Georgia vs Czechia Prediction & Picks - Euro
by Dan Angell | in Euro Picks
Georgia meets Czechia in the second match of Group F, with both sides badly needing a win after dropping their opening match. However, the way that they lost was very different. Czechia appeared to want to follow neighbor Slovakia's tactics of stealing a goal and holding on against a European giant. It followed that Portugal would eventually seize control, given how many chances the Czechs allowed at the net.
Georgia, conversely, played like it had nothing to lose. The Crusaders knew they were never likely to get through the group stage and viewed this as preparation for attempting to qualify for the World Cup in 2026. And playing freely seemed to open things up for Georgia, which were unlucky not to get something out of the match with Turkey. The scoreline read 3-1, but that was deceptive because the Georgians missed multiple chances to equalize and only gave up the third goal when they pulled keeper Giorgi Mamardashvili up for a pair of set pieces and left the net vacant. With victory against Portugal a remote possibility, this represents by far Georgia's best hope to leave Euros with a result.

Georgia - Czechia: Form Analysis
The days of Petr Cech keeping clean sheets are long gone from Prague. Lately, when the Czechs take the field, you can count on seeing the ball in their net at least once. Over the Czechs' past 11 matches, nine of them have seen them concede at least one goal. The only exceptions were home matches with minnows Moldova and Faroe Islands, both of which rank outside the top 100. Otherwise, most opponents hit the Czechs for one goal.
Georgia also have a tendency to see both teams find the net. The Crusaders have scored in nine of their past 10 matches, and the lone exception came in a scoreless draw with Greece where they were nervously trying to clinch qualification to Euros. Even in a seven-goal rout at the hands of Spain, Georgia still breached the Spanish defense to find a marker.

Georgia & Czechia Squad Analysis
Forward Patrik Schick is on a yellow card for Czechia, while defender Solomon Kvirkvelia is on a yellow card for Georgia. Schick came off three minutes after his card against Portugal, and given how little he provided in his hour, it wouldn't be a shock to see the Czechs try something else. Kvirkvelia came off at the 85th minute mark when Georgia was pushing to level the match; he's key to the Georgian defensive strategy.

Our Georgia vs Czechia Prediction
To steal a line from George Strait, Georgia's not here for a long time, it's here for a good time. The Georgians have no incentive to sit back and try to grind out a scoreless draw; they know that won't do anything to help them. Their goal is to learn where they can improve so that they can realistically qualify for future World Cups and Euros.
That means playing an attacking style that rewards taking chances and pressing for a result. The Czechs, conversely, have every reason to match Georgia's aggressive style. They need three points to have any hope of advancing, and they've made advancing a major goal. With Turkey still to come, the Czechs will like their chances of getting four points and making it out of the group in no worse than third place. They obviously can't win without scoring, so they should be on the attack from the opening whistle. Our prediction for Georgia vs. Czechia is Both Teams to Score.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia Anytime Goal Scorer
Because he touches the ball so often and because Georgia is the unfancied team, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia usually goes off at excellent odds to put the ball in the net. He hasn't yet scored in a Georgian shirt in 2024, but the man known as Kvaradona scored in four straight matches to end Georgia's 2023. He's going to find his scoring form at some point, and this is a likely time for that.
