Czech Republic host Georgia in the final round of Nations League B on Tuesday, 19 November. Group B1’s final matchday is set for an electrifying conclusion, as all four teams remain in contention for a top-two spot. Czechia dropped two points in the last game against Albania while the Crusaders concluded a draw against Ukraine.
Czech Republic vs Georgia: Match Preview
Although the Czech Republic sit at the top of Group B1, their narrow one-point lead over second and third place may not be secure enough. Czechia have recorded a mix of two victories, two draws and a defeat in five rounds of Nations League. After successive wins on the second and third matchday, stalemates against Ukraine and Albania impacted their advancement. However, a home advantage on Tuesday gives them a boost in confidence over the successive victories in front of the home fans.
Georgia also started the campaign in good fashion with two successive victories against Albania and Czech Republic. However, the momentum didn’t hold for long, having only one point in the previous three matches. The Crusaders were down to 0-1 against Ukraine previously in just the seventh minute but Mikautadze’s late strike rescued Georgia for a 1-1 draw. Currently second, the visitors need to consolidate their position of promotion with a positive outcome.
Czech Republic vs Georgia: Head-to-Head Record
Czech Republic are winless in the two H2H meetings against Georgia, losing the previous one in September. Two teams also encountered in Euro this year and ended the game without a winner with a 1-1 scoreline.
