Perhaps the greatest upset in the history of major tournaments could unfold tonight when Georgia take on Spain at Euro 2024.

Already, Willy Sagnol’s team have created what is statistically the biggest upset in Euros history, according to FIFA ranking, by defeating Portugal to qualify for the knockouts.

While beating a much-changed Portuguese team which had already topped their group was mightily impressive, repeating the trick against a Spanish side boasting a 100 per cent record in a last-16 tie would be something else.

La Roja were not fancied among the top two or three favourites heading to Germany but they won every game in a tough Group B without conceding a goal.

Now they must hold their nerve against the rampant Georgians to book a quarter-final tie against the hosts.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Spain vs Georgia is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off on Sunday June 30, 2024.

The match will take place at Cologne Stadium.

Nacho Fernandez and Ayoze Perez are battling to be fit after injury absences.

Spain vs Georgia prediction

It would be a truly monumental occasion if Georgia can take this game to extra-time, let alone win it. But Spain are looking seriously good and should have enough to reach the last eight in comfortable enough fashion.

Spain to win, 2-0.
