📢 Can Georgia U21 surprise once again in the second round of the European Under-21 Championship? Both teams are in fine form: France are unbeaten in their last six matches (including friendlies), while Georgia secured a victory in their opening match. Although the French team is renowned for their attacking prowess, they rarely score more than two goals per game. Georgia, on the other hand, boasts a solid defense and a knack for swift counterattacks. The odds clearly favor France, but the Georgian players are determined to put up a fight on the pitch.

France U21 Team Overview

The team's last official match took place on as part of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship (nominal hosts – Portugal U21, nominal visitors – France U21). The match ended in a 0-0 draw.

Here are the match statistics (France U21 vs Portugal U21):

• possession: 53% vs 47%;
• corners: 4 vs 1;
• fouls: 15 vs 14;
• yellow cards: 2 vs 2;
• shots on target: 4 vs 3.

🔵 France's U21 team showcases a well-balanced style of play, emphasizing attack while maintaining a solid defense. Over their last ten official matches, they have secured five wins, suffered three losses, and drawn twice, indicating a level of consistency in their performances. Their average scoring rate stands at 2.3 goals per match, with a low concession rate of just 0.9 goals per game. However, it's worth noting that the French side rarely scores more than two goals per game, which might be a limitation in their upcoming fixture.

✅ The France U21 squad is one of the most star-studded in the tournament, featuring many players who regularly appear for clubs in top leagues. However, their opening match against Portugal (0-0) raised several questions: despite being favorites, the French side appeared lackluster, with more attacking threats coming from their opponents. As a result, some changes in the attacking lineup can be anticipated for the next match—Villarreal's forward Thierno Barry, who had an impressive season in La Liga (11 goals and 4 assists in 35 matches), might be included in the starting XI.

Georgia U21 Team Overview

The visitors last played an official match on in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship, where they faced Poland Under-21 as the nominal hosts and Georgia Under-21 as the nominal visitors. The match concluded with a 1-2 scoreline.

Here are the match statistics (Georgia U21 vs Poland U21):

• possession: 56% vs 44%;
• corners: 5 vs 7;
• fouls: 21 vs 11;
• yellow cards: 5 vs 2;
• shots on target: 3 vs 3.

⚪ The Georgian national team adopts a cautious playing style, focusing on solid defense and capitalizing on counter-attacking opportunities. In their last ten official matches, Georgia have suffered defeat only once, conceding an average of one goal per game while scoring an average of two goals per match. This approach allows them to be competitive even against stronger opponents.

✅ In the first round, Georgia's U21 team secured a crucial victory over Poland with a 2-1 scoreline, significantly boosting their chances of advancing to the playoffs. The win was well-deserved: the team displayed reliable defensive play, albeit with a mistake leading to a penalty, but they converted two out of three shots on target. Notably, midfielder Nodari Lominadze stood out by confidently controlling the midfield and scoring one of the goals.
