Czech Republic vs Slovakia Prediction & Betting tips
In the Nations League, the situation comes to a head in many groups before the last match day. So also in season B2, in which both the promoted and relegated have not yet been determined.
In the duel between the neighboring countries between the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the betting odds are clearly on the side of the home team, which can still have a say in the fight for group victory.
For Slovakia, it’s about bare survival, because relegation to Group C is anything but desirable for the EM starter. In order to escape the last group place, you need a brilliant performance against your western neighbor. However, the bookmakers estimate the probability of this to be devastatingly low, but provide the outsider with extremely high odds.
The best betting providers give in the duel Czech Republic vs. Slovakia thus made a prognosis for a home win. This assessment is by no means surprising, as the Silhavy-Elf presented themselves convincingly recently.
Czech Republic:
Although both direct duels with group leaders Scotland were lost, thanks to a flawless record in the other games and one or two slip by the British, the Czech Republic is still a candidate for promotion to Group A.
Before the last day of play, the Scots are missing a point. A win in the final game between the Czech Republic and Slovakia is, according to current odds, actually a clear thing and also an obligation to put the group leader under pressure.
Apart from the home game against Scotland, when the Czech Republic had to compete in the A team with a C team due to an infection, the team of coach Silhavy has won all competitive games at home for two years.
Consequently, a win against Slovakia at the end of the season should be easy. Already in the away game you were hardly challenged against the neighbors and triumphed 3-1 with confidence. A similar result would probably not surprise anyone on Thursday.
The Czechs are most likely to have to worry about their back team, which has not conceded a goal in the seven games of the season so far. In return, the offensive made at least one goal in five games of the season. The last home game without a goal was more than four years ago.
In the game Czech Republic vs. Slovakia is a tip for a home win in principle promising, but due to low odds, such a tip is hardly lucrative. It is more worthwhile to bet on a two-sided goal, which from a statistical point of view also has excellent prospects of success.
Slovakia :
The Slovaks have a difficult time in the second edition of the Nations League and are about to relegate to Group C. The fact that there is still a chance of staying up at all is thanks to the surprising victory against leaders Scotland last Sunday.
Should Slovakia actually relegate, reaching the European Championship 2021 can still be booked as a success of the season, because both Ireland and Northern Ireland were defeated in the playoff for the last starting places.
What can Hamsik and Co. do against the neighbors in the emotionally charged classic? A victory is needed, that is clear! In a direct duel, this was last achieved in a friendly match in 2015.
It will undoubtedly be difficult to take anything countable against the home-strong Czechs. However, the Slovaks can build on a reliable attack, which in 2020 initially failed to score. The challenge can therefore be located primarily in defensive work.
Although you have a real gem in the team in Inter defender Skriniar, the back line is the big building site for this team. Eight goals conceded in the previous five Nations League games make regular success difficult.
