Scotland FC
Scotland’s Group A team will face Spain in a straight shootout for the chance to enter the draw as group winners. Currently level on points with La Roja, Scotland is in second place due to a worse goal difference. However, they still have a chance to be at the top, if they could get all the maximum points here. It is not impossible though, as they are with a good run here, winning their last four. Scotland enters the contest on a three-game losing streak, but it did not stopped them from being the seond. They are already assured of a spot in the main event and will aim to bounce back to winning ways in this match.
Scotland suffers notable injuries, including their captain, Andrew Roberston, who needs to have surgery due to his injury.
Georgia FC
Georgia’s hopes of reaching the top two positions in Group A were dashed in September after conceding nine goals in back-to-back losses to Spain and Norway. However, the Crusaders managed to return to winning ways with an 8-0 victory over Thailand. Georgia then faced Cyprus, who forced Giorgi Mamardashvili into a few first-half saves last month. However, Otar Kiteishvili scored the goal from range, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Levan Shengelia, and Georges Mikautadze contributed to the 4-0 victory, cementing their fourth-placed position in the group. Georgia will finish second from bottom before seeking redemption in the playoffs due to their 2022-23 Nations League success. The Crusaders are still capable of usurping Norway into the bronze medal position, but it will not significantly impact the overall standings. Georgia must now navigate two final fixtures against Group A’s top dogs, starting with the visit of Scotland on Thursday.
Georgia will make it do without Gabriel Sigua, who suffered an injury. However, aside from him, Scotland are fortunate that they will be with a complete squad here.
Prediction:
Scotland FC (2.5)
Odds: -0.89
