vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Georgia and Northern Ireland open their Nations League campaign with no points and no games played in this phase, so the table does not reflect anything real yet. Looking at their last six outings, Georgia have taken two wins, two draws and two defeats: the most recent game was a 2-0 home win over Bahrain; before that a 1-1 home draw against Romania, a 2-0 away win at Lithuania, a 2-2 home draw against Israel and, further back, two defeats, 1-2 away at Bulgaria and 0-4 at home against Spain. Northern Ireland arrive from a more negative run, two wins, one draw and three defeats in their last six: the most recent game was a 1-3 away defeat at France; before that a 1-0 home win over Guinea, a 1-1 away draw at Wales, a 0-2 away defeat at Italy and, further back, a 1-0 home win over Luxembourg and a 0-1 away defeat at Slovakia. There is no previous meeting between the two sides on record. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
