THE PREDICTION

Georgia have been the surprise package of the 2023 UEFA Under-21 European Championships. Without key man, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgians were expected to lose all three group stage matches against Belgium, the Netherlands and Portugal. Georgia, who probably wouldn’t have qualified if they weren’t co-hosts, come into this with a clear path into the semi-final. They face an Israeli side that finished second, above both Germany and Czechia, in Group C, but they did benefit from both of these sides being quite weak. Given Georgia’s impressive form and home advantage, another surprise win to move into the semis seems likely.

BETTING TIP: GEORGIA TO WIN
