Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Euro 2024 match.
Spain
The Spanish side calmly and confidently finished 1st in their group, advancing to the knockout stage. They smashed Croatia in the first game (3:0) and beat Italy (1:0) in the second round, leaving almost no chance to their opponents to come back. The last match against Albania meant nothing to Spain, yet they won it too. I believe the Round of 16 game will not be a problem for Spain at all.
Georgia
The main sensation of this tournament. Georgia beat Portugal in the 3rd round of the group stage and qualified for the knockout phase. This is their first European Championship. Georgia qualified for this tournament via play-offs after they had finished 4th in their group, 9 points behind 2nd place and 13 points behind the leaders, Spain. They are already national heroes. So I believe there will be no pressure for Georgia in this game.
Spain – Georgia prediction
The sides had head-to-head games in the qualifying group. Spain destroyed the Georgian defensive line (7:1) in the game held in Tbilisi. The Spanish side won their home game too (3:1). The teams know each other too well, and this may help Georgia a bit. But in the end, Spain will beat their opponent without a sufficient problem.
