Our prediction for this Euro 2024 match:
Georgia and Cyprus go head to head at Mikheil Meshki Stadium in the opening match of Sunday’s program. The Georgians aim to keep their EURO 2024 qualification hopes alive and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Cypriotes. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Napoli ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. Karlsruher forward Budu Zivzivadze is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in a 2-1 loss to Norway in the September qualifying window.
The visitors, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Norway on Thursday evening and seeing that they have yet to collect a point in Group A, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Tbilisi.
Highlighted Team (Georgia):
Georgia are yet another former Soviet republic who have been competing as an independent country since 1990. The Georgians had their international debut on May 27, 1990, with the team sharing the spoils with Lithuania in Tbilisi.
Georgia have been struggling in the qualifiers for both FIFA World Cup and the European Championship ever since they played their first qualifying game and they have yet to book their place at the finals of the major tournaments. The Georgian national football team recorded their biggest win on March 30, 1997, with the team hammering Armenia in front of home fans, but they were demolished by Denmark (1-6) eight years later and that is considered the team’s biggest loss.
The Likes of Kakha Kaladze and Shota Arveladze are considered Georgia’s most famous players. Kakha Kaladze played for Georgia from 1996 to 2011, scoring one goal in 83 appearances for the national team. The left-footed defender won two Champions League titles with Serie A giants AC Milan (2003, 2007).
