Cyprus vs Georgia match preview
Can Georgia claim their first win of Euro 2024 qualifying?
Back in March, the Crusaders held Norway to a credible 1-1 draw in Batumi, courtesy of Georges Mikautadze’s equaliser.
Willy Sagnol’s side are now unbeaten in nine competitive fixtures, winning seven of them, having gained promotion to Nations League B last September.
So, there is hope that, in 12 months time, Georgia could be making their major tournament debut, given that they’ve already secured a play-off place, if needed.
In the context of this group, if Georgia are going to seriously challenge Scotland and Norway for second spot, this game is simply must win.
In a competitive Group A, Cyprus are set to be the whipping-boys, swatted aside 3-0 by Scotland in their opener at Hampden.
In terms of qualifiers, Cyprus have won just one of their last 14 fixtures, this a shock win over Slovenia in March 2021.
So, Georgia are favourites to claim the points at AEK Arena in Larnaca.
Cyprus team news
Cyprus’ Head Coach Temur Ketsbaia is most famous in England for kicking the advertising hoardings after scoring a last-minute winner for Newcastle United against Bolton in 1998; it’s worth searching on Youtube.
Of his current squad, only Demetris Christofi has more than five international goals to his name, ending his six-year wait for one in a friendly against Armenia in March.
St Mirren midfielder Alex Gogić is a rare member of this squad who does not ply their trade domestically.
Georgia team news
Georgia’s undisputed star is Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, nicknamed Kvaradona after helping Napoli win their first Scudetto in 33 years this season.
In just 20 international appearances, he’s already scored ten goals, all coming in competitive fixtures.
Giorgi Mamardashvili of Valencia could get the nod in goal, fighting to displace long-time number one Giorgi Loria.
