Czech Republic Preview – Czechs to do their bit on home turf?
Jaroslav Silhavy’s Czech Republic have every chance of securing promotion to Nations League A on the final day. Last weekend’s results have blown the group wide open, with the Czechs now just one point behind Scotland in the Group B2 standings.
Czech Republic have had a mixed bag of results, winning three and drawing two of five. They started with an excellent 3-1 win over Slovakia in Bratislava but were beaten at home by the Scots in game two.
The Czechs returned to winning ways on matchday three, securing a 2-1 win over Israel in Haifa. However, a 1-0 loss to Scotland at Hampden Park almost ended their promotion hopes. After last weekend’s results, though, Czech Republic will go through to League A if Scotland fail to win and they beat the Slovaks in Plzen.
Slovakia Preview – Slovaks to drop down to League C?
Slovakia went into the 2020-21 Nations League campaign full of hope and expectation. However, they have gone on to pick up just four points from a possible 15 so far. If the Slovaks do not win on Wednesday, Stefan Tarkovic’s boys will be relegated to League C.
After an opening day defeat to Czech Republic at Tehelne pole in Bratislava, Slovakia conceded right at the death to only draw 1-1 with Israel in Netanya on matchday two. The Falcons then suffered back-to-back defeat to the Scots and Israelis.

Nevertheless, the Slovaks restored some pride with a hard-fought 1-0 home win over leaders Scotland last time out. Jan Gregus’ first-half strike proved to be enough at the Anton Malatinsky Stadium in Trnava. Can they cause an upset and win in Plzen this Wednesday?
Czech Republic vs Slovakia Betting Advice
Czech Republic were far too strong for Slovakia in the reverse game. Goals from Vladimir Coufal, Borek Dockal and Michael Krmencik put the away team 3-0 up, with the hosts scoring a consolation goal with two minutes left on the clock.
