Gibraltar have managed to pick up just one point from the last possible 15 on offer thanks to a 1-1 draw at home with Bulgaria.
But four defeats in their five group matches to date have landed the hosts in serious relegation trouble.
Losses incurred against Georgia 4-0 away from home, home and away losses to North Macedonia 2-0 and 4-0 respectively and a heavy 5-1 loss way at Bulgaria have consigned Gibraltar to bottom place in Group 4 and do not bode well for this upcoming encounter with Georgia on Monday night.
In addition, Gibraltar have failed to win any of their last seven matches overall in the Nations League, losing four of these games.
The hosts have managed to collect just two wins on home soil from their previous seven games.
Onto Georgia and the visitors have already secured promotion from League C up to League B for the next Nations League campaign as they currently sit top of the group and six points clear of their nearest rivals, North Macedonia, with just one group fixture round remaining.
It’s been an extremely successful Nations League campaign for Georgia who have achieved promotion with a game to spare as the visitors still remain unbeaten having recorded four wins and a draw in the process and thoroughly deserve to be playing League B football next time.
Victories over Gibraltar, Bulgaria and home and away wins against North Macedonia have lifted Georgia to the top of the table and simply blown away their opponents, and a 0-0 draw at home with Bulgaria has also extended their unbeaten run in Group 4.
Indeed, Georgia have suffered just the one defeat in their previous 17 games overall in this competition which was a 2-1 loss at home to Armenia but on the road, Georgia are unbeaten in each of their last eight outings on their travels and they look set for further success here on Monday night.
