Georgia vs Czech Republic Prediction: Both teams will give their best in this crucial game

In the round 2 encounter of the ongoing UEFA Euro 2024, Georgia and the Czech Republic will battle it out at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg in Group F. Both 𝕴teams faced defeats in their respective opening games and look forward to some positivity here. Below, I will look at the previews of this game while also making betting opportunities available. 

As a European debutant, Georgia was impressed in their opener against Turkey, but they did not get the desired result. In their opener, Georgia conceded just 25 minutes into the game. While a goal was ruled out in their favor two minutes later, they braced themselves to level things up in the 32nd minute through Georges Mikautadze. However, while this team fought hard until the last minute after conceding from a powerful strike from Arda Guler in the 65th minute, a late-minute goal by Kerem Akturkoglu dashed their hopes finally. 

Still, it is wort🤡h noting t🍌hat this team created 4 shots on target in that game while also hitting the post from 15 attempted shots. That was the most by any debutant side since Austria graced this tournament in 2008. Ahead of this game, Georgia have scored at least one goal in nine of their last 10 games in all competitions, including friendlies.

The Czech Republic will look to take positivity from their opening game loss to Portugal in this encounter after a late-minute strike denied them a point in that game. Starting the match on a good note, the Czech Republic held Portugal to a goalless draw in the first half and then took the lead 17 minutes into the second half, thanks to Lukas Provod’s strike. However, this team could have at least picked up a point in that opener despite Robin Hranac's own goal, but a late-minute strike by 21-year-old Francisco Conceicao denied them. 

However, while this tea𝓰m had jusꦯt one shot on target against Portugal, which they did well to convert, they will now look to improve their offense. Ahead of this game, the Czech Republic have just one win in their last five games in the European Championship while suffering three losses. The 1996 runners-up have made the quarter-finals in two of their last three Euros; however, this Czech Republic team has lost seven times in their last 12 games in the Euro since the 2008 finals, and one more setback could send them packing on Saturday.

Georgia Possible Starting Lineup:

Mamardashvili; Dvali, Kashia, Kverkvelia; Kakabadze, Kochorashv൩ili, Mekvabishvili, Chakvetadze, Tsitaishvili; Kvaratskhelia, Mikaut🍎adze

Czech Republic Possible Starting Lineup:

Stanek; Holes, Hranac, Krejci; Soucek, Co✃ufal, Barak,🐠 Provod, Doudera; Chytil, Schick

After strong performances in their opening games, both teams are tipped to get the best of their games here. However, the focus in this game should be an offensive approach, as the two sides showed a threat in the final third of their first game in Euro 2024. Also, the Czech Republic seems to have a better and more balanced squad compared to Georgia, looking at how they played against Portugꦜal, and they are expected to feel more comfortable playing against a lesser-threatening side. Take the option of both teams scoring in this game, while the Czech Republic win their first game in this tournament.
