Georgia FC meets with Czech Republic FC with aims of finally scoring their first win in Euro 2024, and are looking to stand a chance for the next round. Heading into this match, both squads actually suffered losses, which puts them at the disadvantage. Georgia suffered a 3-1 loss against Turkey during their opener, which is not good for them. Due to this, Georgia needs to win in this match, in order to see if their have a chance for the next round. Meanwhile, for Czech Republic, it is the same as they succumbed to Portugal during their opener. Just like their opponents, Czech Republic needs to get all the maximum points here for a chance to advance. The meeting between these two teams is on June 22, 2024, at 9:00 PM (GMT+8).
Georgia FC
Georgia faced Turkey in their first European Championship campaign in Dortmund, with Georges Mikautadze scoring his country’s historic maiden goal at a major tournament. Georgia had 14 shots at goal, the most by any debutant since Austria in 2008. However, they were caught out twice more, including a late third for Turkey. Georgia must now try to become the third team to lose their first match at the Euros but still progress. Before meeting Portugal in their final group fixture, they will turn to Mikautadze and star man Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for inspiration against the Czechs. Georgia’s odds of 750-1 were available on lifting the Henri Delaunay trophy this summer, but even one point this weekend would keep dreams of reaching the knockout phase alive.
Georgia’s Willy Sagnol is unlikely to make significant changes to the starting XI after an impressive defeat to Turkey. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will join Georges Mikautadze in front, Giorgi Kochorashvili in midfield, and Luka Lochoshvili in defence.
Czech Republic FC
The Czech Republic’s hopes of reaching the last 16 are threatened by a draw and Turkey’s loss to Portugal. Despite scoring the opener, the Czech Republic allowed Portugal to enter their first Group F fixture. This is because of own goal from Robin Hranac and a goal from substitute Francisco Conceicao. The Czech Republic completed fewer passes than any team in the first round of matches at Euro 2024, and managed only eight touches in the opposition box. The 1996 runners-up have lost seven times in a dozen group matches since the 2008 finals, and one more setback could send them packing. A more positive approach against Georgia is expected, and playing more modest opponents should result in a change of emphasis.
Patrik Schick leads the Czech Republic’s squad with 19 goals. Meanwhile Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal will play central midfield and right wing-back roles. Jindrich Stanek made seven saves against Portugal, and Slavia Prague’s stopper provides the Czechs’ last line of defense.
