Czech Republic – Can Czech Republic draw level with England?
Group A is rather predictably headed by England in what is another weak qualifying group for the Three Lions, but Czech Republic with 3 points to their name have emerged as England’s closest rivals at the top of the group despite being handed a 5-0 rout at the hands of England in their opening group match at Wembley.
It was admittedly the very worst start possible for the Czech Republic but they did bounce back with a 2-1 home win over Bulgaria and they’ll hold home advantage once again for this Monday night’s clash with Montenegro.
The hosts will certainly be looking to make the most of being on home turf against a Montenegro outfit who sit bottom of the pile, and although they’ve posted mixed results in recent times with losses to Germany, Ukraine and Brazil, wins against San Marino, Slovakia and latterly, Bulgaria will give them confidence of getting the job done here this evening.
Forwards Schick and Vydra are useful attacking personnel for the hosts who’ll be looking to boost their goal tallies in this clash.
Montenegro Prediction – Can Montenegro break Czech Rep strangle-hold?
Montenegro sit bottom of Group A with just 2 points to their name thanks to draws with Bulgaria and Kosovo, but along with those aforementioned nations, Montenegro are still without a win after playing three group matches to date.
Draws either side of a heavy 5-1 loss at home to England has ensured a rather ordinary start to the visitors’ Euro 2020 campaign, and they make their way over to the Czech Republic having registered just 2 wins out of their last 15 matches overall on the international stage.
These wins came in the shape of home and away wins against Lithuania in the Nations League, but aside from those rare victories, there’s been very little for the Montenegro camp to cheer about in recent times.
Recent results away from home though have been a little more encouraging as Montenegro have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 6 away matches which was a 2-1 loss at Serbia but a 4-1 win at Lithuania along with 4 draws at Cyprus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Romania and Bulgaria will give them reasonable hope of getting something in this clash with Czech Republic.
Key-Facts – Czech Rep v Montenegro
- Czech Republic can draw level on points with England with a win here
- Montenegro have registered just 2 wins out of their last 15 matches overall
- Czech Republic have won both of the previous encounters against Montenegro
Betting Tips Verdict
Czech Republic with home advantage should be able to grab the points here.
