Georgia vs Portugal Betting Odds

The stage is set for a fascinating final Group F encounter as tournament debutants Georgia take on a Portugal side already assured of top spot. While the odds are stacked heavily in Portugal's favour, Georgia still harbour hopes of a shock result that could propel them into the knockout stages.

For Georgia, this match represents the culmination of their fairytale journey to a first major tournament. Despite two spirited performances, Willy Sagnol's men find themselves with just one point to show for their efforts. However, a win against the mighty Portuguese could see them sneak through as one of the best third-placed teams.

Georgia's talismanic winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia believes his side hold a psychological edge heading into the clash. "We are more motivated than Portugal because they are already through," said the Napoli star. "This is our chance to make history."

Portugal, meanwhile, have been in imperious form, sweeping aside Turkey 3-0 to secure qualification with a game to spare. Manager Roberto Martinez has confirmed that talisman Cristiano Ronaldo will start once again as he chases yet more records. At 39, Ronaldo could become the oldest ever goalscorer at a European Championship.

While Martinez may rotate other areas of his team, he's keen to maintain Portugal's winning momentum. "It's important to keep competitive levels high," he explained. "Starting and stopping isn't good for players."

The gulf in pedigree between the sides is stark - Portugal sit 68 places above Georgia in the FIFA rankings. Yet football has a habit of producing unlikely heroes, and Georgia will be dreaming of emulating Greece's famous upset of Portugal at Euro 2004.

For neutral observers, this match offers an intriguing clash of styles. Portugal's slick, attacking football has yielded six goals already this tournament. Georgia, meanwhile, have relied on grit and determination, with goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili making more saves (16) than any other keeper so far.

While Portugal are overwhelming favourites, Georgia's never-say-die attitude means this clash could yet produce fireworks. Will we see a famous upset or a Portuguese masterclass? All will be revealed when the whistle blows in Gelsenkirchen.

Georgia 0 - 2 Portugal. We simply think Portugal will have too much quality for Georgia. Although we don't think it will be easy for Portugal, we are going for a Portugal win.
