It’s the final match for those in Group F, and first up we get to see the ‘Jvarosnebi’ go up against the ‘Seleção das Quinas’ in what could be a key battle to see who qualifies in the group. While Georgia currently sit bottom of the group and will be hoping that a win against already-qualified Portugal could ensure that their first time reaching the Euros can at least make it past the group stages, Portugal, who won all their qualifying matches and will be looking to repeat their Euro 2016 win, this time in Germany, will likely make a few changes with an all but guaranteed first place finish, unless Turkey can make up ground on their 5 goal difference deficit. Rather than focus on the past thought, let’s look at what the bookmakers are saying about the latest Georgia vs Portugal odds and see who they think might walk away with the spoils on the night.
Looking at the latest Euro betting odds, according to BetVictor at the time of writing, it’s clear that Georgia are far from being favourites, with odds of 7/1* meaning a £10 bet would return £80 if correct, while the same £10 bet on Portugal would pay out just £13.33, with odds of 1/3* making it a low-return wager. For those who think both teams might go the distance and secure a draw, the current price is 19/5*, so a £10 stake would pay £48 if correct after 90 minutes. With Portugal currently 6th in the FIFA Men’s World rankings table and Georgia way down at 75th place, it’s pretty simple to understand why the odds are so heavily stacked in the Portuguese’s favour and why Georgia are the long bet in this fixture.
While Georgia’s head coach, Willy Sagnol, will hope that his country’s most capped player, Gurum Kashia, can captain his team to a victory alongside star strikers Georges Mikautadze and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, to help them on their path to a then-probable round of 16 place, Portugal’s coach, Roberto Martinez, will look to the country’s highest scorer and most capped player as his captain, the infamous Cristiano Ronaldo, alongside the oldest Euro’s player and his vice-captain Pepe, to make it a clean sweep and finish the Group tables just like they did their qualifying games, with nothing but wins. While we know that Portugal have already qualified and that this game might just be for pride, we predict that Portugal will win comfortably, even if they decide to bench a few of their star players in advance of the Round of 16 starting on the 29th June.
