In their first-ever match at the European Championship, Georgia lost to Turkey (1-3). The teams played a spectacular match with beautiful goals and many dangerous moments. The result was significantly influenced by the experience of the Turkish players and their successful finishing. Willy Sagnol’s team played boldly in attack, hit the woodwork twice, and had chances to score at least two goals. Undoubtedly, with such play and full commitment, the team can still fight for a place in the playoffs.
However, Georgia’s recent official match statistics are not the most encouraging—they failed to win in regular time in seven out of nine games. Nonetheless, the high scoring nature of matches involving the Georgian team cannot be overlooked—in six of their last eight official matches, three or more goals were scored in regular time. Many attacking hopes are pinned on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but there is also the sharp forward from Metz, Giorgi Mikautadze, who scored against Turkey.
At the start of the European Championship, the Czech Republic nearly took points from the group favorite, Portugal (1-2). Until the 92nd minute, the score was 1-1, with the Czechs having opened the scoring first. However, they couldn’t withstand the powerful onslaught from the opponent in the end. It’s worth noting that apart from the goal they scored, the Czechs couldn’t demonstrate much in attack—only one shot on target. Overall, they had to defend for most of the match, as evidenced by their mere 31% possession.
Unlike today’s opponent, the Czech team focuses more on defending their own goal. In seven out of the last nine official matches, Ivan Ha?ek’s team conceded no more than one goal. In attack, their hopes are traditionally pinned on forward Patrik Schick.
Our prediction – Georgia will not lose at odds of 2.14.
The tournament situation suggests that playing for a draw doesn't make much sense, so both teams will likely focus on attack. Both teams have excellent attacking players, and they both scored in their opening matches, although the Czechs had some luck. It is very likely that both teams will score in this match as well.
Second bet – both teams to score at 1.90.
