Czech Republic vs Georgia Prediction & Betting Tips (19 November)

In this particularly tight group, Czechia is still in control at the top of the ranking with a small point ahead of its first two pursuers, Georgia and Albania. This team got off to a bad start in this competition, losing to Georgia 4-1. Narodny Tim was then able to bounce back to win against Ukraine 3-2 and ahead Albania 2-0 before posting 2 consecutive draws against Ukraine 1-1 and Albania 0-0 last weekend. It should still be remembered that last June, the Czechs rather disappointed observers by finishing last in their group behind the Portugal, Turkey and Georgia. Georgia, for its part, is one of the teams rising on the European level.

Already capable of qualifying for the 1/8 finals of the Euro last June after beating Portugal 2-0, Willy Sagnol's men are still in the race to try to climb into League A of this Nations League . Indeed, the Crusaders are in 2nd position in this group with one point behind their opponent of the day and a victory would undoubtedly allow them to join the elite. In September, the Georgians were able to win against the Czech Republic 4-1 then against Albania 0-1 but they came through during the October break by losing against Ukraine 1-0 then by Albania 0-1. Finally, last weekend, Georgia had to settle for a draw against Ukraine 1-1.

Many elements are missing on the Czech side since the defenders Zima (Slavia Prague, 22 sel), Zeleny (Sparta Prague, 12 sel) and Krejci (Girona, 16 sel) are all on the flank. The attackers Schick (Bayer Leverkusen, 42 caps, 20 goals) and Cvancara (Gladbach, 8 selection, 1 goal) have not received a call-up from their coach. On the other hand, the defenders Coufal (West Ham, 50 sel), Holes (Slavia Prague, 33 sel) and Boril (Slavia Prague, 30 sel), midfielders Kral (Espanyol, 42 sel), Cerny (Rangers, 21 sel, 6 goals) and Provod (Slavia Prague, 27 sel) and the attackers Hlozek (Hoffenheim, 39 sel, 2 goals), Chory (Slavia Prague, 11 sel, 4 goals) and Kuchta (Midtjylland, 26 selections, 3 goals).

Also note the presence of captain Tomas Soucek (West Ham, 78 sel, 14 goals) who is undoubtedly the figurehead of this squad.
