GT is coming into this game with an 11-16 record overall and they are 8-8 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 17th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 4-12 in their conference games this season. They have lost 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game. Their last win was against the Pittsburgh Panthers while their 4 losses in that span came against the Miami Hurricanes, the Virginia Cavaliers, the NC State Wolfpack, and the Syracuse Orange in their last game.

VT has been playing very well in their recent games but they are coming off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 6 game winning streak where they had been gaining a lot of steam. They have not been playing very well on the road this season as they are only 5-5 and they are also just 8-8 against conference opponents but they are going up against a GT side that is currently sitting at the very bottom of the ACC with a 4-12 record against conference opponents this season. They have not been great at home either as they are only 8-8 and they have not been playing well in recent games either as they have lost 4 of their last 5 games. They are coming off of a very close loss by 1 point on the road in their last game but VT is a much stronger team than the teams they have faced in their last few games. VT should be able to come in here on the road and get a win but they will dominate in this game and they should only win by a few points as GT will hang in tough in this game at home.
