Georgia vs Czech Republic prediction 22.06.2024 | EURO 2024

• Competition: EURO 2024
• Date: Saturday, 22nd June, 2024
• Kickoff: 14:00 UTC +1 / 15:00 CEST
• Venue: Volksparkstadion (Hamburg)

After both teams suffered defeat in their first games of the EURO 2024, Georgia and the Czech Republic will look for their first points in this h2h matchup at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.

Georgia's first appearance ever on the EURO started with a loss against Turkey 3:1, but we are far from disappointed with what we have seen from the popular Crusaders. They are an interesting team that reached EURO by winning their UEFA Nations League C and eventually won the Playoffs against Greece and Luxembourg. Only reaching the EURO is a massive success, but due to rule changes, a win over the Czech Republic would increase their chances massively because, according to projections, a team with three points and a -1 goal difference has an 82% chance of securing the second stage. Meanwhile, a team with three points and a 0 goal difference has an incredible 94% chance of reaching the knockout phase. So, the Crusaders will definitely look for points here and not against the strongest team in the group, Portugal.

The Czech Republic managed to extend its 100% appearance on the EURO since the split with Slovakia and appeared in all eight EUROs. They reached the tournament after securing 2nd place in Group with Albania, Poland, Moldova, and Faroe Islands. In this EURO, they faced Portugal in the first game, losing pretty unlucky by 2:1. Now, just like Georgia, the Czech Republic will also look for all three points.

Georgia vs Czech Republic pick: Both teams to score

Georgia lost 3:1 in the first game against Turkey, but they deserved at least one more goal. They had really good chances and a 2.03 xG, but they were unlucky not to score. Also, contrary to everyone's expectations, the Crusaders did not play defensive-oriented football. Now, in order to secure the second stage, Georgia will have to go for all three points, which could turn out great for this type of bet.

In the first EURO game, they did not show too much against Portugal because they played defensively and lost 2:1. Still, they managed to score and should be more than capable of scoring against one of the weakest teams in EURO. On the other hand, Czech Republic did show defensive flaws, conceding goals after two mistakes. Generally speaking, they rarely keep their net intact. They failed to keep their net intact in the last five games in all competitions and faced some really poor teams like Malta, Armenia, and North Macedonia.

Considering all the above, a both teams to score bet should be the best option for this match.
