Georgia vs Gibraltar Prediction: An easy win for the Crusaders

Georgia has beaten Gibraltar in all four previous head-to-head encounters. Will Julio Ribas's men be able to break their losing streak now? Our prediction: the Crusaders will win again!

The Georgian team has never qualified for major international tournaments in their history, but recently they have had an excellent chance of doing so. The Crusaders' performance in the classical qualifiers for UEFA EURO 2020 was not brilliant. Still, they made it through the UEFA Nations League to the knock-out phase, where they beat Belarus 1:0 in the semi-finals but lost to Northern Macedonia 0:1 in the final and were left without a European Championship. In the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, the Georgians had some excellent games and even managed to beat Sweden 2:0, but all these victories were good enough for just a penultimate place in the standings.

The Gibraltar side is relatively new to FIFA and has only taken part in several qualifying tournaments, where they have failed each time. For example, the Red and Whites lost all eight games in the Euro 2020 qualifiers with a combined score of 3:31, and in the World Cup 2022 qualifiers, they lost ten games in a row on a goal difference of 4:43. The Gibraltarians are just another football underdog, but they look good compared to other similarly humble teams. They managed to win their group in the last UEFA Nations League, beating Liechtenstein and San Marino.

The Gibraltar team performed well in the last UEFA Nations League, earning them promotion, but they were hardly too happy about that, as they are now the main underdogs in their group. Georgians have been looking very solid in recent times, and they should be able to deal with a football underdog. We suggest betting on the Georgian team to win with a handicap (-2.5) for 1.920.

Georgia and Gibraltar are very different teams, so in the upcoming match for the Crusaders, it is essential not just to win but to do it as safely as possible, using a minimum of energy and emotion. After all, the decisive meetings of the tournament are ahead of them. For this reason, it is worth expecting that they will try to spend the opening minutes as actively as possible to get a lead in the score and then gradually develop it. With this in mind, the match's first goal will be from 1 to 23 minutes for 1.88.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is one of the brightest players in the Russian Premier League, having played this season for FC Dynamo Batumi. As a member of the Georgian club, the young player distinguished himself with excellent statistics, having scored eight goals and two assists in 11 games. He has also recently started to play with high scoring for the Georgian national team, scoring four goals in six games of qualifying for the World Cup-2022. Now, we suggest betting on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's goal for 2.2.
