Ukraine vs Georgia Preview
- Tournament: UEFA Nations League.
- Date: Friday, October 11.
- Time: 6:45 PM GMT.
- Venue: Stadion Miejski Poznan.
Ukraine vs Georgia will be the third game for these teams in League B Group 1 of the UEFA Nations League as the fourth-placed team will face the team in the top spot.
The Ukrainians will enter this contest on the back of a poor run of form. They have secured just one win in their last five games, which also include three defeats and one draw. Their last two games have been defeats to Albania (2-1) and Czechia (3-2) as they continue to struggle for form. Considering they do not have a home advantage; the next game will be tough as well.
Georgia, on the other hand, have been on the exact opposite run of form as compared to their next opponents. They have won three of their last five games, securing a draw and suffering a loss as well. Their last two games have been wins against Czechia (4-1) and Albania (1-0) and they will take Ukraine on with loads of confidence after two big results.
On that note, let’s take a look at the team news coming out of both camps.
Ukraine National Football Team News
Manager Serhiy Rebrov went with a nearly full-strength squad in the last international break but the team was unable to achieve the desired results. He will likely stick with the same combination of players as they have some experienced heads who can work to turn Ukraine’s fortunes around.
Georgia National Football Team News
Manager Willy Sagnol went with a full-strength lineup in both games in the last international break and will look to do the same as he continues to elevate Georgia to another level in his tenure. They will mostly go with the same squad.

Key Players to Watch
Mykhalyo Mudryk (Ukraine)
The Chelsea winger will be a key player for the Ukrainians as he is their main attacking outlet on the left flank. His electric pace is bound to cause problems for the Georgian defenders once he is released on the wing and will have to be at his best to provide service for his striker in and around the box.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Georgia)
The Napoli and Georgia forward will be in the spotlight for his team after providing one goal and one assist in their 4-1 win against Czechia in the last break. He has been a key component of the nation’s rise in the sport and can be considered their golden generation’s frontrunner with his abilities. The team will rely on him for creative output upfront.
Ukraine vs Georgia Prediction
Given their history, Ukraine seems to be the top team ahead of this contest. However, recent form suggests Georgia are more than capable of nicking a result given the form their players are in, plus the tactical setup employed by Sagnol is in their favour. This could result in a close game, and the visitors will win.
Prediction: Ukraine 1-2 Georgia
