Georgia have been a touch tidier across their own seven matches, winning three, drawing three and losing just once, with nine goals scored and only five let in.

Georgia's recent numbers look the steadier of the two, at least on paper.

Comparative Team Statistics: Northern Ireland vs Georgia

They've Already Faced Each Other This Campaign

These two met just over a week before this fixture, with Georgia hosting Northern Ireland in the same Nations League group. Northern Ireland won that one 1-0 away from home.

It's the only meeting we've got on record between them, so it's a small sample. It does show Northern Ireland can get a result against Georgia, though.

That head-to-head win isn't a guarantee of a repeat result now the venue has flipped.

Who's Been Making the Difference

S. Charles has been Northern Ireland's most productive creative player lately, chipping in three assists across six appearances. For Georgia, G. Chakvetadze leads their assist numbers with two in eight games.

Georgia's L. Dvali and G. Kashia have both picked up three yellow cards apiece in seven matches. Worth keeping an eye on, since repeated bookings can start to affect a team's shape over a busy run of games.

How This One Could Play Out

Northern Ireland will take some confidence from beating Georgia just days ago, even if their own recent form has been patchy at the back. Georgia, meanwhile, have been the tidier side lately and will fancy levelling the head-to-head score away from home.

With both teams showing they can score goals and concede them, this has the look of a contest where a clean sheet won't come easily for either side.
