Georgia will take on Ukraine on Saturday, 16 November in what is shaping up to be a huge match in the UEFA Nations League.
All four teams in League B, Group One still have a chance of being promoted to League A but at the same time, they all also have a chance of being relegated.
Promotion isn't the only prize for finishing first in the group, too. A place in the World Cup 2026 playoffs is virtually guaranteed for whoever tops the group after the next round of fixtures.
As part of our latest round of Nations League betting tips, here is our Georgia vs Ukraine prediction.

Georgia vs Ukraine prediction: Georgia to get back on track
Key Stats
- Ukraine have won just one of their last five matches in all competitions.
- Georgia have won six of their last eleven matches in all competitions.
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has scored more goals for his country (17) than any of his teammates.
Correct score prediction: Georgia 2-1 Ukraine
After losing their last two Nations League fixtures, Georgia will be glad they have a home match to try and put things right. Their form on home soil is good – they are very difficult to beat in Georgia – so a Ukraine win is unlikely. Both teams are blessed with good attacking players, so BTTS is likely.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Too close to call
- HOME: 6/4 (2.50) – 40%
- DRAW: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.3%
- AWAY: 9/5 (2.80) – 35.7%

Most recent H2Hs: History favours Ukraine
One fact that will give Ukraine immense belief ahead of their clash on Saturday night is that they have never tasted defeat to Georgia before. Ukraine have won three of the last four meetings between the two nations but it would be remiss not to point out that this a golden generation for Georgia so the past matters very little for this one.

Georgia preview: A Euros comedown?
After their sensational performances at Euro 2024, a drop off in intensity and results was always on the cards for Georgia and they felt that in the last round of international fixtures. They still have a great chance of putting things right and topping the group, though, so expect a fever pitch atmosphere in Batumi on Saturday.
Predicted lineup: Mamardashvili (GK), Gvelesiani, Kashia, Dvali, Kakabadze, Kiteischvili, Kochorashvili Chakvetadze, Lochoshvili, Mikautadze, Kvaratskhelia

Ukraine preview: Still pushing their limits
Ukraine made a poor start to the Nations League and were bottom after two games but four points from their last two matches has put them back in contention for promotion and the coveted number one spot. They continue to show remarkable resilience when you consider what is going on in their homeland and nobody would begrudge them the win here.

Player to watch: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
You don't get the nickname ‘the Georgian Messi' without being a supremely talented footballer and that's exactly what Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is. The Napoli winger has been back to his brilliant best so far this season after a patchy 23/24, and already has five goals and two assists to his name in Serie A. Can he lead his nation to a big win on Saturday?
