Roberto Martinez’s side had to dig deep to overcome the Czech Republic before claiming a comfortable 3-0 win over Turkey on Saturday.
Tournament debutants Georgia, meanwhile, have one point on the board and are still in with a shot of last-16 qualification going into their final Group F assignment with Portugal.
Georgia v Portugal Best Bets
➡️ Diogo Jota to have 1+ shot on target @ 1.62 on bet365
➡️ Nelson Semedo to commit 1+ foul @ 1.50 on Paddy Power
Roberto Martinez has revealed that he will rotate his team for Portugal’s final Group F fixture against Georgia. One player who could come into the Portugal side is Diogo Jota, who stands out for a shot on target at 1.62 on bet365. The Liverpool forward has netted 14 times in 40 appearances for his country, two of which were scored across two of Portugal’s three pre-Euro 2024 warm-up matches.
While Jota found game time hard to come by during Portugal’s perfect qualifying campaign, he was averaging 1.54 shots on target per game during the most recent Premier League season for Liverpool. Jota was used occasionally by Jurgen Klopp during the Reds’ Europa League campaign this season, yet he still managed to average 1.59 shots on target per 90 minutes.
The Portuguese forward should be presented with shooting opportunities when going up against a Georgia side that finds themselves in must-win territory. The Crusaders have conceded an eye-watering combined total of 20 shots on target in their opening two matches of Euro 2024, making the aforementioned Jota an attractive option to add to that tally at 1.62 on bet365.
Another player expected to make his first start of the tournament for Portugal on Wednesday is defender Nelson Semedo, who is 1.50 on Paddy Power to commit just one foul during this game. Like the aforementioned Diogo Jota, Semedo was used sparingly during qualifying, playing just 100 minutes in total. That’s not the case on the domestic scene for Semedo though, who was averaging 1.35 fouls per game for Wolves during the most recent Premier League season, collecting 11 yellow cards in the process. With the Portuguese right-back bound to cross paths with Georgian livewire Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a solitary Semedo foul appeals.

📊 Georgia Form and Stats
Georgia have earned plenty of plaudits for their performances across their opening two outings at Euro 2024.
The Crusaders showcased their high-octane approach in a spirited 3-1 defeat against Turkey before playing their part in a pulsating 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic. Saturday’s stalemate saw Georgia pick up their first-ever point at a major tournament. That means Willy Sagnol’s side have now avoided defeat in seven of their last nine matches, with only Turkey and Spain managing to overcome the Crusaders during that period.
After etching his name into Georgian history by scoring his country’s first-ever goal at a major international tournament against Turkey last week, Georges Mikautadze made it two goals from two appearances at Euro 2024 by notching against the Czech Republic. The Metz marksman is 4.75 to repeat the trick against Portugal this midweek.
However, it’s worth noting that Mikautadze’s penalty strike against the Czechs represented the Crusaders’ solitary shot on target. That total is in stark contrast with the Czech Republic, who peppered the Georgian goal with 27 shots, 12 of which hit the target.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was a foul magnet for Georgia throughout qualifying, earning his side an average of 2.33 fouls per 90 minutes. Having been fouled three times in both of Georgia’s opening games at Euro 2024, Kvaratskhelia continues to find himself on the receiving end of rough treatment from opposing defenders.
📊 Portugal Form and Stats
Portugal continue to go from strength to strength under Roberto Martinez’s guidance. After steering the Selecao to a 3-0 win over Turkey on Saturday, the former Belgium boss now boasts a perfect record of 12 wins from 12 in competitive matches as Portugal manager.
The Iberians have scored multiple goals in 10 of those victories, including both of their outings at Euro 2024 so far.
Portugal have racked up a combined total of 11 shots on target across their opening two games of Euro 2024, with eight of those on-target efforts coming against the Czech Republic during their opening match of the tournament.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been responsible for four of those 11 Portugal shots on target. Somewhat surprisingly, the Portuguese skipper has yet to open his account at Euro 2024, though he did unselfishly provide an assist for Bruno Fernandes against Turkey last time out. Ronaldo is 1.73 to score anytime on Wednesday night.
Portugal midfielder Vitinha put in another all-action performance against Turkey. The Paris Saint-Germain man was fouled no fewer than four times, surpassing the tally of three fouls that he earned on matchday one against the Czech Republic.
⚔️ Georgia v Portugal Head-to-Head
There is very little history between Georgia and Portugal. The two nations have crossed paths just once on the international stage, which was a friendly fixture way back in 2008. Portugal claimed a 2-0 win on that occasion and they are 1.4 favourites to emerge victorious from Wednesday night’s clash at the Veltins-Arena.
However, Georgia have come on leaps and bounds over the last decade, showing themselves to be capable and competitive against the majority of teams on the continental circuit. Willy Sagnol’s side are in must-win territory and are as big as 7.5 to triumph.
