Win the match and we qualify for the European Championships.


This is because the 7 best second placed teams of the 8 groups qualify for the tournament. Belgium have finished their group already and have 1 point in the second place table. Only games against the teams who finish first and third count. 
We already have 3 points from beating Macedonia. If we beat Georgia, we will have at least 3 points on the table, even if Georgia finish last, or Macedonia, or indeed Poland (in which case we'd have 6 points on the second place table.
There is no way we can't finish at least 2nd if we win today, as Georgia and Poland drew in the first game.

Ireland go into the game as 3rd highest seed of the 32 teams in elite qualifying, Georgia are 23rd.
And Portugal and Germany are ranked 1st and second as they qualified automatically, so Ireland actually were the highest seeds after the first round of qualifying.
