Cyprus and Georgia will seek to rise in Group A of the Euro 2024 qualifiers when they clash in Larnaca. Hosts Cyprus find themselves bottom of this group going into the game, while Georgia are third. After a match each, both nations are still chasing the first win, Cyprus having lost 3-0 to Scotland. Cyprus warmed up for this game with a 2-2 draw with Armenia in a friendly they finished with 10 men. That result marked the fifth straight game in which they conceded more than a goal. Meanwhile, they have just one win in their last five. Cyprus have suffered three defeats in five games and four of the five have had over 2.5 goals. Both sides have scored in three of Cyprus’ last five matches. They will need to put in extra, having failed to win in four straight home games in Euro qualification. Cyprus have suffered three losses in their last four home matches in Euro qualifiers. It will not go down well for Cyprus, who also come into this game without their main attacker, Pieros Sotiriou. The Sanfrecce Hiroshima forward has a thigh injury. Manager Temur Ketsbaia’s left-back, Ioannou Nicholas is also set to miss, on suspension.

Georgia are in a much better position and form, coming into this game. They drew 1-1 with Norway in their opening game of the group. Coming into this one, they have avoided defeat in the last two matches, one a 6-1 win over Mongolia. That win was their 10th in 14 matches and will definitely be the favorites here. The visitors have scored more than a goal in three of their last five matches. Three of their last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals, largely because they have no clean sheet in the four games. Georgia have only failed to score in one game, a friendly match against Morocco which ended 3-0. That defeat was in their last away game – they had posted three straight away wins before it. The star man for Georgia will once again be Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. However, French legend Willy Sagnol has dropped nine of the players he called up in March.
