Georgia vs Czech Republic Prediction and Betting Tips | September 7th 2024
Georgia will entertain the Czech Republic at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in their UEFA Nations League campaign opener on Saturday. The hosts earned promotion from League C in the 2022-23 campaign while Národní tým were relegated from League A.
Jvarosnebi had a historic Euro 2024 campaign and qualified for the knockout stage in their debut as one of the top third-ranked teams from the group stage. They were eliminated from the round of 16 by eventual champions Spain but scored a goal in that loss to ensure they had scored in all four games in the competition.
Czechia enjoyed a winning start to 2024 but failed to build on that form and went winless in the group stage of Euro 2024, suffering two losses.
Georgia vs Czech Republic Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- The two teams met for the first time in the group stage of Euro 2024 in June, with that meeting ending in a 1-1 draw.
- Jvarosnebi have an impressive record in the Nations League, suffering just one loss in 18 games. They have won four of their last six games in the competition, recording five wins while scoring at least twice in these wins.
- Národní tým are winless in their last five games in the Nations League, suffering four consecutive defeats.
- Georgia have kept six clean sheets in their nine home games in the Nations League. The Czech Republic, meanwhile, have failed to score in three of their last four away games in the competition.
- The hosts have failed to score in just one of their seven games in 2024 while keeping three clean sheets.
- Czechia, meanwhile, have scored at least once in their last 10 games in all competitions.
Georgia vs Czech Republic Prediction
Jvarosnebi left a good account of themselves in their maiden appearance in the European Championship, qualifying for the knockout stage, and will look to continue their form here. They are unbeaten in their last seven games in the Nations League, keeping five clean sheets, and are strong favorites.
Národní tým went winless in the group stage of Euro 2024, scoring one goal apiece in three games. They are winless in their last five games in the Nations League, conceding 12 goals while scoring just thrice, which is a cause for concern.
Regular starters Vladimír Coufal, Václav Černý, Tomáš Souček, and Patrik Schick have been called up for the two games this month and head coach Ivan Hašek is expected to field a strong starting XI.
The two teams met in June in Euro 2024 and played out a draw. There's nothing much to separate the two teams at the moment, and another stalemate will likely ensue.
Prediction: Georgia 1-1 Czech Republic
