Spain will visit Georgia knowing a win would nearly guarantee their place in the 2026 World Cup. La Roja lead Group E with 12 points, three ahead of Turkey. Georgia, in third, must win both remaining games to keep playoff hopes alive.

Team Analysis:
Georgia face a tough task in Group E, needing wins over Spain and Bulgaria and hope for Turkey to slip to reach the playoffs. They have struggled historically against Spain, losing eight of nine encounters and never qualifying for a World Cup. Meanwhile, Spain remain perfect in the group, aiming to secure 2026 World Cup qualification with another win.

Player Situation:
Georgia will be without key players Otar Kakabadze and Georges Mikautadze, but will rely on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and forwards Giorgi Kvilitaia and Budu Zivzivadze for inspiration. Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and defender Guram Kashia are also set to start, with Kashia aiming for his 127th cap. Spain will miss Lamine Yamal, Rodri, Pedri, and Nico Williams, but Ferran Torres leads a strong squad alongside Mikel Merino, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Oyarzabal, and Alex Baena.

Result Prediction:
Georgia could make things challenging for Spain, especially with star player Yamal missing. Despite this, La Roja boast a strong, talented squad. They are expected to secure all three points in their penultimate Group E match.

Predicted Result: Georgia 0-2 Spain.
