Spain have won six of their seven matches against Georgia in all competitions, all of which have been since 2012. They met in qualifying for EURO 2024, with Spain winning both games by an aggregate score of 10-2 (7-1 away, 3-1 home) – indeed, their 7-1 win away at Georgia remains the only time ever Georgia have conceded seven goals in an international fixture.

Georgia’s one win in seven meetings against Spain came in a June 2016 friendly at the Estadio Coliseum in Getafe, with Tornike Okriashvili scoring the winner in a 1-0 victory for the Georgians.

Spain have been eliminated in the round of 16 in three of their previous major tournament appearances (World Cup/EUROs), losing on penalties at the World Cup in both 2022 (v Morocco) and 2018 (v Russia), and at EURO 2016 versus Italy (0-2 defeat).

Georgia are into the knockout stages in what is their first ever international tournament. Since the quarter-final phase was introduced at EURO 1996, only three nations have ever reached that stage in their first UEFA EURO – Croatia in 1996 and both Wales and Iceland at EURO 2016.

Spain have kept a clean sheet in all three of their games at UEFA EURO 2024 so far, while the last time they kept four consecutive clean sheets at the same major tournament (World Cup/EUROs) was in 2012 (a run of five) – the last time they won this competition.
