Georgia vs Bulgaria Prediction: Georgians to make one step forward to play-off

The Georgian national team snatched an overtime victory from Turkey and will continue their road to the playoffs with a match against Bulgaria. Will the Georgians win again? We'll pick a few bets at once.

Georgia could have won two games already

In the opening game of the tournament, Elias Zouros's team failed to win against Belgium and lost in overtime, 76-79 (70-70). Then came the devastating defeat at the hands of Spain, 64-90. And then the already-mentioned tough win against Turkey 88-83 (68:68). Now a win against Bulgaria will make an excellent buildup for the Georgian team to make the playoffs. 

Bulgaria lost to everyone without a chance

The first three rounds confirmed Bulgaria's status as the weakest team in Group A. Rosen Barchovski's team lost all their matches without much chance of success. First, the Bulgarians were defeated by Spain 87-114. Then they lost to Turkey, 87-101. Finally, they lost to Montenegro in the third round, 81-91. As you can see from the results, Bulgaria, led by Olympiacos forward Sasha Vezenkov, played well on offense, but fell apart on defense time and time again.

Head-to-head encounters

The last time the opponents met was in 2011. The match ended with Bulgaria's victory, 79-69.

Expert Betting Tips

Bulgaria is a very unbalanced team, which scores quite a lot of points, but concedes even more. The Georgian team will certainly take advantage of this weak ess. For the Georgians, the EuroBasket group stage is a home one, which should also play its part. The result of the upcoming game will also be affected by Georgia's victory over Turkey in the previous round. Now the Georgian team has a good shot at making the playoffs.

Prediction: Georgia will win.
