For the 1st group of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Georgia welcomes Greece at the Adjarabet Arena in Batumi. The confrontation will take place behind closed doors after the collapse of an apartment building in Batumi a few hours ago with 8 dead.
Georgia disappointed in September matches, suffered 2 defeats in an equal number of matches and left behind the good image at the beginning of the groups. It was initially defeated 1-0 inside Kosovo after a mediocre performance while a few days later it experienced a 4-0 defeat in Spain, in a match in which the hosts were ahead in the first half with 3-0 and in the replay they maintained strength.
These two defeats, but mainly the bad performances, brought the challenge to the face of the coach of the team, Sanyol, who remains on the bench, but it is certain that he will hardly finish the qualifiers.
In the standings after 5 games Georgia is in last place with 1 point and minus 8 from 2nd Sweden.
From nadir to zenith in a few days Greece in the September matches that kept her alive in the qualifying battle. Initially he left two points with the 1-1 draw in Kosovo, with her image being disappointing especially in the second half and conceding the equalizer just before the final of the match. Some days later but it was amazing against Sweden and got a fair 2-1 victory, gaining beyond the points time and calm in view of the continuation of the qualifiers.
First victory for Greece in the group, after 3 draws, which keep it in 3rd place with 6 points and minus 3 from 2nd Sweden.
Georgia disappointed in the September matches and lost all hope for any distinction in the group. Unlike Greece, whose victory over Sweden raised its psychology and kept it in the bay of qualifying. If he wants to continue to hope, he must tonight against a weak opponent and get the three points and I believe that he can do it.
Proposal: Georgia - Greece 2 with odds of 2.40
