Both teams finished second in their respective qualifying groups, but their journeys to the final tournament were quite different. To gain a comprehensive understanding and make a well-founded prediction for the upcoming match, let's take a look at the latest news surrounding the teams.
Head-to-Head
⚠ These teams haven't faced each other in a long time, so relying on their head-to-head history for making a prediction isn't the most reliable approach.

⚪ Georgia's national team faced a tougher and more time-consuming journey to the final stage. In the qualifying rounds, the "Crusaders" finished second in Group C, but unlike the Poles, their points tally wasn't enough for an automatic berth in the tournament's final phase. Over 10 matches, they collected 19 points: 6 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. Among the teams that finished second, Georgia ranked ninth out of nine possible spots.
🔴 Consequently, the Georgians had to go through playoff matches, where they faced Croatia, who finished fourth in the same ranking. In the first home match, the "Crusaders" secured a narrow victory, and in the return leg in Rijeka, after an aggregate score of 3-2 and a total result of 3-3, the match went into two 15-minute extra time periods and then a penalty shootout. In the shootout, Georgia proved more accurate, winning 7-6. This was the only way they secured their ticket to the main European tournament's final stage.
⚽ As part of their championship preparations, Georgia played three friendly matches: in March, they defeated Finland (4-2) and Serbia (3-1), but then lost to Romania (0-1).
