Georgia vs Armenia Prediction 23 March 2025
🔊 Is everything decided in the two-legged clash between Georgia and Armenia? On March 20, Willy Sagnol's squad secured a commanding 3-0 victory away, virtually ensuring their place in the second division of the Nations League. The Georgians now just need to finish the job. We recommend checking out our prediction before placing a bet on the match at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena.
Head-to-Head
The match on March 20 marked the first encounter between the national teams in five years. Since then, both squads have undergone significant changes in terms of roster and playing style. Back in November 2020, even with the support of their home fans, Georgia failed to secure a draw (1-2). However, in their recent clash, they dominated away from home, registering a staggering xG of 1.72 to Armenia's 0.27 and creating three clear goal-scoring opportunities, resulting in a commanding 3-0 victory.
Head-to-head statistics Georgia - Armenia
Georgia Team Overview
Georgia continue to improve with each match. A few years ago, victories were a rare treat for their fans, but now they consistently challenge formidable opponents. The fact that Willy Sagnol's side managed to thrash Armenia is hardly a major surprise. Despite playing away and missing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia due to yellow card accumulation, the Georgians were still considered favorites. Overall, the result reflected their performance. The team created three scoring opportunities and converted all of them. In the upcoming clash, Georgia will have the backing of their home crowd, and they must do everything to deny their opponents any chance of getting back into the game. As for the match itself, all players named in the squad are available to take the field.

Armenia Team Overview
Armenia approach the upcoming clash in a dismal mood. The international retirement of Henrikh Mkhitaryan marked a turning point for the national team, which has since struggled to deliver respectable performances. The team has been losing even to weaker opponents, and matches against similarly ranked teams often end in failure. John van 't Schip, who was appointed as Armenia's head coach at the end of February, likely didn't expect his debut match to result in a heavy defeat. For the return fixture, the coaching staff will be unable to count on Hovhannes Hambardzumyan, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

⚽️ Goal Prediction
As previously noted, Armenia have been far from impressive in recent years. The team not only struggles to secure positive results, but also rarely finds the back of the net. They failed to score in 3 of their last 4 matches. In their home game against Georgia, John van 't Schip's men barely threatened Giorgi Mamardashvili's goal - managing just 8 shots, creating no clear chances, and generating only 0.27 xG. Considering the upcoming clash will take place in Tbilisi, our betting option is both teams to score (no).
🚩 Corner Prediction
If trophies were awarded based on corner kicks, Armenia would have been world champions by now. Despite not playing the most attacking football, they frequently find themselves at the corner flag. Over the last 7 matches, the team averaged 7.6 corners per game. Even in their first encounter against Georgia (0-3), John van 't Schip's side managed to take 7 corners. In this scenario, we recommend considering the option of Armenia total corners over 3.5.
Editorial Prediction
Bookmakers are confident that Georgia will comfortably defeat their opponent once again in the return match, and we share that sentiment. The vast difference in quality between these teams was evident in the first match (0-3), which took place in Yerevan. Armenia's defensive performance was so poor that Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili managed to register an assist. And this was without Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the field, who is considered one of the world's best dribblers and can take on almost any defender one-on-one. In such a scenario, it's wise not to overthink and bet on a Georgia victory. We anticipate the hosts will win 2-0.
