Georgia team news vs Portugal today

17:04 , Jonathan Gorrie

As for Georgia, a shock victory here would almost certainly earn them a place in the knockout stages in their first ever appearance at a major tournament.

Georges Mikautadze has scored in both matches so far and will again lead the front, alongside Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Watford’s Giorgi Chakvetadze had to settle for a cameo off the bench last time out, as Zuriko Davitashvili was preferred, but the attacking midfielder did start the opening match and could return to the side here.

There are otherwise not expected to be many changes, even if Giorgi Gvelesiani, Guram Kashia, Giorgi Kochorashvili, Solomon Kverkvelia and Anzor Mekvabishvili are all facing a suspension if they are booked and Georgia progress.

Joao Palhinha and Francisco Conceicao are both a booking away from their own one-game suspension, which could factor into their thinking.
