Georgia - Ukraine

Georgia and Ukraine face off on 28 September 2026 at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, with both sides looking to impose their tactical identity in this UEFA Nations League B Group 2 fixture. Georgia, led by the creative pairing of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze, will aim to sharpen their attacking edge after a narrow defeat to Northern Ireland. The expected XI for the hosts features a stable defensive unit anchored by goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, though they must navigate the absence of the injured Giorgi Gocholeishvili to find a rhythm against a disciplined visiting side.

Ukraine arrives in high spirits following a clinical 1-0 victory over Hungary in their most recent outing. With Georgiy Sudakov pulling the strings in midfield, the visitors are expected to maintain a high-intensity press despite the notable injury absence of Ruslan Malinovsky. Having edged past Georgia in their previous competitive encounters, Ukraine will look to exploit gaps in the home side’s structure, while Georgia will rely on the home crowd to fuel a more resilient performance than their last outing.
