Georgia were disappointed to throw away the lead as they conceded in the 89th and 102nd minutes of their 3-2 loss to France, seeing them drop to third place in the group. The Crusaders needed a last-minute winner to get all three points against Poland in the opening round of the tournament, and must win on Tuesday if they are to advance to the knockout stages.

Portugal U21 were held to a stalemate in their goalless draw against France in the opening round before picking up a thorough 5-0 victory over Poland on Saturday to go top of the group. La Esperanças came into the tournament as one of the favorites to qualify for the latter stages and only need one point from Tuesday's outing to move into the quarterfinals.

Georgia U21 vs Portugal U21 Prediction

Georgia are the underdogs going into Tuesday's game due to their significantly weaker quality, but have managed in the past to triumph against the odds and will hope to repeat such a performance.

La Esperanças are on a run of back-to-back unbeaten outings after losing their previous two games. They should comfortably pick up the necessary point this week and will only need to avoid complacency to get even more.
