Volksparkstadion

Czech Republic and Georgia will face off in the second game week of the Euros at Hamburg in what will be a must-win for both teams. Both Czechia and Georgia have lost their first round games, making the other two teams in the group, Portugal and Turkey, favourites to qualify in 1st and 2nd place, respectively. Both teams will need to go for this game, especially if they want to finish as the 3rd-best team. If Georgia loses this game, then they will go into the last game knowing that they have to beat Portugal and expect Turkey to beat the Czech Republic. Likewise for Czechia, a loss in this game would nearly be curtains for them in this edition of the Euros.

The Czech Republic, in their first game, executed their game plan perfectly. They took the lead in the 62nd minute through a wonderful volley from Provod. They let Portugal into the game seven minutes later through an own goal. In the dying minutes of the game, Conceicao latched onto a ricochet in the box to win the game and break Czech hearts.

Georgia went behind Turkey in the 25th minute but quickly equalised through Mikautadze within 7 minutes. Georgia found themselves open at times, with Turkey constantly bombarding them. Turkey took the lead through Arda Guler’s wonder strike. Georgia came into the game later on, as they missed some absolute sitters. One hit the post, one was an off-target shot in an empty net, and one attempt was cleared off the line. Turkey scored on the counter as Georgia pushed all their men forward, including their goalkeeper.

Facts:

Georgia and the Czech Republic are set to face each other for the first time in their entire football history. The Czechs, however, have a very good record against the nations they debut against. Czechia have lost just one of their six games against teams that they have faced for the first time. The loss came to Kosovo in 2019. They have, however, won the remaining five games.
Georgia became one of the many teams to lose their first game at the Euros in the group stage. The group stage has been introduced quite late in the Euros, and since then, only two teams have lost their first group game and qualified for the knockout stages. Incidentally, those 2 scenarios happened in the 2016 edition of the Euros with Slovakia and Northern Island.
The Czech Republic came into this after losing their first group game, and if they lost against Georgia, it would be the first time since the 2000 edition of the Euros that they lost their opening two games of the group. In Euro 2008, they beat Switzerland in the opening game, but since then, their group stage performances have not been up to par. They have won just 3 of the 12 games they have played since then, losing 7 and drawing 2.
The Czech Republic were able to complete just 169 passes against Portugal in the first round. That was the lowest tally any team managed in the first game week of Euro 2024. Attacking wise, they registered only 8 touches in Portugal’s box, which was the third lowest in game week, one only behind Scotland and Albania.

Czech Republic vs Georgia: Chance of Winning

When it comes to the head-to-head record, there are no past games to draw from as these two nations have never battled against each other. The Volksparkstadion in Hamburg will be where these two sides meet for the first time in any competitive game.

Georgia in the first game had their attacking moments to get at Turkey. They are a team that likes to attack, which leaves them open at times at the back. Turkey was able to exploit that on many occasions. The Georgians need to vary on that, as the Czechs also have a decent attacking output. They will need to produce a solid display, especially in midfield. We, however, do believe that Georgia will attack in order to attack for a win. That could cost them here.’

The Czech Republic is solid when it comes to its backline, and we believe that they do have more than enough to restrict the Georgian attack. In qualification, the Czech Republic has attacked well, and with Georgia attacking, we can see Czechia exploiting them, especially on the transition. Hence, with all things considered, we do believe that the Czech Republic, going into this game, has a much better chance of winning.

Georgia vs Czech Republic: Predictions and Betting Tips

According to the bookmakers, the Czech Republic go into this game as big odds-on favourites to beat the Czech Republic on Saturday. Both nations started off their Euro campaign with defeats, but it was the Czech Republic that had a tougher opponent in Portugal. The Czechs almost got a point for being one of the tournament’s favourites; hence, they are the favourites for this game.

The Czech Republic was resolute in their first game against Portugal, with two unlucky mistakes from the goalkeeper, which cost them the win. Czechia in that game showed that they do have one of the tightest defences in the competition. However, their expected goal ratio in that game was quite poor. They had a 0.57 xG, and they scored one goal on the night. The Czech. The Czechs have been a team that has always had problems when it comes to scoring goals. The overall goal ratio in 2024 will be 2.0, but against the bigger teams, they do need to do better.

Georgia and Turkey had their fair chances of equalising on the night. Georgia showed that they are a very attacking team and were very unlucky on the night. They registered an xG of 1.37, for which they had a goal to show. Georgia in 2024 will average 2.3 goals per game.

Based on these numbers and past fixtures taken into account, here are our tips and predictions for this game. We believe that this game will have goals, but not too many. Both nations do need to win this game, as qualification for the third spot is at stake. A win for either team puts them in a good position.

In terms of goals, we expect both teams to score a combined tally of under 3 goals. We do, however, expect the Czech Republic to keep a clean sheet in this game. Their defence looked solid against Portugal, and we expect them to do the same. They have conceded just 1.1 goals on average in 2024, showing how stable their defence is.

In terms of goal scoring, we do expect the Czech Republic to score in this game. Our prediction is for the Czechs to score under two goals. They have a scoring tally of 2 goals per game, and Georgia has conceded an average of 1.8 goals per game.

Turkey was also able to get a lot of attempts past them in the first game. Turkey registered a total of 22 shots against Georgia; hence, we also expect the Czech Republic to get a few cracks at their defence. Czechia will average a total of 14.4 shots against their opponents in 2024. They got five shots on Portugal’s goal. Hence, in this game, we do believe that the Czech Republic should get a tally of 10 or more shots against Georgia.

In terms of scoring, we back Patrick Schick to score in this game for the Czech Republic. Schick was neutralised by the Portuguese defence, but in this game, we do expect him to have more space. Schick is coming off a really good spell with domestic club Leverkusen, and hence we do expect him to score his first goal of the Euros this season.

We also back Kvicha Kvaratskhelia to make more than six dribbles in this game against the Czech Republic. In the first game, the Napoli winger dribbled past his opponents 11 times, which was the joint highest in the first round of games in the Euros. At times, Czechia would have a low block, especially if they were defending a lead, and hence we could see some individual brilliance from Kvaratskhelia.

Final Prediction:The Czech Republic will beat Georgia.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Czech Republic

The bookies have easily backed the Czech Republic to take this tie against Georgia, and we back them in this call. Both teams, even though they got beat, actually performed quite well. Both were unlucky in their own way, as the Czech Republic nearly held Portugal to a draw and Georgia nearly got a draw with Turkey. It was the fine margins on the day that enabled Portugal and Turkey to win.

The Czech Republic, however, gave more of a fight to Portugal. Their defence looked rock solid, making a world-class attack in Portugal's scram for the win. Georgia, on the other hand, did concede a lot of attempts on goal. Turkey should have sealed the game earlier.

Hence, on this basis, we feel that the bookies have labelled the Czech Republic as a clear favourite. Czechia also has more experience when it comes to playing in major competitions, and we believe that this will be the difference between the two teams. Based on everything, our prediction for this game is a 2-0 win for the Czech Republic.
