Recommended tip Spain Wins

Well, we didn’t see that one coming, did you?

Rank outsiders Georgia beating the form team of the competition Portugal by two goals to nil on Wednesday night.

What’s more, they actually deserved the win but the big question is, does this gutsy Georgian team stand a hope in hell of beating one of the tournament favourites, Spain?

It’s hard not to have been impressed with Spain in the three games they have played in Euro24, maximum points and to be honest, they don’t even look like they have got out of second gear yet which is an ominous sign for the rest of the teams in the competition.

Odds and Predictions

We are all for the romance of tournaments like this, the underdogs pulling off a shock, just as Georgia have already done against Portugal, but we can’t see any other result here than an emphatic win for Spain.

The bookies have Spain as the short favourites at odds of 1.20, the odds on Georgia are a whopping 13.0 and the draw is priced at 7.0.

So, our first predictions are for Spain to win and a correct score of 3 – 0 which is available at 7.0.

For our final tips we are going for a Betbuilder, ‘Over 2 goals’, ‘Over 6 corners for Spain’ and ‘Match result will be Spain’

Odds of 3.20 for this one which seems fair to us.

Expected Line Ups

Most of the Spanish players will need no introductions to English punters but it is a different story with the Georgia team.

They do however have a few top players, notably Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giorgi Mamardashvili.

Kvaratskhelia has put in some impressive displays on the wing for Napoli whilst Mamardashvili has established himself as the number one goalie for Valencia.

Spain (4-3-3): Unai Simon; Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Aymeric Laporte, Alejandro Balde; Rodri, Mikel Merino, Dani Olmo; Marco Asensio, Alvaro Morata, Gavi

Georgia (5-3-2): Giorgi Mamardashvili; Otar Kakabadze, Guram Kashia, Solomon Kvirkvelia, Luka Lochoshvili, Irakli Azarovi; Giorgi Chakvetadze, Nika Kvekveskiri, Giorgi Kochorashvili; Georges Mikautadze, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

How Far Will These Teams Progress in the Tournament?

If Spain win this match, which we are sure they will, their likely opponents in the next rounds could be tricky, to say the least.

If the results go as expected they will face Portugal in the quarter finals and Germany in the semis!

So, if they end up winning Euro 24 they won’t have taken the easy route.

As for Georgia, they can hold their heads up high, they have achieved the impossible by getting this far.
