Georgia
For the first time in its history, the Georgian national team is on the verge of qualifying for a major international football tournament. In the group stage, the team finished only fourth but earned the right to advance to Euro 2024 through playoff matches. In the semifinals, there was a match against Luxembourg. In that game, due to suspension, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia did not play, but even without him, the team managed to secure a 2-0 victory. Today, the main star of the national team may take the field, but Guram Kashia, who is suspended, will not play. Nevertheless, head coach Willy Sagnol now has opportunities to use various tactical schemes.

Greece
Greece competed in the qualifying group alongside France and the Netherlands. Predictably, the team could not surpass them and finished third. In the semifinals, under the guidance of Gustavo Poyet, the team defeated Kazakhstan 5-0 at home. In that match, everything was decided in the opening 45 minutes when the Greeks scored four goals against their opponents. It is worth noting that recently the team has significantly improved in attack: in four out of five last qualifying matches for Euro, they scored at least two goals.
