Georgia vs Luxembourg Betting Tips: Under 2.5

Despite a disappointing UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign where Georgia only secured eight points, they still have a chance to qualify for the summer tournament in Germany. This is due to their exceptional performance in last year’s UEFA Nations League, where they finished at the top of Group C4 with an unbeaten record, including five wins and one draw.

On the cusp of securing a place in the Euro 2020 finals, the Crusaders surprisingly lost their opportunity as they fell to Goran Pandev’s Macedonia in the playoff finals. However, this time, with a strengthened lineup and the home ground advantage, they are confident that they have a strong shot at Euro 2024.

The Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi is expected to be filled to capacity at such a moment, giving their players immense support. These players can gain motivation from their recent home performances, with just one loss in their last 10 matches across all categories and six victories during that period.

Georgia is vying for a spot in the playoff finals, up against a battle-hardened Luxembourg, who have shown significant improvement in recent years. Their growth is exemplified by their performance in the EURO qualifiers, where they secured an impressive 17 points, landing them in third place. They trailed just behind Slovakia in second and the dominant group leaders, Portugal.

The recent football journey of Die Roten Lowen has been notably successful, as evidenced by their victory in half of their ten Group J qualifying matches. This is a significant increase, as it surpasses the number of wins they secured in the last six European Championship qualifying campaigns combined, indicating a positive trajectory for the team.

Despite being the away team in Thursday’s crucial match, Luc Holtz’s tenacious squad won’t be discouraged in their pursuit of the desired result. This is especially considering that, apart from suffering a nine-goal defeat against Portugal, they remained undefeated in their other four EURO qualifying away games, securing three shutouts during this period.

The most recent meeting between these national sides offers optimism for Luxembourg, who claimed a slender 1-0 triumph in a friendly played six years back in 2018. Considering that neither side will want to expose themselves to risk and will be firmly focused on defense, another tense and low-action contest between them could be on the cards.
