World Cup Qualifiers Prediction Spain vs Georgia, 1:45 a.m. October 12: One swallow hardly makes a spring

Prediction before the match Spain vs Georgia

The two teams met in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in Europe. In Group E, Spain won 2 matches against Bulgaria and Türkiye, scoring 9 goals and conceding none. "La Roja" affirmed their absolute strength as the number 1 candidate in the group.

Georgia started their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-3 loss in Turkey. Then, Kvaratskhelia and his teammates beat Bulgaria 3-0. Georgia's performance in Group E was not too bad. They still have a chance to hope to make their first appearance in the World Cup. If they can get a point in Spain's field, Georgia will open up the opportunity to compete for 2nd place and a playoff spot for the 2026 World Cup.

Since EURO 2024, Georgia has emerged as a phenomenon in European football. When mentioning Georgia, Kvaratskhelia will be remembered first. Kvaratskhelia's excellence, combined with a Georgian collective that is united and steadfast in its playing style, makes this collective difficult for any opponent.

Georgia equalized 2-3 against Türkiye in the 90+8 minute, after being down 3 goals after 52 minutes. Coach Willy Sagnol and his team need such a brave match to hope to cause a surprise in Spain. Predictions from computers and experts show that Georgia has less than 10% chance of winning against Spain. However, getting a point against the home team is not an impossible goal for Georgia.

Form, head-to-head record Spain vs Georgia

Spain won 4, drew 1 in the last 5 matches. Georgia's record is also very impressive with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the series of 5 matches. Before the match, coach Luis de la Fuente emphasized that he wanted the whole team to focus on winning the match against Georgia to easily think about the remaining journey in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Historically, Spain has met Georgia 8 times. "La Roja" holds an overwhelming record with 7 wins. At EURO 2024, Spain destroyed Georgia 4-1 in the round of 16.

Spain vs Georgia squad information

The home team will be without a number of stars for this match. Huijsen is the latest player to leave the team due to injury. Previously, Carvajal, Rodri, Lopez, Gavi, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal were absent due to injury. With more than half of the squad having substitute positions, Spain's strength is still superior to Georgia's. However, the connection between the Spanish players who rarely start together will be a concern.

Kvaratskhelia has only just returned from injury. With his huge influence in Georgia, the PSG star will find it difficult to miss against Spain. Kvaratskhelia's performance will be crucial to Georgia's ambitions of gaining points away from home.
