The odds heavily favor Spain, reflecting their historical dominance and current form. The aggressive moneyline on Spain at -512 contrasts sharply with Georgia’s +1325, indicating the former’s expected straightforward victory. The spread set at 1.5 points suggests confidence in Spain’s ability to win by at least two goals, while the total hovering around 2.5 points leans towards a relatively low-scoring affair.
| Team | SP/RL | TOTAL | ML | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spain | -1.5 (-160) | 2.5 over (-130) | -512 |  |
| Georgia | +1.5 (+125) | 2.5 under (+120) | +1325 | |

Draw: +295
Unai Simón GK vs. Giorgi Mamardashvili GK
Unai Simón as the key player of Spain has shown that he has been crucial in efforts of calming down the team’s defense line. His game records include successive starts, and within these last games, he did not let in any goal thus proving his reliability and quick response to goal threats. Simón’s ability to marshal his back line and make timely and vital interceptions makes him a solid wall against any attacking team, even more so one that has been rather subdued in front of goal against the higher-ranked teams like Georgia.
In contrast, Giorgi Mamardashvili of Georgia has a considerably more difficult rank as he had to work massively more in the given tournament. His 21 saves demonstrate Wastis resistance to a heavy water flow, but the four goals allowed speak of his weak spots that Spanish efficient forwards will not miss. Thus, Mamardashvili is going to play a decisive role in maintaining Georgia’s chances in the match; he is going to have to rise far above his average level to counter the elaborate striking actions of Spain’s forwards. His skills in pressuring will be essential for Georgia if they are ever to stand a chance against the aztecs.
Tactical Offense: Spain’s Striking Power
Spain’s attacking prowess is led by Álvaro Morata and Ferran Torres in the tournament, the former scoring a goal for his team. This, alongside the advanced pressing making constant attempts to attack the opposition, is backed up by the midfield creativity of Fabián Ruiz, who scored a goal and made a vision for another one, meaning that Spain can pose a tough challenge to any team’s defenses.
Georgia’s Counter-Attack Approach
Despite the underperformance, Georgia has performed exceptionally well especially through goal king Georges Mikautadze who has scored three goals. Altogether, they may take advantage of any weaknesses that Spain’s backline may have, especially with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Their task will be to negotiate a way around Spain’s sensational backline and make something out of the fewer opportunities that are likely to come their way.
Spain Betting Trends
Spain’s consistency is notable, with an average of 2.5 goals per match in their last five outings and only conceding an average of 0.6 goals. Their stronghold is particularly evident at home, winning 80% of those games. These trends suggest a high probability of another solid performance, especially given their historical success against Georgia.
Georgia Betting Trends
Conversely, Georgia’s form against Spain is less inspiring, with no wins in their last five matchups and a worrying trend of only scoring 0.8 goals per match while conceding 1.4. Their poor away performance, winning just 20% of such games, further complicates their prospects.
Spain vs. Georgia Betting Picks
Given the comprehensive data and historical context, Spain is the clear favorite to win. Their balanced team dynamics and superior form make them a safe bet, though the high moneyline offers minimal value. Bettors might find better value in the spread, expecting Spain to cover the -1.5 with their offensive prowess.
For those looking at Euro 2024 betting picks and odds, prop bets and total, the under on the total might be tempting considering Georgia’s limited scoring ability and Spain’s strong defense. This game likely won’t be a high-scoring affair, given the stakes and the defensive capabilities on display.
Ultimately, Spain should comfortably secure a victory, but Georgia’s spirited underdog spirit might just keep the scoreline tighter than expected. Bettors should keep an eye on live odds for potential shifts that could offer value mid-game.
Score Prediction: Spain 2, Georgia 0
