Georgia boasts an impressive 13-2 record at home this season, including victories over ranked opponents such as Kentucky and Oklahoma. In contrast, Missouri has struggled on the road with a 2-4 record. Georgia excels at forcing turnovers, ranking fifth in the conference in turnover margin, while Missouri lags behind at 14th in the SEC.
