Euro 2024: Geogria Vs Portugal, Akhir Apes Si Debutan
JAKARTA Georgia will play their final Group F Euro 2024 match against Portugal. This will be a very tough test for the Euro debutant team.
The final match of Group F will take place at Veltins-Arena, Gelsenkirchen, Germany, on Thursday, June 27, 2024, at 02.00 WIB. Whatever the result of this duel will not affect Portugal's position at the top of the group standings.
Georgia is currently still at the bottom of the standings with one point as a result of the 1-1 draw against the Republic of Ceska and losing 1-3 to Turkey.
The place made their chances of going to the knockout stages a bit difficult. Exceptions if they were able to seal the win over Selecao and Quinas.

If you secure the three points, Willy Sagnol's team can at least finish as one of the four best third-placed teams entitled to qualify for the knockout stages.
On the other hand, Portugal played this match with the target of continuing their positive trend. Victory made them the second team to qualify for the knockout phase without feeling defeat following in the footsteps of Spain.
The previous two wins had locked the position of Roberto Martinez's team at the top of the group standings. So, either losing or drawing, their place in number one will not be shifted.
The match against Georgia will be Cristiano Ronaldo's 50th appearance. The former Real Madrid star is likely given a starting opportunity.
Ronaldo and his friends seem to be easily securing the three points of this match. In one previous clash against Georgia in a test match in 2008, Selecao came out victorious.
Portugal have played this game 15 times and have only lost twice to their 17 international matches since being knocked out of the 2022 World Cup quarter-finals against Morocco.
