Albania vs Georgia Match Analysis & Prediction
10/09/2024 9:45 pm
Albania will welcome Georgia to the Air Albania Stadium in each side’s second UEFA Nations League B match on Tuesday night.
The hosts are in second position in Group 1 with three points after they won 2-1 over Ukraine on September 7, while the visitors are first with three points after they beat the Czech Republic 4-1 on the same date.
Albania had to come from behind to secure all three points against Ukraine after Yukhym Konoplia opened the scoring in the 49th minute, before goals from Ardian Ismajli in the 54th minute and Jasir Asani in the 66th minute completed a comeback.
In their most recent Nations League tournament in 2022-23, Albania finished third with two points in a four-team group that also featured Israel, Russia and Iceland, and they have failed to win their last four matches in the competition.
Sylvinho’s side have posted three victories in their last 10 matches, suffering four defeats and securing three draws.
Meanwhile, Georgia come into the contest having beaten the Czech Republic 4-1, with three of their goals coming between the 53rd and 66th minutes.
The result means that manager Willy Sagnol, who has been in charge since February 2021, has won twice, drawn once and lost twice in his last five matches.
Georgia’s record in the Nations League is impressive, with the team having posted six wins in their last seven matches in the tournament.
Sagnol’s side have been poor on the road for some time considering that they have lost six of their last eight matches away from home, a record that stretches back to November 2022.
Albania vs. Georgia Head to head
In the previous 14 meetings between these two teams, Albania have claimed three victories while Georgia have won seven, and they have drawn in four. Georgia have scored 21 goals and conceded 12 in the process.

Georgia Team News
Liverpool-bound Giorgi Mamardashvili will start in goal for Georgia and could be shielded by centre-backs Giorgi Gvelesiani, Guram Kashia and Lasha Dvali.
The visitors will no doubt look to pair Georges Mikautadze with talisman Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, especially considering that both scored against the Czech Republic.
