Georgia vs Portugal Euro 2024, Group B: Georgia will face Portugal in a crucial Group F match at UEFA EURO 2024 on June 27th, at the Veltins Arena in Germany.

With Portugal having already secured their place in the Round of 16, Georgia will look to make history by advancing to the knockout stages in their first major tournament appearance.

Roberto Martinez’s Portugal have been in dominant form, securing the top spot in Group F with victories over the Czech Republic and Turkey. With their place in the knockout stages assured, Martinez is expected to rotate his squad to rest key players and give others a chance to shine.

Georgia, the lowest-ranked team in Euro 2024, secured their first-ever Euro point with a draw against the Czech Republic over the weekend. However, they will have to pull off one of the biggest upsets next if they want to make it to the round of 16.
