Spain have scored an incredible 15 goals in the group stage, and kept all four clean sheets in the process sitting on 12 points, whilst Georgia's only win came against Bulgaria as they sit in third on three points, and it's highly unlikely that Kvaratskhelia and his country will qualify for this edition of the World Cup.

Lamine Yamal is back in the side amidst the controversy between him and Real Madrid fans, as the spain boss stated that he 'needs his best players', stating that Yamal still has a huge role to play in this Spain side after recovering partially from his ongoing groin issues.

Georgia vs Spain Recent Form Analysis

The home side come into this affair as heavy underdogs, having conceded nine goals in four games, and losing three of their opening four matches in the qualifying group stage. Half of their group stage goals came against Bulgaria in a 3-0 triumph, but replicating that against this Spain side would be more than a tough ask. With their star striker Mikautadze picking up a muscle injury in his last game against Pafos, it could ring even more alarm bells for Georgia in regards of finding the net. Georgia's last and only win against Spain came in a friendly in 2016, which saw them hang on to win by one goal to nil.

Spain on the other hand shouldn't have to break too much of a sweat to gain a victory against Georgia, although they have the home advantage which could prove to be difficult in the matchup. Spain haven't lost a single game since 2023 and anticipate another routine victory this time around, with Yamal's presence bolstering the squad, who's stopping Spain from going rampant on Saturday?

In their last meeting, Spain eased to victory in what should've been a thrashing, but it only ended 2-0 much to the surprise of Georgia, as they accumilated a whopping 3.83 xg from 24 shots, compared to Georgia's <0.01 xg from one shot on target.

Spain are rampant, and are tough to beat, but Cristiano Ronaldo can do it. The chances of Georgia scoring are slim, nevermind getting a result, and we really don't see Spain dropping any points, even if De La Fuente rotates his side.

Georgia vs Spain Betting Tips

Football Park's Best Bet: Spain to win and over 2.5 away team goals @ 1.83 odds. Our team of in-house experts has priced Spain to defeat Georgia with over 2.5 away team goals in the game, as Spain average 3.75 goals per game in the group stage, and as they generated nearly 4.0 xg in their last game against Georgia without a player like Yamal, the chances are boosted greatly of a high scoring game if he features which he should.

Key Players to Watch

Lamine Yamal: The starboy. A generational talent produced by La Masia is awaiting his national team return, embroidered with Spanish football royalty, cementing his legacy in the history books with his contributions in the last major tournament as Spain lifted the Euro 2024 trophy. He's contributed to eight goals in eight matches in La Liga this season, and his all-round play is quite simply magical. Many believe he is the next Lionel Messi, but even he know he's got a long way to even come close to Messi's dominance in football.

Mikel Merino: Quite a surprise package in a Spain team full of quality, as he's scored six goals in the four qualifying games which is sensational from midfield, with his attacking play standing out throughout matches, with Arsenal often playing him as a centre forward, a role in which he adopted whilst playing in England. Merino doesn't offer just goals, but his playmaking ability as well, creating five chances against Bulgaria in their last game and two big chances, whilst winning a penalty alongside plenty of ground duels.

Khvicha Kvaratskheila: Although Georgia have little to no chance in this game, PSG'S star winger Kvaratskhelia, or as many fans call him Kvaradona for his technical brilliance on the pitch, offers a glimmer of hope for Georgia supporters, as the threat he offers going forward rivals all of spain's attackers in terms of ability. He boasts an average rating of 7.26 on FotMob, scoring two goals in their four games, whilst averaging three shots per 90, with most of them being right on the corner of the box, a position he can be most dangerous in. He completed five dribbles against Turkey in their last fixture and attempted four shots, with one on target. Spain shouldn't be too relaxed if he's on the pitch, an upset could occur, and Kvaradona could be at the heart of it all.
