Both teams lost their first games. Georgia lost to Turkey, Bulgaria lost to Spain. In short, this is already a decisive match, given that we are talking about a four-team group that has already given us some initial indications. But the hosts can still hope, even if they will have to pull off a miracle against Montella’s team.
Georgia is the favorite because it is a lively team with important players who can decide the match with a single play. In Group E of the World Cup qualifiers, considering that the Red Fury has secured its place in next year’s tournament, second place is important. Bulgaria knows very well that it has no chance, also because it is destined to lose this match.
That said, and obviously also based on what we saw on Thursday evening, it is clear that Georgia will take the three points and remain in contention, effectively eliminating the visiting team. Two teams will take to the field that are experiencing different moments and objectively have different objectives.
