Georgia at risk of going winless: prediction for Georgia vs Hungary
The fifth-round UEFA Nations League match between Georgia and Hungary will take place on 14 November 2026 at Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi. The hosts sit bottom of League B Group 2 with two points, while Hungary are second on seven. The visitors are just one point behind leaders Northern Ireland, making victory crucial in the race for promotion.
Georgia: lack of goals and an injury to a key player complicate matters
Georgia have endured a disappointing Nations League campaign under Ramaz Svanadze. They lost to Northern Ireland (0-1) and Hungary (0-1), and twice played out 0-0 draws — against Ukraine and Northern Ireland. The Crusaders have failed to score in four rounds, the main reason they sit bottom of the group.
Squad problems have only worsened ahead of the home fixture. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is out with an injury, while Giorgi Kochorashvili will miss the match through suspension. Georges Mikautadze, who has scored 23 goals in 47 appearances for his country, will shoulder most of the attacking responsibility. Giorgi Chakvetadze is expected to support him.
Hungary: back-to-back wins put the team back in the race for top spot
Hungary have managed to bounce back from a poor start to the group stage. Marco Rossi's side first lost to Ukraine (0-1) and drew with Northern Ireland (0-0), but then beat Georgia (1-0) and got their revenge on the Ukrainians (2-1). Six points from their last two rounds lifted the team into second place.
Hungary have shown impressive consistency, losing just once in their previous eight matches across all competitions. The return of Milos Kerkez from suspension will be a major boost. Dominik Szoboszlai is set to play a key role in midfield, while Barnabás Varga and Roland Sallai are expected to feature up front.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Georgia have failed to score in any of their four matches in this Nations League campaign
- Hungary have won back-to-back matches and lost just once in their last eight games across all competitions
- The previous head-to-head ended in a 1-0 win for Hungary
Visitors can take advantage of their opponents' problems: prediction for Georgia vs Hungary
Georgia are struggling badly in attack, and Kvaratskhelia's absence significantly weakens their options going forward. Hungary, by contrast, are in good form and have extra motivation as they chase top spot.
Rossi's side look more balanced and have already beaten Georgia in this tournament. Given the hosts' struggles in front of goal and their personnel losses, the visitors have a good chance of securing a convincing win.
