Georgia vs Armenia Preview

• Competition: UEFA Nations League
• Date: 23 March, 2025
• Kick-off Time: 2:00 pm GMT
• Venue: Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, Georgia

Georgia will welcome Armenia to the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena on Sunday afternoon for the second leg of the final round of the UEFA Nations League B. Georgia has more or less confirmed its place in the second tier of the competition for at least another edition with a 3-0 advantage from the first leg. The hosts finished third in Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League B last year while Armenia finished second in its group in the third division, thereby setting up the encounter between the two nations. The Georgia vs Armenia fixture should turn out to be a joyful occasion for the former.

Georgia will not be content with how the recent matches have played out. In the last six games, the country has collected just a couple of victories to go with three defeats and a draw. However, one of those wins did come against Armenia in the return leg. After a surprisingly good run at the Euros, Georgia has understandably not been able to keep up the pace but will be content with maintaining its place in the UEFA Nations League B. Georgia will be up against Turkiye and Bulgaria next following the current international break.

Armenia's latest run of results has been horrific and atrocious with only one win, a draw, and four defeats in the last six outings. During this period, Armenia has scored just four goals and conceded 11. The national team did manage to seal the second spot in the Nations League C but all signs point to Armenia making a return to the third tier for another season. John van't Schip will be aware that his players will need to perform nothing less than a miracle to overturn the 3-0 deficit from the first leg.

Georgia Team News

Luka Lochoshvili will not be available for Georgia on Sunday. The defender is recovering from a leg injury. Elsewhere, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Guram Kashia are expected to return to the starting XI, having served their suspension in the first leg.

Armenia Team News

There are no fitness or suspension-related issues reported out of the Armenian camp as of now. Armenia is expected to go in with a 4-2-3-1 formation which might be tweaked a little to a more offensive approach.

Key Players to Watch in Georgia vs Armenia

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Georgia)

When talking about Georgia, most football fans think little beyond the great Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. The PSG forward has defeated the claims that regarded him as a one-season wonder and has consistently delivered quality attacking numbers for his clubs as well as his country. The 24-year-old made the biggest move in the January transfer window, joining Paris from Napoli. He has settled in well with two goals and three assists already to his name. Kvaratskhelia will be eager to get back in action for his nation after missing the first leg due to a suspension. He has 1.0 xG in his last five appearances.

Georges Mikautadze (Georgia)

Georges Mikautadze ensured that Georgia didn't feel the absence of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia against Armenia in the first leg. The 24-year-old scored two vital goals and was a constant threat to the opposition's backline. Mikautadze captured the eyes of the world during the 2024 Euros where he successfully led the line for his nation. With Kvaratskhelia back, the Lyon man will be looking to link up with the star forward and hopefully increase his goal tally. He has accumulated 0.5 xG in his last five games.

Georgia vs Armenia Prediction

There was a visible gap in quality between the two sides when they played out the first leg in Armenia. The Georgian players will back themselves to earn an even bigger margin of victory at their home ground on Sunday.

Predicted Score: Georgia 5-0 Armenia
