As we head into the final group matches of Euro 2024, Portugal have already comfortably qualified from Group F as winners, having won their first two matches.

The other teams in the group - Georgia, Turkiye and Czechia - will battle for second and third place in the standings to earn qualification to the knockout stage.

Georgia vs Portugal takes place at the Arena AufSchalke in Gelsenkirchen.

Georgia current form

Georgia haven't won a match so far as they lost their opening game 3-1 against Turkey before earning a 1-1 draw against Czechia.

They need to defeat Portugal in order to move on to four points and qualify for the knockout stage.

Portugal current form

Portugal have a 100% record heading into the final game.

In the opener, they were unconvincing against Czechia, as they had to rely on a 92nd minute winner from Francisco Conceicao to claim all three points - and their other goal in that game was an own-goal from Robin Hranac.

They looked much better against an open Turkiye side a few days ago, eventually winning 3-0 thanks to goals from Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and a comical own-goal from Samet Akayadin.

Cristiano Ronaldo is yet to find the back of the net, though his assist for Fernandes made him the outright top assist-maker in the history of the competition.

Georgia vs Portugal Team News

After the point gained against Czechia, it is unlikely many if any changes will be made to the starting XI for Georgia. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia hasn't found top form yet, but his nation will be hoping for a moment or two of magic from the Napoli winger.

With qualification secured, it is likely Robert Martinez will make changes to his starting line-up for this one.

A definite absentee is Rafael Leao who is suspended after collecting yellow cards in consecutive games.

It has already been confirmed that Ronaldo will start, so Goncalo Ramos will have to wait for his opportunity again. Pedro Neto may be selected to replace Leao, while Vitinha may replace Joao Palhinha due to concerns over suspension for the Fulham man.

Scoreline Prediction

Even if Martinez makes a few changes, Portugal will fancy themselves to win her,e and win well, while Ronaldo will be desperate to get off the mark in the tournament.

Georgia 0-3 Portugal
