Czech Republic vs Ukraine Prediction & Betting tips
UEFA has launched the Nations League, a new competition for the men’s national teams of the Association, which will largely replace the partly unpopular test or friendlies from the current season. The total of 55 associations will compete against each other in four leagues, which have been put together according to the UEFA national team coefficient ranking. While the German team, together with teams such as France, England, Spain and Belgium in the strongest league A competing, the teams from the Czech Republic and Ukraine, who just missed their qualification for the World Cup finals in Russia in third place, in the League B is grouped.
The last two teams meet on 06.09.2018 at 19:45 clock in the Městský fotbalový stadion Miroslava Valenty of Uherské Hradiště in the first group match each other. On the part of the bookmakers, the Czech Republic is slightly favored for bets against Ukraine, which is probably due mainly to the home advantage. We from the betting base can not really agree with this view of the good performances of the Ukrainians during the last World Cup qualification and the last friendlies and recommend for the game Czech Republic against Ukraine a safe bet on the away win.
Czech Republic:
The Czech national team narrowly missed the World Cup finals in Russia. The task was also very difficult. The first place was almost forgiven from the outset to the DFB team, so that it could go for the Czechs at best for second place. Here, however, the Northern Irish team turned out to be the stronger team, which had four more points in the end. Thus, the Red-Blue had to settle for third place with a record of four wins, three draws and three defeats and a goal difference of 17:10. Interesting for our tip is the home record of the World Cup qualification. For here the team of national coach Karel Jarolim lost only the game against former world champion Germany (1: 2). However, the Czech selection could only go against Norway (2: 1) and San Marino (5: 0) with victories. Against Northern Ireland and Azerbaijan, however, it was only enough for a goalless draw.
In November last year, the Jarolim team then completed two friendlies against Iceland and Qatar, both of which were won. As part of the China Cup in March of this year, it was against Uruguay a smooth 1: 4 defeat before hosts China could be beaten 4-1. In June, the Czech team lost the surprise test against Australia 4-0, although both teams were on equal terms and the match could well have ended with a draw. A little rehabilitation could run the Red-Blue then a few days later against Nigeria. Because this so far last test could be won just with 1: 0. But even here a draw would have been a fair result.
Ukraine:
The national team of Ukraine had caught within the last World Cup qualification a quite feasible group and speculated therefore also on the second place. But Iceland and later vice-world champion Croatia were ultimately just stronger and left the Ukrainians with a record of five wins, two draws and three defeats and a goal difference of 13: 9 the ungrateful third place. The away games lost against Iceland (0: 2) and Croatia (0: 1). However, the team of head coach Andrij Shevchenko played well in both games and also acted with the eventual runner-up at least on equal terms. So had the blue-yellow in both games, the larger game shares and a number of high-profile opportunities to record. This also applied to the match against the Turkish selection, which ended after a two-goal lead with a 2-2 draw. The games against Finland (2: 1) and Kosovo (2: 0) could be won deservedly.
Since the missed World Cup qualification the Shevchenko team completed five friendly matches, none of which was lost. Still in the old year it was against Slovakia, which narrowly missed the World Cup as the worst runner-up to qualifying. In a balanced game, the Ukrainians won 2-1. In March of this year, it went against World Cup participants Saudi Arabia, against which it was enough despite a strong performance only to a 1: 1 draw. Japan, which was also represented in Russia, was beaten 2-1 a few days later. In May, then a showdown with Morocco, which ended with a goalless draw, before it was against Albania a clear 4: 1 victory. Matchwinners were Konoplyanka (FC Schalke 04) and Yarmolenko (West Ham United), who both scored twice. Compared to the Czech Republic, Ukraine is, according to the betting odds of the bookmakers, equipped with fewer chances to win, which makes a tip on the away win a little more lucrative.
