Our prediction: Norway – Czech Republic: each team will score – YES

22.03.2024 18:00

The Czech national team will have its first meeting under Ivan Hašek and the nomination suggests that it will be tested a lot in the upcoming matches against Norway and Armenia.

The seasoned coach has invited fresh blood into the squad, which seems quite sympathetic. In any case, Hranac, Vlcek, Sulc, Jurásek or Jaroš deserve the nomination and can bring new dynamics to the team. On the other hand, the trio of Brabec, Kuchta and Coufal, who violated the internal rules of the national team last time, remained out of the game. But that was a good move by the team management, journalists would have asked the same questions over and over again and the national team would not have had a break to prepare. On the other hand, Antonín Barák, who has goal scoring potential, will get a new chance, which is exactly what the team needs.

The fact that both Hložek and Schick started in the last round of the Bundesliga is also positive news, while league players Chytil and Chorý are also in scoring form. The national team will thus be dangerous and well-equipped in terms of strength going forward. It will be worse towards the back, where there are a number of players struggling with form. Zelený, Holeš or Krejčí are going through a weaker period and their nomination is not a good signal for others who are performing better. Meanwhile, the defence will have to compete with one of the best strikers of today, Erling Haaland.

Norway blew up in Euro qualifying, so the team has started a generational turnover. Of the field players, not a single one is over thirty years old, with only goalkeeper Nyland bucking the aforementioned trend. In any case, Norway has a great team full of stars at their disposal. In addition to the phenomenal Haaland, there are strikers Sorloth and Larsen from Spain, captain Odegaard, who is fighting for the title with Arsenal, and Oscar Bobb from Manchester City has grown up a lot this season. It may be a little weaker defensively, but Ryerson from Dortmund or Ajer from Brentford are also well-known names with great quality.

Norway is not under pressure and can play completely relaxed, which means they will push themselves offensively to send at least a small apology to their fans. Also, the Czechs have been playing mostly offensively in preparation, so this could be a game that will see no shortage of goals.

What to bet on:

Defending the cannonballer Haaland is a difficult task for any defense in the world, and this time coach Hašek’s squad will find out. On the other hand, the rising form of Patrik Schick and other offensive players in the Czech team should mean that the visitors will also score goals. Both teams will score, try BetBuilder to bet on the match.
