Spain vs Georgia: Goals Galore on the Cards Again
Spain vs Georgia Match Preview
Spain are flying at the start of their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, and it’s hard to see them slowing down anytime soon. They’ve smashed Bulgaria 3-0 and then completely destroyed Turkey 6-0, sending a strong message to the rest of Group E.
Georgia have been scoring freely too — 14 goals in their last four competitive games — but this one’s a massive step up in class. They started with a 3-0 win over Bulgaria but then slipped to a 3-2 loss at home to Turkey. Now, they’re heading to Elche to face a Spanish side that’s been their worst nightmare in recent years.
Form Guide
Spain: WWWWW – Dominant, confident, and ruthless. Their attack looks unstoppable.
Georgia: WLWWW – Plenty of goals, but defensive issues remain a big concern.
Spain has scored nine goals in two qualifiers, while Georgia’s backline has leaked five in their last two against strong opponents.
Head-to-Head Record
The recent history between these two sides doesn’t make pleasant reading for Georgia. Spain has beaten them in their last three meetings, racking up a 14-3 combined scoreline. Across the last four games between them, we’ve seen 21 goals total, with at least four goals in every single one. So, if you like action, this is your kind of matchup.
Team News
Spain might miss young stars Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal through injury, but coach Luis de la Fuente isn’t short on firepower. Ferran Torres, Mikel Oyarzabal, and Yeremy Pino are all ready to step up, while Mikel Merino, fresh off a hat-trick against Turkey, adds a scoring threat from midfield.
Georgia’s attacking duo of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Georges Mikautadze can cause problems for anyone, but they’ll need to work overtime to get past Spain’s disciplined setup.
Prediction
Spain are just too strong right now. They’ve been ruthless at home and have too many attacking options to be stopped. Georgia will probably find a goal — they always seem to against Spain — but keeping them out at the other end is another story.
Prediction: Spain 4-1 Georgia
Players to Watch
Mikel Merino (Spain): Full of confidence after his hat-trick. Expect him to push forward from midfield again.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Georgia): The Napoli winger is electric — if anyone can unlock Spain’s defense, it’s him.
