The Czech Republic will face Georgia on Tuesday in an important Nations League clash. Here’s a breakdown of recent form, their head-to-head record, and predictions for the match.
Czech Republic
The Czech Republic comes into this game after a 1-1 draw with Ukraine in their last Nations League outing. In that match, they controlled 48% possession and made 15 attempts on goal, with seven hitting the target.
Lukáš Červ scored the opening goal in the 18th minute, but Artem Dovbyk equalized for Ukraine in the second half.
While the Czech Republic has been consistent in scoring, with nine goals in their last six matches, their defensive performance has been less reliable, conceding 10 goals during the same period. Their ability to continue scoring could prove crucial, but defensive issues remain a concern.
Georgia
Georgia enters the match looking to recover from a 1-0 defeat against Albania in their most recent Nations League fixture. Despite dominating possession with 64% and creating 16 chances, Georgia failed to capitalize, with Kristjan Asllani’s goal for Albania deciding the match in the 48th minute.
Under coach Willy Sagnol, Georgia has shown attacking potential, scoring eight goals in their last six games, but they’ve also allowed seven goals. To challenge the Czech Republic effectively, Georgia will need better efficiency in front of goal and a tighter defensive setup.
