while they might be good for a consolation effort this weekend, a second miraculous result on the spin will probably be beyond them.

Last five H2Hs: Spain and Georgia are familiar foes

Spain and Georgia played each other twice last year when they shared the same Euro 2024 qualification group and La Roja rampaged to victory in each rendezvous. The nations also shared a World Cup qualification group in 2021 and again, Spain won two meetings out of two.

Georgia preview: Georgia could be unchanged

Anzor Mekvabishvili came off the bench against Portugal and subsequently picked up a second yellow card of the tournament, ruling him out of Sunday's game through suspension. Georgia could field the same XI that beat Portugal.

Predicted lineup: Mamardashvili – Kakabadze, Gvelesiani, Kashia, Dvali, Lochoshivili, Chakvetadze, Kiteishvili, Kochorashvili, Mikautadze, Kvaratskhelia

Key duels

Dani Carvajal vs Kvicha Kvaratskhelia

Wily operator Dani Carvajal has been averaging a relatively modest 1.50 tackles and 1.0 interceptions per game for Spain, though the 32-year-old could be in for a more thorough test against Georgian winger wizard Kvaratskhelia, who has completed 2.70 dribbles per appearances.

Alvaro Morata vs Guram Kashia

Alvaro Morata scored his first and only international hat-trick against Georgia in September 2023 and Gruam Kashia played at the heart of the backline that was dismantled on that occasion. The 36-year-old could be up against it again on Sunday.

Nico Williams vs Otar Kakabadze

Georgian wingback Otar Kakabadze might have to abandon any thoughts of rampaging forward on Sunday, with Spain’s Nico Williams likely to keep him overworked defensively. Williams has been in electric form at the Euros, averaging 3.00 dribbles and 2.50 key passes per game.

Player to watch – Giorgi Mamardashvili

Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has been one of the players of the tournament so far and his acrobatics and cat-like reflexes carried the Crusaders through their qualification group and into the knockout rounds at Euro 2024.

Mamardashvili likely to be busy again

Giorgi Mamardashvili made a colossal 11 saves against Croatia on matchday two and a further five saves to frustrate Portugal on matchday three, and the talented 23-year-old is almost certain to be called into action on numerous occasions when he faces Spain on Sunday.

Winner’s next potential opponents

Spain are huge favourites against Georgia, but whichever team wins this match will meet with the hosts Germany in the quarter-finals, which is a tough matchup for any team.

Spain have met with Germany many times before and the current H2H record between these two nations stands at 9-9-8 for Germany. Meanwhile, Georgia have met five times with Germany before and lost all five of their matches.

If Spain or Georgia can get past Germany, they will meet with France, Portugal, Belgium, or Slovenia in the semi-final and if they can get to the final, England or Netherlands are the two main favourites that could be waiting for them.
