Georgia vs Portugal: Pre-Match Facts
- This is just the second ever meeting between Georgia and Portugal – Portugal won 2-0 in a May 2008 friendly.
- Portugal have qualified for the knockout stages in all nine of their appearances at the UEFA European Championship, extending the best such 100% record in the history of the competition.
- Georgia are waiting for their first major tournament victory (D1 L1) – the only European side whose first win at a World Cup/Euro tournament came against Portugal is Greece, who beat them 2-1 at Euro 2004 en route to winning the trophy.
- Portugal have won both of their group-stage games so far at Euro 2024, more than they had across the 2016 and 2020 editions combined (W1 D4 L1). Only at Euro 2000 have they ever won all three group-stage games at a single Euro tournament.
- Across the first two matchdays of Euro 2024, Georgia faced more shots (49), more shots on target (20) and had a higher xG against figure (6.1) than any other side. However, Giorgi Mamardashvili made more saves (16) and had a higher xGOT prevented figure (+3.05) than any other goalkeeper in the first two matchdays, conceding just four goals (excl. own goals) despite facing an xGOT of 7.05.
- Portugal have benefitted from an own goal in both of their games so far at Euro 2024 – only Spain in the 2020 edition have benefitted more at a single Euro tournament (3), while no team has ever done so in three consecutive games at the finals before.
- Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo has played 49 matches across the European Championship (27) and World Cup (22) combined. He could be the first European player in history to make 50 major tournament appearances.
- Both of Georgia’s goals at the European Championship so far have been scored by Georges Mikautadze. Only Gerd Müller (Germany) and Hristo Stoichkov (Bulgaria) have netted each of a side’s first three goals in the competition.
- Bruno Fernandes has been directly involved in 28 goals in his last 23 appearances for Portugal in all competitions, scoring 15 and assisting 13.
- Across the opening two matchdays of Euro 2024, Portugal’s Vitinha won more fouls (7) than any other player. He won three fouls against Czech Republic on MD1 and four against Turkey last time out; the last player to win 3+ fouls in all three group stage games in a single edition of the finals was Poland’s Grzegorz Krychowiak in 2016 (something Georgia’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could also do in this game), while the last to do so for Portugal was LuÃs Figo in 2004.
