The Eurocup brings us a match that could apply to the David vs. Goliath simile since, on one side, is the surprising Georgia, and on the other, is a continental power like Spain.
The Spaniards are coming off a 1-0 win over Albania in the last match of the group stage, in a game in which they were able to rest their starters.
On the other hand, the Georgians gave a blow on the table and beat Portugal 2-0, with goals by Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze.

Why Bet on Spain?
The Spanish National Team is one of the high points of the Eurocup so far, getting full points in the group stage and showing that it has the material to be champion. In the last match, with a substitute team, the Iberians defeated Albania 1-0, with a goal by striker Ferrán Torres.
They got nine points, scored five goals, and allowed none. Their best display came in the 1-0 victory over Italy, when they held the reigning champions at bay, hardly letting them get a shot on goal.
Luis De la Fuente’s team has five wins in a row and has not lost an official match since March 23 last year, when it was beaten 2-0 by Scotland. Another interesting fact is that they have allowed only one goal in the previous five games.
This could be an important match for Álvaro Morata, as a goal would allow him to move up to third place among the top scorers at the European Championship. In addition, the striker scored three goals against Georgia in last year’s 7-1 win.
The Spanish team’s absentees are striker Ayoze Perez, due to a tear, and defender Nacho, due to a muscle injury.
Why Bet on Georgia?
If there is a surprise in the round of 16 of the UEFA Euro 2024, it is Georgia, a country that does not stand out for the quality of its squad, but its teamwork has allowed it to shine in one of the most closely contested tournaments in the world.
With goals by Kvaratskhelia and Mikautadze, they defeated Portugal 2-0 in what may be one of the most important victories in their history, even though the Portuguese had some variations in their starting lineup.
Georgia finished third in its group with four points, scoring four goals and conceding the same number. It was overtaken by Portugal and Turkey, both with six. The Georgians have lost only two of their last ten matches but are the lowest-ranked team of all the qualifiers. They are 74th in the FIFA ranking.
Midfielder Anzor Mekvabishvili is the only absentee from this team due to suspension. They have no injuries.
Final Betting Analysis: Spain vs. Georgia

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Spain as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 1.242, Georgia has 15, and the draw is at 6.87.
