Both teams are in a difficult situation after losing the opening games, and this one will feel like a fight for third place in the group and hopefully a place in the next stage. Georgia and the Czech Republic will collide on June 22nd at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg.
Georgia vs Czech Republic: Initial situation
Georgia made it to their first appearance at the EURO after finishing fourth in their group, which put them in a position to be a major underdog in every game of the group. Still, they played quite well against Georgia and will be competitive in this game as well. The Czech Republic almost won a point against Portugal but failed to defend on the final possession.
Georgia Stats & Form
Georgia managed to score in the game against Turkey, but the opponent was simply too good. The Georgian defense was not on the required level for this big of a tournament, and that is something they will need to correct going into the second matchday. That was Georgia’s fourth loss in the last ten games. They came into the tournament with three consecutive wins, including a 3-1 win over Montenegro in the last friendly game before going to Germany. In seven of Georgia’s last ten games, there were more than 3,5 goals in total.
Czech Republic Stats & Form
The Czech Republic took a 1-0 lead against Portugal with less than 30 minutes left in the game, but they could not hold on to the lead and lost the game with a late goal in stoppage time. It is a disappointing loss that will be tough to recover from, but they have no choice but to focus on the next game. That was the first loss for the Czech Republic after five consecutive wins and only the second in the last ten games. This team was very impressive going into the tournament, defeating North Macedonia 2-1 and Malta 7-1 in friendly games. The last six games and seven of the last ten games have seen more than 2.5 goals in total.

Betting tip and prediction: Georgia vs Czech Republic (22.06.2024)
Both teams will have to go all-in in this game since an eventual loss will most likely mean they will be done in the group stage.
The Czech Republic was in a great situation after an hour of play against Portugal, but everything went downhill after they took the lead. They will need to quickly forget about the disappointing loss and focus on the game against Georgia, which has a real chance of winning.
However, Georgia is a tough opponent despite their 3-1 loss to Turkey in the opening matchday. They have a couple of great players, such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giorgi Chakvetadze, who can create scoring opportunities against anybody.
The fact that these two teams have never played against each other before makes the game a little more difficult to predict. Given the odds, the Czech Republic is a major favorite, but that doesn’t guarantee them anything.
It is basically a “win or go home” situation for both teams, and Georgia will not accept losing the game without a fight. Looking at their previous games, a lot of goals have been scored, which is the case with the Czech Republic as well. Therefore, we go with both teams to score in this one.
