Georgia vs Greece Preview
Georgia Preview
After an outstanding performance in the Nations League, Georgia confidently beat Luxembourg (2-0), showing an impressive build-up even before the red card of Maxime Chanot and without the team’s main star, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is expected to come back to starting line up in the match against Greece. Willy Sagnol was pleased with the team’s performance and Georgia is expecting to keep this momentum for the final match.

Betting Tips for Georgia vs Greece
To Qualify - Greece
While Georgia’s dream of reaching Euro finals for the first time can be an inspirational story, the reality is that Greece under Poyet built a versatile team with almost impeccable defensive lines. In addition to being unbeaten against Greece in head to head matches, Georgians can possibly rely only on the potential magic of Kvaratskhelia, who is shining not that bright as it was last season. For this Georgia vs Greece prediction, Unibet gives 1.55.
Total Goals Under 2.5
Greece is quite pedantic when it comes to such important matches. Once triumphant of Euro 2004, the team knows how to control such matches, especially when the opponent plays an asymmetrical game with an obvious emphasis on a certain zone or a player. Poyet knows that there is no need to rush and patiently waiting for the chances, that will certainly come, will be a key motto behind the Greek game in this match. Georgia vs. Greece odds for this outcome, as defined by Unibet, are 1.56.
Total Corners Under 9.5
Georgia is among the lowest corner taking countries on the continent, with only 2 average corners per match during the qualifying round.

Unibet gives 1.59 for this Georgia vs. Greece tip.
