Georgia vs Ukraine prediction

THE FORECAST

Ukraine hold a clear FIFA ranking advantage (33rd vs 73rd) and are already in better form, having won their opening Nations League fixture 1-0 while keeping a clean sheet. Georgia's situation is further destabilised by the sudden resignation of coach Willy Sagnol just before this match, adding significant disruption to a side that already lost 1-0 to Northern Ireland; Ukraine are without Dovbyk but otherwise carry more quality and momentum. Both sides face equal fixture congestion at 3 days' rest, so that factor is neutral, and Ukraine's superior squad depth and organizational stability make them the clear favourite to take maximum points.
