Croatia vs. Georgia – Prediction (Friendly – 19.11.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Unbeaten in their last five international fixtures (W3, D2), Croatia’s 3-1 comeback victory versus Slovakia saw the ‘Blazers’ book their place in Euro 2020 and top their group. Since Zlatko Dalic took charge in October 2017, Croatia are undefeated in 22 of their 29 matches: W17, D5, L7, with an average of 1.9 goals scored per game. Bruno Petković (CRO) has five goals in his last nine games for club and country, with four of those first-half strikes. Croatia have scored three or more goals in each of their last three victories and have also netted at least two goals in six of their last seven home fixtures (W6, L1). Of those seven home fixtures, six saw both sides score.

Georgia are goalless in three of their last four European fixtures (W1, D2, L1). Six of Croatia’s last 12 games have ended 2-1 either way. Sixty percent of Georgia’s wins since the beginning of 2018 have featured over 2.5 goals, including each of their last five in-a-row.

After four internationals without defeat (W1, D4), Georgia conceded in the 77th last time out to lose 1-0 away to Switzerland – still a creditable result. Notably, 100% of Georgia’s conceded goals across their last five games have arrived during the final 30 minutes. Meanwhile, Giorgi Kvilitaia (GEO) has scored four goals in his last eight away outings, all in games that featured over 3.5 goals. Vladimír Weiss is unbeaten in exactly two-thirds of his matches in charge of Georgia: W14, D12, L13. Of the 19 matches played since the start of 2018, 14 have seen just one side, or neither side score.
