On Tuesday, September 10, Czech Republic will face Ukraine at home in the second round of the UEFA Nations League, League B. Analysts from Dailysports have prepared a forecast and betting tips for this match.
Czech Republic
The Czech national team comfortably qualified for Euro 2024, but their performance at the tournament was disappointing. Ivan Hašek's side finished fourth in their group, behind Portugal, Georgia, and Turkey, failing to secure a single victory. A 1-1 draw against Georgia proved fatal to their hopes of advancing.
In the first round of the new Nations League campaign, Czech Republic faced Georgia again, but the result was even worse this time, suffering a humiliating 1-4 defeat. The upcoming match against Ukraine is critical for the Czechs, as another setback could severely damage their chances of success.
Ukraine
Ukraine finished behind England and Italy in their Euro 2024 qualifying group but made it to the tournament via the playoffs, defeating Bosnia and Herzegovina (2-1) and Iceland (2-1). However, at Euro 2024, Ukraine had a mixed campaign, starting with a shocking 0-3 loss to Romania. Although they followed up with a 2-1 win over Slovakia and a 0-0 draw against Belgium, all four teams in their group ended up with 4 points, and Ukraine missed out on the knockout stages due to an inferior goal difference.
Ukraine's start to the Nations League was also poor. Despite taking an early lead against Albania, they conceded twice and couldn't recover, losing 1-2.
