Prediction: 2-0
Bulgaria
Georgia will be aiming to recover from a 3-2 loss to Turkey when they face Bulgaria in a highly-anticipated World Cup qualifier. Georgia are determined to record their first win in Group E and they are expected to go all guns blazing at the Bulgarians. A man to watch in the home team will be PSG ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, while boss Willy Sagnol will be watching the game from the stands following his sending-off against Turkey.
Bulgaria, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 3-0 loss to Spain and with Georgia turning Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena into a real fortress, home win should be considered. Experienced winger Kiril Despodov could feature in Sunday’s clash after remaining an unused substitute in the Group E opener. 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).
