Current Form and Context

Georgia, 3rd with 3 points (1-0-3), are in do-or-die mode after a 4-1 thrashing by Turkey and a 2-0 home loss to Spain in October. Their lone win was a 3-0 opener over Bulgaria, but they've scored just 4 goals and conceded 10 (avg. 2.5 conceded per game). Unbeaten at home in qualifiers (W1, D0, L1), Tbilisi's roar fueled their EURO heroics, but two defeats in October crushed momentum. Needing wins over Spain and Bulgaria (plus Turkey slips) for playoffs—long odds, but Kvaratskhelia's flair (2 qualifier goals) sparks hope. 😤

Spain, 1st with 12 points (4-0-0), are flawless: 15 goals scored, 0 conceded in four qualifiers, including a 4-0 rout of Bulgaria last time. Unbeaten in 10 (W8, D2) since EURO glory, they've dominated Europe (Nations League semis). Away form: W2 in qualifiers, but Yamal's absence (injury) tests depth. A win clinches their spot with a game to spare—three points clear of Turkey, +15 GD. Ruthless machines. 🇪🇸

Historical Head-to-Head

Spain own this mismatch: unbeaten in 8 meetings (W8, D0, L0), outscoring Georgia 24-5 (avg. 3.6 goals). The reverse qualifier was a 2-0 Spanish stroll (Morata, Oyarzabal), with Georgia mustering 0.01 xG. At Boris Paichadze, Spain won their last three visits (11-0 aggregate). Over 2.5 goals in 5/6 recent H2Hs, but Georgia's home qualifiers average under 3—expect control, not chaos. La Roja's 60% win rate vs Eastern Europe adds swagger.

Team News and Tactical Insights

Georgia miss no majors, but Georges Mikautadze (suspended) thins attack—Zivzivadze steps up. Sagnol’s 3-5-2 packs midfield for counters (42% possession avg.), with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli star, 2 goals) and Zuriko Davitashvili stretching flanks. Saba Lobzhanidze anchors (85% pass rate), while Giorgi Mamardashvili's saves (3.2 per game) buy time. Home press (9 corners avg.) targets Spain's youth. Predicted XI: Mamardashvili; Kashia, Lochoshvili, Goglichidze; Tsitaishvili, Kochorashvili, Kiteishvili, Mekvabishvili, Gocholeishvili; Kvaratskhelia, Zivzivadze. 🇬🇪

Spain without Lamine Yamal (injury) and possibly Rodri (rested), but depth shines. De la Fuente’s 4-2-3-1 craves possession (62% avg.) and waves of attack: Mikel Oyarzabal (3 goals) leads, flanked by Nico Williams and Bryan Zaragoza. Martín Zubimendi/Fabián Ruiz control midfield, while Unai Simón's clean sheets (4/4 qualifiers) lock the back. 10 corners avg. overwhelms. Predicted XI: Simón; Porro, Laporte, Huijsen, Cucurella; Barrios, Zubimendi; Williams, Merino, Zaragoza; Oyarzabal. 🇪🇸

Prediction and Key Factors

The Crusaders' counters (0.4 xG per game) falter against La Roja's press (12 recoveries avg.), while Yamal's absence barely dents their depth. H2H (Spain W8/8) and qualifiers (Spain 4/4 wins) scream dominance—GD boost for playoffs over Turkey. Tbilisi's roar adds spice, but expect control.

Prediction: Georgia 0-3 Spain. Oyarzabal x2, Merino seals—clinical Spaniards qualify, Georgia eye Bulgaria for pride. 🌟
