    Spain battles Georgia in the Round of 16 of Euro 2024 from Cologne Stadium in Koln, Germany Sunday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Spain vs. Georgia odds, and make our best Euro 2024 bets, picks and predictions.

    Spain is among the favorites to win the tournament at +440 — only behind England (+320) and Germany (+390). Spain started its Euro action off with a bang, throttling Croatia 3-0. It beat Italy 1-0 and Albania 1-0 to round out its group stage play. It was the only team in the event to win all 3 group stage matches. Spain, which is No. 8 in the FIFA World Rankings, is led by an ultra-talented midfield of Rodri, Pedri, and Fabián Ruiz. Spain went 2-1-1 in 4 friendlies prior to Euro 2024.

    Georgia finished 3rd in Group F, which was won by Portugal. In its 3 stage matches, Georgia scored 4 goals and gave up 4 goals while posting a 1-1-1 record. It beat Portugal 2-0, drew Czechia 1-1 and lost to Turkey 3-1. F Georges Mikautadze, who plays for Metz, scored in each of Georgia’s last 2 matches.

    Spain vs. Georgia picks and predictions

    Prediction

    Spain 2, Georgia 0

    Moneyline (ML)

    PASS.

    While there are teams like England which might struggle in the Round of 16 despite being a strong favorite, Spain (-1500) isn’t likely to be one of them. It dominated Croatia and beat both Italy and Albania in the group stage. That type of consistency is impressive.

    Spain beat Georgia 3-1 in the final matchday of the Euro qualifiers in November, and ended with 76% of the possession in that match. It has the technical excellence to win and should do so with ease. However, at these odds, it isn’t worth any play.

    Over/Under (O/U)

    BET UNDER 2.5 (+128).

    Spain’s defense is among the best in the world, and it has played like it recently. Spain hasn’t allowed a goal in its last 270 minutes. Spain only allowed 1 goal in its last 5 matches. Along its defensive line is 32-year-old Real Madrid D Dani Carvajal, who has played at a high level. Spain has gone Under this total in 2 straight matches and in 3 of its last 6.

    Georgia, which had just 1 shot on frame against Spain in the November match, went Under this total in 2 of its 3 group stage games. It went Under this total in 4 of its last 6 games and has allowed just 1 goal in its last 180 minutes (2 matches).

    Considering the success both sides had defensively, BACK UNDER 2.5 (+128).
