AIA Kutaisi vs Vepkhvebi: match preview on 9 October 2026

Vepkhvebi to win. The visitors sit third after two victories while AIA Kutaisi languish in ninth following two defeats. The prediction changes if AIA Kutaisi score first and Vepkhvebi fail to respond within the opening quarter of an hour.

AIA Kutaisi have lost both matches so far this campaign. They went down 17:31 away to Batumi on 2 October and 16:17 at home to Tsikara on 26 September. The points tally shows just 1 point from 2 games. The last five fixtures include two wins against Kharebi Rustavi and Khvamli Tbilisi, but those came months ago in April. The recent run has been difficult.

Vepkhvebi have won both opening fixtures. A 31:29 victory over Ares Kutaisi at home on 3 October followed a 40:28 win away to Batumi on 25 September. They sit third with 8 points after 2 matches. The last five outings show four wins and one defeat, with 212 goals scored and 126 conceded.

There is no head-to-head record between these two sides in the database. The gap in standings is eight points, and the difference in results is stark — two wins versus two losses.

AIA Kutaisi need a result to turn around. They have not found consistency since April. Vepkhvebi have won both games and are building form.

If AIA Kutaisi start strongly and Vepkhvebi cannot cope with the pace, the prediction changes. But that has not happened in their recent matches. The visitors have won both games.

The match kicks off at 12:00 UTC on 9 October. AIA Kutaisi will host at their home ground. They need a result to climb away from the bottom. Vepkhvebi want to maintain their position in the top three.
