Spain vs Georgia EURO 2024 round of 16 preview: Where to watch, kick-off time, possible line-ups

On paper, this may seem like a skewed contest. Spain, after all, have not been dubbed the favourites for nothing. The only team to win all three group games – including victory against holders Italy – they are also yet to concede a single goal, not to mention their convincing triumphs against Georgia in qualifying. Luis de la Fuente's side prevailed 7-1 in Tbilisi, where Álvaro Morata hit a hat-trick and Lamine Yamal scored on his debut, before adding a 3-1 home success.

"There are no easy opponents at a EURO, but we'll do our best to perform as well as we can," said Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who struck for Georgia in that second game. "We'll be there to fight and win." The three-time European champions would do well to heed his words. Willy Sagnol's debutants have caused a sensation in Germany, not least by beating Portugal 2-0 to progress. They also boast the group stage top scorer in Georges Mikautadze and, swept along by the fervour of their fans, they do not want their adventure to end
