Georgia hosts North Macedonia in round 2 of the UEFA Nations League C. The match will be played on Tuesday, September 8th at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena (Tbilisi)
The Georgian national team has shown very nice attacking football in recent years. Coach Vladimir Weiss, known for his successful work in the Russian Championship, built a game that pleases the eye and brings results. Georgia usually beats weak opponents with a clear advantage and imposes a struggle in matches with strong rivals such as Croatia, Switzerland, Ireland, etc. And the Crusaders lose to such teams with minimum scores. In the recent Nations League match with Estonians, the Georgians played from a position of strength even on the road and gained a well-deserved victory. They surpassed the hosts in terms of ball possession (61% versus 39%), delivered 13 shots on their goal and didn’t allow them to create anything dangerous.

North Macedonia cannot be called a strong team. If the Macedonians are capable of something at home, then they rarely win on the road. And they usually beat openly bottom teams such as Liechtenstein, Latvia and Gibraltar. The last away victory of Macedonia over a decent rival (namely over Israel) happened three years ago! In the last match, the Macedonians overcame the Armenians at home with great difficulty, but they lost to the visitors in terms of ball possession and the number of shots on goal.
I think Georgia is a clear favorite of this match. In my opinion, the coefficients on its victory are too high. Judging by the last matches of the teams, the hosts look much more preferable in terms of the game. Moreover, North Macedonia plays very poorly away. I will be surprised if the Macedonians can take a draw from Tbilisi, and I can’t believe in their victory at all.
Prediction for the match: Georgia to win with 0.0 handicap
