How do Georgia’s attacking output and Northern Ireland’s recent defensive record compare heading into this match?

Betting analysis around this match leans heavily on one contrast: how much Georgia tend to shoot at home versus how many shots Northern Ireland have been conceding on the road lately.
Georgia’s attacking output at home
Georgia have been averaging 15.8 shots per game in their recent Nations League home fixtures — a high volume that’s part of why they’re being listed as odds-on favorites for this match.
Northern Ireland’s away defensive record
Northern Ireland’s away form is flagged as a potential concern. In World Cup qualifying, they conceded 16 shots away at Slovakia and 19 shots away at Italy. Those numbers come from a noticeably higher level of competition than the League C group they’ve just come through, which is part of why their defensive record away from home is being watched closely here.
How the numbers line up
| Georgia | Northern Ireland | |
|---|---|---|
| Shots per game (home, recent NL fixtures) | 15.8 | — |
| Shots conceded (away, vs. Slovakia) | — | 16 |
| Shots conceded (away, vs. Italy) | — | 19 |
Georgia’s shot volume and Northern Ireland’s recent shots-conceded numbers come from different fixture types (Nations League home games for Georgia, World Cup qualifiers away for Northern Ireland), so treat this as a directional comparison rather than a like-for-like stat, and check the latest pre-match analysis for any updated numbers closer to kickoff.
