This UEFA Nations League fixture brings Northern Ireland up against Georgia in a continental competition game where both sides need points to shore up their situation in the tournament. Northern Ireland come into this game with the better form in this competition, having beaten Georgia 1-0 last September, followed by a 0-0 draw and closing with a 3-0 win in their latest match. Georgia, meanwhile, have yet to find their rhythm in this competition, losing 0-1 in their last two matches, with their attack still yet to produce a goal. This game is likely to see Northern Ireland as the side that has to open up and attack, because they need the three points at home, while Georgia are likely to sit in a compact block and wait for chances to counter through the pace of their attack. If Northern Ireland start quickly and break through the defence early, the game will flow the home side's way, but if Georgia can hold out for long spells, it could become a game that hinges on a single moment.
