Focusing on a low block and quick transitions, Dila Gori operates with a 5-4-1 formation. This lineup is built to sit deep and absorb pressure, looking to strike when the opposition leaves space behind their defense. The goal is to keep the team compact and frustrate the opponent by denying space in the middle of the pitch.

In goal, shekiladze holds the line and manages the defensive area. The back line uses a three man central defense consisting of parulava, konte, and andronikashvili. These central defenders stay close together to protect the middle and win aerial duels. On either side, the wing backs bugridze and edudzi provide the necessary width. Bugridze and edudzi must track back to form a flat five when defending, but they also look to push up and provide crosses once the ball is won.

The midfield operates in a flat line of four to protect the defensive unit. Kosta and mendesh sit in the central roles to shield the three defenders and intercept passes. They act as the bridge between the back line and the forward. On the flanks, chabradze and tibue occupy the wide areas. These players are tasked with tracking the opposing full backs and helping the wing backs, while also being ready to drive forward during a counter attack to support the lone striker.

Kereselidze plays as a lone striker at the front of the formation. The attacking plan relies on Kereselidze to hold up the ball and wait for the midfield to join the play. By occupying the opposing center backs, the striker creates space for chabradze and tibue to cut inside or make runs into the channels. The team relies on this single point of contact to bring others into the game through direct passes or quick layoffs.

Dila Gori gains a clear advantage through defensive compactness and numerical superiority in the defensive third. Having parulava, konte, and andronikashvili together makes it very difficult for opponents to find gaps in the center. Another strength is the ability to use the wide areas when bugridze and edudzi overlap to create quick transitions. This formation forces the opposition to stretch themselves, creating isolated situations for the wingers to exploit.

This 5-4-1 formation is a disciplined system designed for defensive stability and counter attacking efficiency. It is best suited for matches against superior technical sides where sitting deep and absorbing pressure is the most effective way to earn a result.
