Head-to-head statistics Italy - Georgia
Italy Team Overview
Italy enter the qualifying campaign under the guidance of Salvo Samperi. At Euro 2026, the team failed to progress beyond the group stage. The Italians thrashed Poland 4-0, drew 2-2 with Hungary, but suffered a heavy 0-4 defeat to Spain. As a result, they finished the tournament with four points and exited at the group stage. Now, Italy will be looking to make a strong start to their World Cup qualification bid, aiming to capitalise on home advantage.

Georgia Team Overview
Georgia opened their qualifying campaign with a 3-2 home defeat to Kosovo. Despite holding a 2-0 lead at halftime, Georgia conceded three unanswered goals after the break. Their struggles continued at Euro 2026, where they managed just one point from three matches. The team suffered heavy losses to Latvia (0-4) and France (1-3), while their only draw came in a 2-2 clash against Croatia. As a result, Georgia are now winless in their last five official fixtures.

⭐️ Editorial Prediction
We recommend backing Italy to win. The hosts boast greater international pedigree and a more balanced squad. Georgia have lost four of their last five competitive fixtures, conceding at least three goals in each defeat. Historically, Italy have dominated this head-to-head, including a resounding 10-1 victory back in 2009. With home advantage and Georgia’s defensive frailties, Italy look set for a strong start to their qualifying campaign.
