GIBRALTAR-GEORGIA | Monday 8.45pm
Neither Gibraltar nor Georgia have any league objectives. The former are relegated, while the latter have won the mathematical certainty of playing in Nations League B, dragged along by that phenomenon who plays for Napoli, with an unpronounceable name, which we boldly spell anyway: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. OK, we’ve talked about the league table and we’ve said it all, what we haven’t said is that Georgia certainly don’t want to lose to extend a nine-game winning streak: seven wins and two draws, and in eight of these the goal has remained unbeaten. In short, the team coached by Frenchman Sagnol is on the rise and seems to have no intention of stopping.
And it won’t, because on paper, against Gibraltar, the task is a simple one, as we saw in the first leg: four-nil, with no problems, without even conceding a shot on goal. In short, there is little doubt as to who will win this match. Which could give us more pearls from that player mentioned earlier, from Napoli, who is proving to have important technical skills. Of another category dare we say.
The Prediction
Driven by a Kvaratskhelia in a state of grace, Georgia should have no problem winning the last three points of this ride. As mentioned before, the goal is also not to take any goals. And so the guests could impose themselves in a match where only one team could find the way to a goal.
Gibraltar-Georgia line-up probables
- GIBRALTAR (4-3-3): Coleing; Chipolina, Torrilla, Britto, Annesley; Walker, Olivero, Casciaro; Ronan, Wiseman, Lopes.
- GEORGIA (3-4-3): Mamardshavili; Kvirkvelia, Kashia, Khocholava; Kakabadze, Aburjania, Kvekveskiri, Tsitaisshvili; Davitashvili, Zivzivadze, Kvaratskhelia.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 0-3
