Jagiellonia arrive in Tbilisi carrying a commanding 4-0 advantage from the first leg, making this second leg at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium a near-formality on paper. Iberia, coached by Andrey Demchenko, must score four goals without reply just to force extra time, a task that looks almost impossible given the gap in quality between the two sides right now. The Polish side under Adrian Siemieniec have been one of the more impressive teams in this Europa League playoff round, and their clinical display in the first meeting left little room for argument.
Two players stand out heading into this second leg. Sergio Lozano has been Jagiellonia’s most dangerous attacking presence, contributing three goals and four free kick attempts across his last six outings. For Iberia, Zviad Natchkebia leads the forward line and has featured heavily in all recent matches, though goals have been hard to come by for this squad. The hot stat from recent fixtures: Jagiellonia scored 13 goals across their last five matches, averaging over two and a half per game, while Iberia managed just two in the same period.

Iberia vs Jagiellonia Prediction
With a 4-0 first-leg deficit to overturn, Iberia face an almost impossible task. Jagiellonia simply need to avoid a catastrophic collapse, and their form over the past month gives no indication that anything of the sort is coming. The Polish side won five of their last seven matches, dropped points only once in a draw against Rangers, and have been tight and well-organized defensively throughout.
We predict Jagiellonia to win this match and progress comfortably. The value bet here is a Jagiellonia win on the night, with the odds around 1.90 to 1.93 offering genuine value given the bookmakers’ own probability assessment sits at 49%. Iberia have not shown the attacking output needed to threaten a side of this caliber.
Jagiellonia average 48 total shots across their last five games compared to Iberia’s 27, and their pass accuracy data reflects a far more structured side. Iberia committed zero recorded fouls in the available team stats, which may reflect data gaps, but Jagiellonia’s 29 fouls and 13 yellow cards across five games show a team that presses hard and competes physically. That physical approach could unsettle a Georgian side that has struggled for consistency, winning just two of their last six matches.

Team Analysis
Iberia’s recent form has been inconsistent at best. Across their last six matches they recorded two wins, two losses, and two draws. Their most recent outing was the 4-0 defeat to Jagiellonia in the first leg, a result that effectively ended the tie. Before that, they fell 4-3 to Torpedo Kutaisi in a high-scoring Georgian league match, suggesting their defensive structure is a genuine concern. Their two wins came against Larne, and a 1-1 draw with Slovan Bratislava showed they can hold their own against stronger opposition on occasion, but that was not enough to build momentum heading into this second leg.
Jagiellonia’s recent run has been outstanding. Over their last seven matches they won five, drew one, and lost one. The single loss came against Widzew Lodz in the Polish league, a game they likely treated with rotation in mind given the European commitments. They beat Rangers twice, 2-1 and 1-1 across two legs, and then dismantled Iberia 4-0 in the first leg of this playoff tie. A 2-1 win over Motor Lublin earlier in the run further confirms they handle domestic opposition with relative ease. This is a team in strong shape with clear tactical identity.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Jagiellonia the Favourite
- Moneyline Iberia 3.80 | Jagiellonia 1.93
- Draw 3.59
- Over/Under Over 2.5 | Under 2.5
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes | No
The odds across most bookmakers place Jagiellonia firmly as favorites, with the best available price around 1.93. Given the first-leg result and the form differential, this reflects fair market pricing. Iberia at 3.80 might attract some attention from value hunters, but the underlying stats do not support a home win. The draw price around 3.50 to 3.59 is interesting if Jagiellonia decide to manage the tie conservatively, but we expect them to push for another goal early and kill any remaining hope. Backing Jagiellonia to win on the night at 1.93 is the cleaner, more supported call.
Possible Starting Lineups
Iberia Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Giorgi Makaridze
- DF: Aleksandre Amisulashvili, Vahid Selimović, giorgi kobuladze, Sebastián Figueredo
- MF: Nikoloz Dadiani, Bakar Kardava, Ibrahim Alhassan Abdullahi, Giorgi Kutsia
- FW: Zviad Natchkebia, Amiran Dzagania
Iberia are expected to line up in their familiar 4-3-3 shape. Giorgi Makaridze starts in goal after logging the most minutes of any goalkeeper in the squad. The back four writes itself based on appearance data, with Vahid Selimović and Aleksandre Amisulashvili as the most reliable defensive options. Nikoloz Dadiani is worth watching in midfield, having picked up four yellow cards across five games, which tells you he competes aggressively. Zviad Natchkebia leads the attack and will be under pressure to produce something meaningful.
Jagiellonia Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Sławomir Abramowicz
- DF: Norbert Wojtuszek, Yuki Kobayashi, Bernardo Vital, Guilherme Montóia
- MF: Taras Romanczuk, Jesús Imaz, Ferslev Anders Klynge
- FW: Sergio Lozano, Nik Prelec, Kajetan Szmyt
Jagiellonia’s 4-3-3 setup has been consistent across recent fixtures. Sławomir Abramowicz, with six saves and 540 minutes played, is the clear first-choice goalkeeper. Guilherme Montóia and Bernardo Vital provide attacking width from the back line, both registering assists in recent games. In attack, Sergio Lozano leads the scoring charts with three goals and is the man to watch. Nik Prelec and Jeremy Agbonifo offer additional threat, and Kajetan Szmyt’s all-action style in the forward line adds energy and pressing quality from the front.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Jagiellonia are the obvious pick here, and the stats back it up at every level. They outshot Iberia 48 to 27 in the first leg, scored four without reply, and arrive in Tbilisi needing nothing more than a professional performance. Their last seven matches produced five wins, their attack is in form, and their squad depth allows Siemieniec to rotate without losing quality.
Iberia have not scored in the most recent head-to-head, and their last five matches returned just two goals in total. The home crowd may provide some lift, but the quality gap is too wide to bridge over 90 minutes. We predict a Jagiellonia win on the night, with goals coming from multiple sources. The tie is over, and the Polish side know it. Expect a controlled, efficient performance that sees them through to the next round without drama.
