Georgia vs Portugal Prediction & Picks - Euro
by Simon Day | in Euro Picks
Group F concludes on Wednesday, with all four teams in the running for a place in the least 16. Portugal have already been confirmed as group winners following their comprehensive 3-0 victory over Turkey on Gameday Two. Based on their displays so far and the depth of their squad, they stand an excellent chance of making a deep run at the tournament.
On the other hand, Georgia realistically needs a win to make it to the knockout stages. That is an extremely stiff task considering the gulf in class between the two teams. However, Georgia have exceeded all expectations with their performances in their first two games, so they will fancy their chances of pulling off an unlikely victory.

Georgia - Portugal: Form Analysis
The victory over Turkey means that Portugal have now won 12 competitive games in a row. Their last defeat in a meaningful game was the 1-0 loss to Morocco in the 2022 World Cup quarter final. Even more impressively, they have scored 41 goals in those 12 games, with Cristiano Ronaldo (10 goals) and Bruno Fernandes (7 goals) leading the way. At the last European Championship, Portugal fell to a disappointing 1-0 loss to Belgium in the last 16. However, five years earlier at Euro 2016, they went all the way to the final, before defeating France 1-0 and lifting the trophy for the only time in their history.
In contrast, this is Georgia's first ever appearance in a major tournament. Despite finishing only fourth in their qualifying group, they made it to the play offs thanks to their excellent record in the 2022 Nations League. After defeating Luxembourg 2-0 in their play off semi final, they then claimed a dramatic penalty shoot out victory over Greece in the final. That victory over Luxembourg was one of just two wins Georgia have claimed in their last seven games.

Georgia & Portugal Squad Analysis
Group F winners Portugal are expected to remain a number of key players in preparation for the knockout stages. This makes predicting their starting eleven a virtually impossible task, as it seems highly likely that star men such as Pepe, Vitinha, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias and Cristiano Ronaldo will start on the bench. In addition, manager Roberto Martinez will be aware of the fact that João Palhinha and Francisco Conceição are one booking away from a suspension, so he will be reluctant to use them in what is effectively a dead rubber for Portugal. Wide man Rafael Leão misses the game through suspension after picking up two bookings in two games, but in truth, he was unlikely to have started this game.
Georgia are unlikely to make many changes following the 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic. If manager Willy Sagnol does decide to freshen up his starting eleven, Watford striker Giorgi Chakvetadze could be the man to come in at the expense of Zuriko Davitashvili. Like Portugal, Georgia have a number of key men one booking away from suspension, but given the importance of the game, Sagnol will not rest any of those players.
