THE LOWDOWN
GEORGIA
Georgia were no match for Australia in their opening game of the tournament but did cross for a couple of tries and will take some confidence from that. They will also believe they can get off the mark here having defeated Portugal in their last encounter in March.
PORTUGAL
Portugal suffered a 28-8 loss to Wales in their first match of the Rugby World Cup. Despite facing a Welsh side that were under-strength, the Portuguese were still unable to really cause their opponents any problems and this could be another tough encounter.
THE PREDICTION
Georgia will fancy their chances of claiming their first win of the tournament as they take on Portugal. Little is expected of these two teams but this should at least be a competitive clash with either side able to come out on top. However, Georgia should be too good and they are fancied to come out on top having convincingly won the last game between the two.
BETTING TIP: Georgia -10
