Georgia vs Hungary Prediction - Nov 14, 2026

Georgia vs Hungary Prediction: A Tight Tbilisi Test

Our Georgia vs Hungary Prediction points towards a patient, low-scoring match in Tbilisi on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Kickoff is scheduled for 17:00 GMT, with Hungary entering as narrow favourites but Georgia carrying enough attacking talent to make this far from comfortable.

A new chapter for Georgia

Georgia arrive at this UEFA Nations League B Group 2 fixture during a period of major change. Willy Sagnol reportedly left his role in late September after a surprising 1-0 home defeat to Northern Ireland in the opening group match. His departure came despite guiding Georgia to the last 16 of Euro 2024, one of the biggest achievements in the country’s football history.

Former Georgia Under-21 coach Ramaz Svanadze has taken over, with a contract running until the end of 2028. His immediate task is to restore confidence without removing the adventurous style that made Georgia so entertaining under Sagnol. That balance may take time, especially against a tactically organised opponent like Hungary.

Svanadze named a 26-player squad on November 5. The main attractions are familiar: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia offers speed and imagination from wide areas, while Giorgi Mikautadze provides movement through the middle. Behind them, Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili gives Georgia an important last line of defence.

The coach has also introduced some new blood. Goalkeeper Nodar Kalichava, defender Giorgi Maisuradze and midfielder Giorgi Moistsrapishvili received their first senior call-ups. It is a bold move, although this match may be more about gradually introducing them than placing immediate pressure on debutants.

Hungary bring stability, but one major fitness concern

While Georgia are adjusting to a new manager, Hungary continue under Marco Rossi. The Italian has built a side that is usually compact, disciplined and difficult to pull apart. Hungary are comfortable defending without long periods of possession, but they can also move forward quickly through their wing-backs and attacking midfielders.
