The bottom two nations in Group A of Euro 2024 qualifying meet at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in Tbilisi on Sunday afternoon as Georgia play host to Cyprus.
Cyprus will be seeking revenge against the Crusaders after they lost 2-1 in the reverse fixture held in Larnaca four months ago.
Ajax forward Georges Mikautadze became Georgia's first-ever player to score four goals in a single game and the first to net three since the nation's all-time leading scorer Shota Arveladze back in 1997, while Zuriko Davitashvili (2) Luka Lochoshvili and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were also on target in a memorable win for the Crusaders.
Willy Sagnol's side are understandably brimming with confidence and they must build on Thursday's triumph with another victory on Sunday if they wish to keep their slim hopes of qualifying for their first-ever European Championships alive.
Georgia, who currently sit fourth in Group A with just four points from their first five matches, must also hope that second-placed Spain draw with third-placed Norway in Oslo to remain in contention for a top-two spot.
