Napoli sensation Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is expected to lead Georgia as they take on Cyprus as qualification for the European Championship next year hits up.

The Eastern Europeans have not qualified for the competition in their history, but would the Napoli winger be the game changer even as they currently sit fourth on the standings with a game less?

Host Cyprus are bottom of the table following the defeat to Scotland. They’ve got a game less and could supercharge their way to contention.
