THE KEY STATS
- This is the first ever meeting between Georgia and Belgium at U21 level.
- Victory for Georgia would see them become the first host nation to reach the knockout phase at the U21 finals since Sweden in 2009.
- Belgium have kept seven clean sheets in their last eight U21 EURO qualifying and final tournament matches.
- Belgium have lost only two of their last 16 U21 EURO qualifying and final tournament matches (W10 D4).
- Belgium have won only one of their last ten U21 EURO final tournament matches (D3 L6).
THE PREDICTION
In the opening round of fixtures of the 2023 UEFA Under-21 European Championships, Georgia stunned the competition by pulling off a 2-0 win against Portugal. It isn’t unfair to suggest the Georgians wouldn’t be at this tournament if they weren’t hosts and they are missing their best player, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but they have now given themselves a real chance of making the knockout stages out of a difficult group. Belgium come into this on the back of beginning their campaign with a goalless draw against the Netherlands in Tbilisi. That low-scoring encounter is more to do with the strength of the Dutch defence as Belgium do have some really capable forwards in attack. Given that, as well as Georgia’s good start, this could well be an entertaining encounter.
BETTING TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
