Georgia vs Portugal. Will the Georgians make it to the playoffs?
On June 26 in the match of the 3rd round of Euro 2024, at the Veltins Arena (Gelsenkirchen), the national teams of Georgia and Portugal will meet.
The Georgian national team showed a decent level of play this year; the team managed to make it into the main draw of the European Championship for the first time in its history. Before the tournament itself, the “crusaders” held only one freight train, beating Montenegro 3:1. At the Euro itself, Willy Sagnol's boys started unconvincingly, losing to the Turkish national team 1:3. In the second meeting, the Georgians showed themselves weaker, but achieved a result, drawing with the Czech team 1:1. Mikautadze scored a goal for the Crusaders. The Georgian national team takes 4th place in Group F, gaining 1 point, with a goal difference of 2:4.
Lobzhanidze could have brought a historic victory in the last minute of the match with the Czech Republic. But the team still has a chance to reach the playoffs.
Portugal
The Portuguese national team was active before the start of the tournament; the team took part in five friendly matches, scoring three victories and losing in two more cases. At the European Championship, Roberto Martinez's boys also started well, confidently defeating the Czech Republic 2:1 in the first meeting. In the next game, the “chosen ones” showed themselves even better, breaking the resistance of Turkey 3:0. Silva and Fernandes scored goals for the Portuguese, another goal was scored after an own goal. The Portuguese national team takes 1st place in the quartet, gaining 6 points, with a goal ratio of 5:1.
