Our prediction for this Euro 2024 match:
Georgia will be aiming to move one step closer to the EURO 2024 finals when they take on Luxembourg at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena on Thursday afternoon. The Georgians will surely rely on Napoli ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line, while Watford midfielder Giorgi Chakvetadze will be yet another man to watch in the home team.
Luxembourg, on the other hand, did well to beat the likes of Bosnia and Liechtenstein in the previous two competitive matches, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Georgia, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. St Pauli forward Danel Sinani is banned for the match, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side this time out. When the two teams met in a friendly six years ago Luxembourg defeated Georgia 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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).
