Georgia vs France September 6, 2013

France and Spain are locked in a tight battle for the top spot in Group I of UEFA World Cup qualifying, which ensures a trip to Brazil next summer. In order to at least keep pace, France can't afford to overlook a potentially tough test from Georgia.

With three matches left for both sides, the Blues are one point behind the defending World Cup champions. Since they have already played each other twice, France will need Spain to slip up in order to take over first place.

Most importantly, they have to take care of their own business. That continues with a clash against a Georgia side that held Spain scoreless for 85 minutes before Roberto Soldado scored a late road winner. The Crusaders will need a similar defensive effort in this match.

Let's check out all the important information for the qualifier, followed by a closer look at what France must do to earn all three points and a match prediction

Where: Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi, Georgia

When: Friday, Sept. 6 at 2:15 p.m. ET (7:15 p.m. BST)
