The World Cup Qualifiers are back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Georgia lock horns with Luis de la Fuente's Spain side in an important clash at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes over the past year and will want to win this game.

Georgia are currently in second place in Group E of the World Cup qualification standings and have been fairly impressive in recent months. The away side eased past Bulgaria by a comfortable 3-0 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Spain, on the other hand, are at the top of their group in the qualification table and have been in excellent form this year. La Furia Roja thrashed Turkiye by a comprehensive 6-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar scoreline this weekend.
