⚽ Football EURO 2024 Match Preview

⏰ 22 June 2024 - 14:00 GMT +1

🏟 Stadium: Volksparkstadion (Hamburg)

Georgia and Czech Republic both seek to rebound from opening match defeats in their Euro 2024 Group F encounter. Georgia, the lowest-ranked team in the tournament, showed resilience in their 3-1 loss to Turkey, conceding a late goal while pushing for an equalizer. The Czech Republic suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Portugal, conceding in the 92nd minute after initially taking the lead.

Georgia's loss to Turkey was their first in four matches (W3), though their recent victories came against lower-ranked opponents. Manager Willy Sagnol faces the challenge of elevating his team's performance against stronger competition.

The Czech Republic, participating in their eighth consecutive European Championship, aim to improve their recent group stage record of just one win in their last seven Euro matches (D2, L4). Under new coach Ivan Hašek, they had been undefeated (W4) until the Portugal game. The Czechs have reached the knockout stages in four of their seven previous Euro appearances but have never won at the Volksparkstadion, the venue for this match.

📋 Players to watch: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is key for Georgia, with eight of his last ten scoring appearances resulting in wins (D1, L1). For the Czech Republic, Lukáš Provod, who scored their opener against Portugal, has seen all three of his international goals come in matches where both teams scored.

⚡ Match Facts: Five of the Czech Republic's last six games have produced exactly three goals.

💡 Prediction: This match is crucial for both teams' hopes of advancing from Group F. Georgia's tournament inexperience contrasts with the Czech Republic's Euro pedigree, but both showed competitive spirit in their openers. The Czechs' higher ranking and tournament experience give them an edge, but Georgia's nothing-to-lose attitude could make for an open, entertaining game. Given the Czech Republic's recent scoring trend and Georgia's attacking ambitions, we might see another three-goal game. A close contest could end in a 2-1 victory for the Czech Republic, with both teams finding the net.

Betting tips: Both Teams to Score looks promising given both teams' recent matches. Exactly 3 Goals is worth considering based on the Czech Republic's recent trend. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia as an anytime goalscorer offers value for Georgia. For the Czech Republic, backing Lukáš Provod to score in a match where both teams score could be an interesting option. Czech Republic to Win and Both Teams to Score might offer good odds for a riskier bet.
