Georgia vs Czechia | Euro 2024 Prediction

🏆 Georgia vs Czechia Prediction

Georgia more than played their part in their 3-1 defeat against Turkey at the Westfalenstadion, in what was arguably the game of the tournament so far. They boasted 48% possession during the 90 minutes, for example, and completing an impressive 89% of their attempted passes. They also completed 21 dribbles, and troubled the Turks with their direct and aggressive playing style.

Although Portugal needed a stoppage time Francisco Conceição goal to defeat the Czechs, Ivan Hašek’s side were forced to perform a defensive rearguard throughout. They attempted 34 clearances during the 90 minutes, which remains the highest number of any team to have only played one match at Euro 2024. They also had just 31% possession and initiated only 19 attacks (a tournament low).

Of course, I’d expect them to play with more attacking intent against Georgia, but they may struggle to cope with their opponent’s enterprising and high tempo style. At the same time, Czechia will be buoyed by the fact that Turkey were able to generate an xG of 2.73 against Willy Sagnol’s men, so there are vulnerabilities to exploit if they can sustain possession in Georgia’s defensive third.

Turkey were in part able to achieve this through a strategic high press, which created a field tilt of 63.71% (compared to 36.29% for Georgia). The real question here is whether the Czech Republic can play in the same way, as they lack genuine pace and flair in the attacking third. I’m not sure they can, but they retain enough quality and defensive organisation to at least secure a draw in Hamburg.

1️⃣ Georgia Update

Following their defeat against Turkey in the first round of group stage matches at Euro 2024, underdogs Georgia have now won just four of their previous 10 matches overall. This sequence has included a loss to Norway and two defeats against Spain, the first of which saw Georgia thrashed 7-1 in front of their own fans. Despite this and being the lowest ranked team at the Euros, however, Georgia played with real intent against Turkey and were unlucky to only score once in Dortmund. All-action forward Georges Mikautadze epitomised everything that was good about Georgia in this match, as he struck five attempts at goal and completed four dribbles as well as scoring his country’s first goal at a major finals.

Georgia have no new injury concerns after the match against Turkey, and manager Sagnol is widely expected to name an unchanged team in Hamburg. This means that the bustling Mikautadze will continue in attack alongside Georgia’s top active scorer Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, as part of a flexible 3-5-2 formation.

2️⃣ Czech Republic Update

Czechia arrived in Germany as one of Europe’s in-form teams, having won five successive matches in their tournament buildup. The defeat against Portugal also snapped an eight-match unbeaten run, dating back to October 13th, 2023 (when the Czechs lost 3-0 to Albania in Tirana). This was also the team’s sole defeat during Euro 2024 qualification, where they allowed their opponents a collective xG of just 5.1 across their eight games and conceded a paltry 20 shots on target. The team’s defensive organisation and resilience was certainly on show against the Portuguese, even though they eventually succumbed to an injury time goal. Centre back Robin Hranáč was particularly impressive in Leipzig, completing all six of his clearances and recovering three balls in total.

Czech keeper Jindrich Stanek also made seven saves against Portugal, the most in a single game at Euro 2024 so far. He’ll keep his place against Georgia, while coach Ivan Hašek may also be tempted to stick with the same 11 in Hamburg. This means that Schick will once again lead the line, while West Ham pair Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal will take their place in midfield.
