Spain vs Georgia EURO 2024 Preview

Georgia faces the daunting challenge of stopping Spain in their tracks when the two sides clash on Sunday night in the last 16 of EURO 2024.

Spain, undoubtedly the most in-form team in the competition, has been impressive, maintaining a perfect record in the group stage.

La Furia Roja hammered Croatia 3-0 in their opening match before narrowly defeating Italy and Albania 1-0. The 2012 winners finished atop Group B with nine points, five points clear of second-placed Italy, and impressively reached the knockouts without conceding a single goal.

Meanwhile, debutants Georgia have been the surprise package of the tournament, qualifying for the last 16 as one of the best third-placed teams.

Willy Sagnol’s side lost 3-1 to Turkey in their opening match, drew 1-1 with the Czech Republic, and then surprisingly beat Portugal 2-0 in their final group match.

This victory, against a much-changed Portugal side, is now considered the biggest upset in Euros history according to FIFA rankings. Despite the daunting task ahead, this historic win should inspire Georgia as they face an intimidating Spanish side.

Spain vs Georgia team news

Spain’s coach, Luis de la Fuente, is expected to revert to his strongest eleven, having made ten changes against Albania after securing qualification as group winners by Matchday 2. Rodri returns to the starting lineup after serving a one-match ban, while Nacho Fernandez and Ayoze Perez will need to pass late fitness tests.

Georgia’s Willy Sagnol has a full squad at his disposal, except for midfielder Anzor Mekvabishvili, who is suspended after receiving a second booking during their historic win over Portugal.
