Georgia vs North Macedonia Prediction & Betting tips
Both Georgia and North Macedonia were able to win their group in the first edition of the UEFA Nations League in League D. Not only did this bring the two football dwarfs promotion to League C, but they also qualified for the four-tier tournament for one of the coveted places at the 2021 European Championship. After their victories in the semifinals over Belarus and Kosovo, the ticket for the 2021 final is now available on the game.
In the run-up to the match between Georgia and North Macedonia, the odds of the bookmakers turn out very thinly in the direction of the home side, as the odds comparison of the betting base shows.
It should be noted, however, that this match could also lead to overtime or even a penalty shoot-out. It is clear to both teams that a single mistake can result in defeat. For both nations it would also be the biggest and most painful defeat in history to date, which is why the betting providers are expecting two teams that will primarily focus on the defensive.
Against this background, we think it is very promising to bet on the draw in Georgia against North Macedonia after the normal playing time of 90 minutes. In addition to results like the 0-0, this would also include situations in which a team comes back after being behind.
Georgia :
The Georgian national football team has only existed since the 1990s, or since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The footballers known as Jvarosnebi (in German: the crusaders) took part in qualifying rounds for world championships seven times without success.
For the seventh time they also failed to qualify for a European Championship finals. In Group D of the 2021 European Championship qualification, Georgia secured two wins against Gibraltar, but could not win a game against Switzerland, Denmark or Ireland.
Fourth in the group was once again the end of the qualification for Vladimir Weiss’ squad, who this year can look forward to the back door set up by UEFA for the first time through the Nations League. Four places have been reserved for the four leagues of the Nations League.
Georgia prevailed in group D1 with 16 out of 18 possible points and 12-2 goals against Kazakhstan, Latvia and Andorra, which earned the Jvarosnebi their place in the playoffs. After beating Belarus 1-0 in the semi-final, the underdog is only one more victory away from going to a European Championship for the first time in history.
No wonder that Vladimir Weiss has nominated the absolute crème de la crème and has not given up any of his top performers. Against this background, the betting providers also trust the Jvarosnebi to make a big hit.
The fact that it could work with this is also underlined by the latest balance sheet. Vladimir Weiss’ team has now been undefeated for five international matches in a row, but last did not get past a 1-1 draw in the Nations League on October 14, 2020, despite the majority away from home in North Macedonia.
North Macedonia:
The North Macedonian national football team has also only appeared as an independent nation in UEFA competitions since the 1990s. The name change from Macedonia to North Macedonia only came into effect in February 2019.
So they won their group victory in the Nations League Group D4 under their old name, which doesn’t make it any less impressive. The Crveni Lavovi (in German: the red lions) got 15 of 18 possible points there and lost only one of their six games.
Accordingly, the selection trained by Igor Angelovski could also win the ticket for the finals of a major tournament for the first time in history. For this, the North Macedonians threw Kosovo, which many experts favored, out of the tournament in the semi-finals of the playoffs.
It was 2: 1 in the end after 90 minutes, with the Crveni Lavovi defending with all their might for almost exactly an hour after Darko Velkovski scored the 2: 1 in the 33rd minute. Should the North Macedonian national football team manage to take an early lead again, the match schedule in Georgia could be identical.
In Georgia against North Macedonia, the tip on the progress of Crveni Lavovi is basically not under a bad star. The number 65 in the FIFA world rankings is currently unbeaten for six international matches in a row.
During this period, Igor Angelovski’s men played twice against today’s opponents Georgia, against whom the game ended 1-1 on both occasions. In both cases, the North Macedonians could not end the game with eleven players. Most recently, keeper Stole Dimitrievski flew off the pitch in the 67th minute of the 1-1 draw in Skopje on October 14, 2020. Despite being outnumbered, Crveni Lavovi equalized in the 93rd minute of the game.
