Georgia vs Czechia Prediction: Both teams need a victory to realistically contend for advancing from the group.
Georgia
The Georgian national team has qualified for a major football tournament for the first time in its history. In the qualifying round, Georgia finished fourth in their group, behind Spain, Scotland, and Norway. Nonetheless, their successful performance in the Nations League allowed the "Crusaders" to try their luck in the playoffs.
In their first playoff match, Georgia defeated Luxembourg 2-0, and in the playoff final, they overcame Greece in a penalty shootout. The Georgians pleasantly surprised with their performance in the first round against Turkey. Willy Sagnol's team ultimately lost 1-3, conceding the third goal into an empty net in stoppage time. Nevertheless, the Georgian team won many hearts with their dedication on the field.
Czechia
The Czech national team finished second in their qualifying group, trailing Albania and ahead of Poland. After securing their spot in Euro 2024, the "National Team" played four friendly matches, defeating Norway, Armenia, Malta, and North Macedonia. Admittedly, these opponents were not of the highest caliber.
However, in the first round against a truly top-tier opponent in Portugal, Ivan Hašek's team put up a real fight against the "Navigators." Thanks to a goal by Provod, the Czech team took the lead in the middle of the first half, but the Portuguese quickly equalized with an own goal. Ultimately, a precise strike by Conceição in the second minute of added time secured victory for the favorites.
