Ukraine vs Georgia Prediction

It’s the international break ladies and gentleman, but that doesn’t mean we’re giving up on our expert tips, instead we’ve done our research on the upcoming international fixtures.

We’re taking a look at Friday’s fixture, where Serhiy Rebrov’s Ukraine take on Willy David Frederic Sagnol’s Georgia team.

Key Stats

• Georgia have won their last two games
• Ukraine have lost their last three matches
• Georgia have been first to score in five of their last seven

Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

Georgia currently top group B in the Nations League standings, whilst Ukraine are wallowing at the foot of the table.

Whilst they’ve only played two matches and a result here could turn things around, it’s clear Georgia are a better side than they have been historically.

Ukraine Preview

Ukraine Predicted Line-up - Anatolli Trubin; Oleksandr Tymchyk, Illia Zabarnyi, Mykola Matviyenko, Vitalli Mykolenko; Taras Stepanenko, Andriy Yarmalenko, Myloka Shaparenko, Oleksandr Zinchenko; Mykhailo Mudryk, Vladyslav Vanat

Despite the quality Ukraine possess, with a number of their players actively playing in top European divisions, their current form has been disappointing.

They’ve looked disjointed in recent times, and need a serious turn around in order to advance from their Nations League groups.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, playing in midfield, will be key for them.

Georgia Preview

Georgia Predicted Line-up - Giorgi Mamardashvili; Gvelesiani, Guram Kashia, Lasha Dvali, Otar Kakabadze; Giorgi Kochorashvili, Giorgi Chakvetadze, Otar Kiteishvili; Luka Lochoshvili, Georges Mikautadze, Kvicha Kvaratshkelia

Georgia look a new side in recent years, and have been much more competitive in Europe, probably due to the quality of players breaking through to their side.

Mikautadze had a fantastic campaign in Euro 2024, and picked up interest of top teams around Europe.

Kvaratshkelia will be key, along with Mamardashvili in goal.
