Our tip: Georgia – Czech Republic: 2

22.06.2024 15:00

Both teams lost in their opening Euro appearances, so they will be under a lot of pressure in their second game in Hamburg. Both the Czech Republic and Georgia desperately need points to keep alive their hopes of advancing to the knockout stage.

The Georgians are in a slightly tougher situation, having lost to Turkey (1:3) in their first match and facing a strong Portugal side at the end. Also, the -2 goals ratio is an aggravating circumstance so far, so Georgia has to play clearly to win, which could bring some defensive windows.

In the first match, the team showed quality up front, scoring one goal, but not converting other clear-cut chances. The Kvaratskhelia-Mikautadze pairing in particular will be very dangerous. The star of Italian Naples and the striker of the French Mets are technically good, both have a good shot from mid-range.

On the other hand, there aren’t that many big names in defence, which was evident in the first game. Turkey got to the end 22 times (8 shots on goal), and that’s a lot.

Czech Republic lost badly to Portugal in Leipzig (1:2), but it was not a good performance. Although the team defended honestly, there was no lack of commitment and fighting spirit. However, the team showed very little going forward (failing to keep the ball, lacking the courage to cross upwards, inaccurate passing), so the coaching staff announced changes. Kuchta, Hranáč, Douděra or Šulc could lose their place in the starting lineup.

The question mark hangs over Tomas Soucek, who is not fully fit. The captain of the national team will play if it is possible, the question is how much it can affect his performance.

In any case, the Czechs will rely on team performance and will run a lot. They will try to press the opponent’s defence, expect more courage upwards. Schick and co. will definitely get on the end of the ball more often than against Portugal, and we will finally see some standards in which we should be strong. Moreover, under Hašek the national team is effective in the end and will score goals, after all Georgia has already scored a lot of goals in the qualification, the same was confirmed in the aforementioned duel with Turkey.

What to bet on:

The Czech Republic has more experience than its opponent at the Euro, and the national team can rely on a more solid defensive unit than Georgia. The national team has more quality in its midfield (at least according to the clubs where the players play), including the bench. Coach Hašek’s charges will win, everything else goes aside this time.
