Svanadze Takes Charge in Tbilisi After Sagnol Exit
Georgia and Ukraine meet tonight in League B Group 2 of the UEFA Nations League, and for Nepali fans it is an easy evening kick-off at 9:45 PM. The hosts have a new man in the dugout. Willy Sagnol left after a painful opening defeat, and the former under-21 coach Ramaz Svanadze will take charge of the senior team for the first time.
Georgia lost 1-0 at home to Northern Ireland when Shea Charles struck in the 99th minute. Ukraine, meanwhile, beat Hungary 1-0 in Budapest through Danylo Sikan and have now won both games under coach Andrea Maldera.

Team News
Georgia have no new injury worries and could keep the same eleven, although a new manager may shake things up. Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili is expected in goal, and captain Khvicha Kvaratskhelia leads the attack while closing in on Georgia’s all-time scoring record.
Ukraine will be without Oleksandr Nazarenko, who was sent off after two yellow cards as a substitute against Hungary. Dmytro Riznyk should stay in goal, with Sikan up front and Georgiy Sudakov supporting him. Ukraine did not lose either of their two Nations League meetings with Georgia in 2024-25.
Predicted Lineups
Not confirmed. Based on preview reports.
Georgia: Mamardashvili; Goglichidze, Dvali, Lochoshvili; Kakabadze, Kochorashvili, Mekvabishvili, Kharebashvili, Kvernadze, Mikautadze; Kvaratskhelia
Ukraine (4-4-2): Riznyk; Krupskyi, Zabarnyi, Matviyenko, Mykolenko; Tsygankov, Ocheretko, Brazhko, Sudakov; Sikan, Vanat
Prediction
Georgia are in a rebuild and Ukraine are organised and hard to score against, having kept out a Hungary side that had 17 shots. Kvaratskhelia can change a game on his own, but we expect a tight match decided by one goal.
Prediction: Georgia 0-1 Ukraine
