Georgia will welcome Belarus to Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in the capital Tbilisi for their play-off match, which will determine who will qualify for Euro 2021.
None of the nations have taken part in the continental tournament in history so far. The victors will be meeting either North Macedonia or Kosovo in next month's playoff final, with the other two countries also set to go head-to-head on Thursday evening. Gibraltar were the only side who fell to defeat against Georgia in qualification Group D, but the Crusaders are still on course to reach next summer's tournament owing to their 2018-19 Nations League performance.
Vladimir Weiss's side have also started the current Nations League campaign in ideal fashion with four points from six matches, beating Estonia before drawing with North Macedonia - who they could meet in the play-off final - last month. Since becoming independent after the breakup of the Soviet Union, Georgia have never reached the finals of the European Championships, and the Crusaders finished fourth in their group with two wins, two draws, and four losses from eight matches.
Belarus proved no match for Germany, the Netherlands, and Northern Ireland in the group stage, with their solitary victory of qualifying coming against Estonia. Nevertheless, Mikhail Markhel's men enjoyed a terrific 2018-19 Nations League campaign, which saw them top Group D2 and earns promotion to League C, which has provided Belarus with the opportunity to nab one of the final four qualification spots for next summer's Euros. Markhel's men are also preparing for fixtures with Kazakhstan and Lithuania in this round of international fixtures, but for now, Belarus will be focused on advancing to the playoff final and making it four wins out of five in 2020.
Georgia vs Belarus Key Facts
The teams of Georgia and Belarus have met three times so far, with the most recent played just over three years ago.
In 2017 the two sides met for a friendly and failed to come up with a winner as it finished in 2:2 draw.
The other two encounters were in 2012 when the teams were drawn in the same group of the World Cup 2014 qualifiers.

Both of these countries will be dreaming of a first-ever appearance at the European finals, but must not let themselves get carried away before taking to the field in midweek. This one will be a tight affair and could go either way, but Belarus can boast a decent set of results this year and we expect Markhel's side to just edge it.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
