Match Preview

Successive qualification wins over Austria and Moldova last month catapulted Wales into the second spot in World Cup Qual. UEFA Group D ahead of Ireland. Those results meant it was just one loss in twelve overall games for the away nation featured in today’s Georgia vs Wales preview. The Dragons only defeat on that run was in the European Championship semi-final last summer, where they lost out 2-0 to eventual tournament winners Portugal.

As always, their talisman has been Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale and although the winger has netted just four times in Group D, his general performances have dragged the Welsh to gain points where none looked likely. Unfortunately for Chris Coleman, Bale is unavailable for Friday’s match through injury and his absence is sure to be heavily felt.

The home team are yet to win a Group D game heading into our free OddsDigger Georgia vs Wales betting tips. Zero victories in eight is a record Kakhaber Tskhadadze will want to improve, but on the flip side, his side have lost just three times. The Georgians have taken points from three of the four sides above them in the table, including a point against the Welsh when the teams met last year in Cardiff. Their ability to be sticky opponents for the better opposition is something worth considering when evaluating the football betting odds for Friday’s duel below.

Georgia vs Wales Prediction and Betting Advice

The Georgians are in the midst of their longest unbeaten run since 2010. It’s now five games without defeat for Tskhadadze coming into today’s Georgia vs Wales bets selection. Georgia have been labelled the draw specialists of Group D having taken a point from five of their eight matches – their last three qualifying fixtures have all ended 1-1. Chris Coleman has watched his side draw five of their eight matches too, mirroring their opponent’s inability to convert one point to three more often than not.

With Ireland visiting Cardiff for the last Group match next week, Friday’s encounter in Tbilisi isn’t exactly a must win – but it most certainly is a must not lose game. With Bale missing, the Welsh might find it tough to grind out a win this week, so I’m backing a repeat of last year’s Cardiff result between our examined pair this time around. Betfred have you sorted for price in the outright market sections.

The final pick from today’s Georgia vs Wales predictions and football predictions concerns the goal markets and the statistical evidence suggests that each country will have success in front of goal on Friday. It might surprise you to learn that the winless Georgians have actually scored in nine of their last ten fixtures. In Tbilisi, they have found the net for ten successive games. Coleman’s Dragons have scored in seven of their last eight and twelve of their last fourteen in total.

Defensively, the home side look worryingly open – they are yet to stop the opposition scoring in a Group D game, while Wales have kept just three clean sheets in ten on the road. The numbers tell us that both teams are likely to score on Friday and you can get terrific odds at StanJames for that to happen. They emerged as the number one bookie around for our latest pick.
