Czech Republic vs Georgia Prediction: 19/11/2024

The Czech Republic is set to face Georgia in a crucial Nations League match on Tuesday. Here’s an overview of the teams’ recent performances, head-to-head history, and predictions for the game.

 

Czech Republic

The Czech Republic enters this game following a 1-1 draw against Ukraine in their previous Nations League match. During that game, they had 48% possession and created 15 shots, with seven on target. Lukáš Červ scored the opening goal in the 18th minute, but Ukraine equalized through Artem Dovbyk in the second half.

The Czech Republic has been consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in each of their last six games for a total of nine goals. However, their defensive record has been less solid, conceding 10 goals over the same period. While this attacking trend might continue, their defensive lapses could prove costly.

 

Georgia

Georgia comes into this match aiming to bounce back after a 1-0 defeat to Albania in their most recent Nations League fixture. Despite dominating possession with 64% and attempting 16 shots, they failed to convert their chances. Kristjan Asllani’s goal for Albania in the 48th minute sealed Georgia’s loss.

Under coach Willy Sagnol, Georgia has scored eight goals in their last six matches while conceding seven. They will need to improve their finishing and tighten their defense to secure a result against the Czech Republic.

 

Head-to-Head Record

The last time these two sides met was on September 7, 2024, during the Nations League. Georgia triumphed with an emphatic 4-1 victory. In that match, Georgia held 44% possession and fired 13 shots, with six on target. Goals came from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Giorgi Chakvetadze, Georges Mikautadze, and Giorgi Kochorashvili.

The Czech Republic managed 10 attempts, five on target, with Lukáš Kalvach scoring their only goal. The match was officiated by Orel Grinfeld.
