In the round of 16, the Spanish national team will face a relatively easy opponent, Georgia. The newcomer caused many surprises by defeating Portugal in the final match and securing a place in the top 4 third-placed teams to advance to the knockout stage. However, experts believe that the match between Spain vs Georgia is too lopsided. The tournament’s newcomer is unlikely to continue to create surprises.

Predictions for Spain vs Georgia 1st half: Asian Handicap (Spain -0.75), Over/Under (Over 1)
Predictions for Spain vs Georgia full match: Asian Handicap (Spain -1.75), Over/Under (Over 2.75)

The Spanish national team under coach Luis de la Fuente has shown its effectiveness. They still play the familiar Tiki Taka style, but now, when advancing towards the opponent’s penalty area, the warriors know how to score goals instead of just passing the ball as they did under Enrique. Spain’s strikers are also very good at seizing their opportunities. For example, in the match against Albania, Ferran Torres scored the opening goal with his first shot. In addition, Spain also has many other players who have shone, such as Yamal and Pedri. Therefore, they will certainly not allow Georgia the opportunity to create surprises.

On the other hand, Georgia’s fighting spirit is always a plus. Looking at how they started the last 3 matches is enough to see this. Spain’s players also need to be cautious in the 1st half. In all 3 matches at this year’s Euro, Georgia, as a newcomer, scored a goal before half-time. However, the lack of experience in big matches will still be a concern for coach Willy Sagnol. It should be noted that the victory against Portugal only came when Georgia’s opponent had already secured a place in the next round. In the match against the Czech Republic, after scoring the opening goal, Georgia had to struggle to secure a draw.

Predictions for Spain vs Georgia: Choose Spain -0.75 HT, Over goals

According to experts’ assessments, betting on Over goals for the upcoming match should be considered. Despite the bookmakers setting the goal line for the match between Spain and Georgia at 2.75 goals, the Euro betting guide still leans towards Over. In the last 5 meetings between the two teams, only 1 match ended with fewer than 3 goals scored.

In the Euro qualifiers, Spain also had 2 relatively easy matches against Georgia, scoring 10 goals in these matches. The most notable name is Alvaro Morata, who contributed a hat-trick in the 7-1 victory for the Spanish team.

Everything seems to favor Spain in the upcoming match, as they will have the advantage in terms of physical fitness with more rest days than their opponents, up to 2 days.Besides, securing an early spot in the next round allows Coach Luis de la Fuente to rest many of his key players in the final match. Meanwhile, Georgia has almost exhausted its first team in all 3 group stage matches. Another noteworthy point supporting the choice of the Over bet in the upcoming match is that Georgia always plays with a high winning spirit. This team will surely put all their efforts into attacking if they face a disadvantage in the score. That’s also the reason why they conceded 10 goals in 2 qualifying matches against Spain. The handicap odds set for the Euro 1/8 round match this year are up to -1.75 for Spain. However, in the current situation between Spain vs Georgia, the odds are still in favor of the Spanish team. In all 3 recent encounters with the opponent, Rodri and his teammates have achieved victories with a margin of at least 2 goals. Spain vs Georgia prediction: Choose Spain -1.75 FT, Over total score for the whole match.
