Dinamo Batumi currently leads the league with 59 points, tied with Iberia 1999. Dinamo Tbilisi is third with 58 points, and Rustavi is fourth with 56, meaning just three points separate the top four contenders.
The title race intensified in the last round when league leaders Dinamo Batumi suffered a 3-2 defeat to Sabail, allowing Iberia 1999 to draw level after a 1-0 win. Meanwhile, Dinamo Tbilisi and Rustavi also secured victories, keeping their championship hopes alive.
Ashata, a 27-year-old midfielder who previously captained Hapoel Jerusalem, joined Dinamo Batumi on a free transfer this past summer. He has scored two goals in 12 appearances for the club. Sandro Altunashvili, a former Hapoel Haifa player, also plays for Dinamo Batumi.
Dinamo Batumi, which won the league in 2021 and 2023, is aiming to reclaim the title. The club previously had star player Khvicha Kvaratskhelia of PSG and the Georgian national team in its ranks. The remaining schedule includes a crucial match against Iberia 1999 on November 30, which could decide the championship, with the final round on December 5.
