Spain take on the visitors Georgia in a World Cup 2026 qualification match. The match will be played on Saturday, October 11th at Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero (Elche).
Spain want to prove once again they remain Europe’s number one power. “La Furia Roja” have finally returned to the top under Luis de la Fuente. With him, Spain immediately claimed silverware by winning the Nations League. That was followed by their biggest achievement yet — a dominant, confident run to the title at last year’s Euro. It seemed that Yamal and company had no real rivals left in Europe. However, in March, they only managed to get past the Netherlands in the playoffs via penalties after two draws. Then, in the Nations League final, they fell to Portugal in a shootout. Still, September brought a pair of convincing wins, even if against weaker opponents — a 3-0 demolition of Bulgaria followed by a spectacular 6-0 thrashing of a supposedly stronger Turkey. Spain’s attacking line continues to look unstoppable, led by the flair of Lamine Yamal and the experience of Rodri and Morata. Their current form suggests that de la Fuente’s team is determined to maintain its dominance and build momentum toward the 2026 World Cup.

Georgia have long had individually talented players, but it was only under Willy Sagnol — and through the Nations League route — that they finally reached the Euros. The debutants impressed everyone there with bold, attacking football against every opponent. That approach helped them make it to the playoffs, where they were eliminated by Spain. The autumn campaign was less successful: they started the Nations League with victories but finished only third behind the Czech Republic and Ukraine. Still, in March, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and company bounced back, crushing neighboring Armenia twice in playoff fixtures. Later in the fall, they lost 2-3 at home to Turkey but responded with a commanding 3-0 win over Bulgaria. Georgia continue to show growth and confidence, especially in attack, where Kvaratskhelia remains the main creative force. Yet their defensive discipline still leaves much to be desired when facing top-tier opponents like Spain.
Georgia once managed to beat Spain — back in 2016, in a friendly. But in official matches, “La Roja” have been flawless, winning all seven encounters, including a crushing 4-1 victory at Euro 2024. It’s clear that the hosts are expected to win again, and convincingly. The bet is that Spain will claim victory over their Caucasian visitors with a “-2 goals” handicap.
Prediction for the match: Spain to win with -2.0 handicap.
