Form & Streaks

Georgia has been inconsistent at home, with a record of 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses in their last 10 matches across all competitions at this venue.

Romania has struggled on the road, with 4 losses and 1 draw in their last 5 away matches across all competitions.

Across all competitions, Georgia has conceded 18 goals in their last 10 matches, averaging 1.8 goals against per game.

Romania has won 4 of their last 10 matches across all competitions, demonstrating a slightly better win rate than their opponents.

Tactical Overview

This friendly takes on added weight for Romania as it marks Gheorghe Hagi's debut, aiming to build momentum after failing to qualify for the World Cup. However, his stated intent to experiment, coupled with a staggering list of absences including Dennis Man, Andrei Rațiu, Ionuț Radu, Nicușor Bancu, and Daniel Bîrligea, severely handicaps their potential. On a recent-form basis, Romania has been trending at a much healthier 1.16 xG created per game compared to Georgia's mere 0.43, suggesting better attacking intent. Yet, Georgia, despite their own injuries to Georges Mikautadze, Zuriko Davitashvili, and Iva Gelashvili, will be at home and are looking to prepare for the Nations League. They've shown resilience at home, with a 4W, 3D, 3L record in their last 10, scoring 20 goals. The buzz around Khvicha Kvaratskhelia not starting is a blow, but Budu Zivzivadze and Giorgi Mamardashvili will be key. Romania's away form in their last 10 (4L, 1D in 5) has been poor, conceding 10 goals.
