This match will be played on 22/03/2024 at 01:00
Georgia will be aiming to move one step closer to the EURO 2024 finals when they take on Luxembourg at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena on Thursday afternoon. The Georgians will surely rely on Napoli ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line, while Watford midfielder Giorgi Chakvetadze will be yet another man to watch in the home team.
Luxembourg, on the other hand, did well to beat the likes of Bosnia and Liechtenstein in the previous two competitive matches, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Georgia, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. St Pauli forward Danel Sinani is banned for the match, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side this time out. When the two teams met in a friendly six years ago Luxembourg defeated Georgia 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.

Georgia vs Luxembourg Prediction
As we have mentioned earlier, the home advantage of Georgia is a big plus for them here as they follow a three-match unbeaten run. Also, their only defeat in the past 11 home outings was against Spain. The team has won seven of the past 11 home outings, too.
Meanwhile, Luxembourg is having an inconsistent display on the road of late. They were winless in four of the past six away matches and the fixtures they won in that stretch were against Liechtenstein and Bosnia & Herzegovina. In that case, we like to back Georgia to win as the main tip for this match.
Moving on, Georgia’s best score against Luxembourg in the past is 1-0 ft. They seem capable of sealing the same here considering the away form of Luxembourg. Thus, we like to suggest Georgia 1-0 correct score as the second pick here. You can also go for the under 2.5 goals tip for this match.
