Georgia vs Portugal Betting Tips: BTTS
It's fair to say that Georgia's national team, making their debut at the EURO in their history, hasn't disgraced themselves despite picking up a solitary point from their opening two matches in their group and are on the brink of elimination from the tournament.
The Crusaders' debut outing wasn't one to remember, as they were bested by the more experienced Turkish side in an extremely tense contest (1-3), before earning their first-ever point at a major tournament in hard-fought 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic.
Despite still being in contention for progress to the knockout stage of Euro 2024, Willy Sagnol's men will need to conjure up something extraordinary on the field to snatch maximum points against one of the tournament favorites, Portugal—a task easier said than done.
While toppling CR7 and co will be difficult, a Mikautadze-inspired Georgia will harbor optimism about breaching the rearguard of the European giants, having rattled the net in all but one of their previous 11 international outings.
On the flip side, Portugal have booked their spot in the knockout stage of the continental gathering for the 8th consecutive time, as they asserted their strength and authority to advance as group winners with a game to spare and will aim to maintain their 100% record in Gelsenkirchen.
While they may have started Euro with a lackluster and unimpressive showing, clawing back from a deficit to secure a hard-fought 2-1 win over the cunning Czech Republic, Selecao revealed their championship pedigree by breezing past Turkey 3-0 in the matchday two of Group F.
Even with a last-16 spot confirmed, Roberto Martinez's side refuses to let their spirits dampen ahead of what lies ahead, instead leveraging their dazzling free-scoring form — netting 2+ goals in 10 of their last 12 internationals — to complete their section assignments in style.
With Portugal expected to secure another victory reaffirming their status as hot favorites for Euro glory, we anticipate goals flowing in both nets, given that both nations boast tremendous attacking firepower to ignite a thrilling evening in Gelsenkirchen. The Crusaders have breached the Spanish defense twice in qualifiers and should be able to put another heavyweight ball into the net.

Georgia team news
Georgia coach Willy Sagnol should keep the same eleven he selected against the Czech Republic in matchday two, having faith in his side that they can cause a major upset on the final day of the group stage.
Georges Mikautadze, the Metz striker who is set to attract interest from several European clubs this summer, continues to shine on the Euro stage and will aim to make his mark once again after finding the net against Turkey and Czech Republic earlier.

Portugal team news
AC Milan winger Rafael Leao will sit out the concluding Group F match after receiving yellow cards in both opening games of this summer's major tournament, making him eligible only for the knockout phase starting on June 29.
With both Joao Palhinha and Francisco Conceicao at risk of missing the last-16 round if they receive a yellow card against Georgia, it's highly likely that manager Roberto Martinez will opt to rest both players.
