On a good run of form lately, Slovakia have delivered a couple of vital wins over the past two weeks, to build confidence in their camp. Thanks to a dramatic extra-time win over Northern Ireland few days ago, Sokoli will be making an appearance in next summer’s European Championship.

Now resuming Nations League duty in midweek, Slovakia must deliver a win versus Czech Republic, to place themselves in a good position to avoid relegation from League B. With a lot to play for both sides, brace yourselves for a nerve-cracking ninety minutes in Pilsen.

One of the better sides in Group B2, Czech Republic are pushing really hard for promotion to the elite league ahead of the UNL’s next edition. They are already on the right path to achieving just that, but will need one extra push on this last matchday.

There is no doubting their quality on the ball. When these players are in their groove, they are almost impossible to stop. We have seen them produce some top-drawer performances, and results to go with, over the course of this competition.

Stepping up their bid for promotion, Czech Republic played host to Israel on the last matchday, looking to bring their relatively weaker opposition to their knees. In inspired form on the day, an early Darida strike was enough to secure all three points for the home side.

After the restart, Israel had looked a much better side, pressing forward in numbers for that evasive equalizing goal. Ultimately, Abd Elhamed received his marching orders from the referee, for a cynical foul, throwing his side in the lurch.

Staying stuck in at the back for the rest of the game, Silhavy’s men safely posted all three points. Placed second on the log, these lot have garnered nine points from five games – only one behind table-toppers Scotland. As such, a win in this fixture could propel them to top-spot.

That said, it will be a difficult challenge for the Czechs to see off this rejuvenated Slovakia side, who have emerged victorious in their previous two games on the spin. They pulled off a shock 1-0 win over Scotland last time out, but still remain rooted to the bottom of Group B2.

A point adrift of third-placed Israel, the Falcons will be gunning for nothing but victory in this fixture, to ensure they escape relegation waters. While at it, Slovakia will be banking on Scotland to take Israel to the cleaners in their own fixture.

Czech Republic vs Slovakia Predictions

With things very intricate at this point, all the four teams in this group are relying on one another to achieve their respective aims. Neither of these two sides can afford defeat in this fixture, if they are to end the UNL on a good note.

As such, we can expect a ballsy affair with the both teams going all out for nothing, in a win or nothing scenario. With goals unlikely to be in short supply, the safest punt will be wagering over 2.5 goals between the opposing sides.
