Expert analysis of Spain vs Georgia

Among the 18 teams participating in this year’s EURO knockout stage, there is no doubt that Spain is the most impressive team. Without hiding anything, Luis De La Fuente’s squad has swept aside all opponents. They proved to be the “death squad” of Group B by securing a perfect 9 points against Croatia, Italy, and Albania.

As the only team with a perfect record in the group stage, there is no reason for Spain to fear any opponent, whether it be France or Germany. However, first and foremost, La Roja will have to deal with a team named Georgia, which caused the biggest shock of the tournament so far by defeating Spain’s neighbor, Portugal, with a score of 2-0 to advance from the group stage.
