Czech Republic Preview – Will the Czechs move on to ten points?
Jaroslav Silhavy’s Czech Republic have had a mixed bag of results up until now. The Czechs have won two, lost two and drawn one, sitting in second place with seven points to their name.
Czech Republic opened up with a 6-2 win in Estonia before drawing 1-1 with Belgium in game two. On matchday three, the Czechs were narrowly beaten in Cardiff, which could turn out to be a pivotal result in the group. Since then, Silhavy’s troops have beaten Belarus and lost to the Belgians.
Czech Republic will be out for revenge from last March’s 1-0 loss at the Cardiff City Stadium. They are the home team and will fancy their chances of getting the job done in Prague.
Wales Preview – Can the Dragons fire themselves into second?
After starting with a 3-1 loss in Belgium, Wales have hit back by taking seven points from a possible nine. They have played a game less than the Czechs, who are only above the Dragons on goal difference.
After beating Czech Republic at home in March, Wales resumed their qualifying campaign last month with a dramatic victory over Belarus. Gareth Bale was the hero in the match in Kazan, scoring a hat-trick to earn the Welsh a much-needed 3-2 victory. However, they only managed to follow that up with a goalless draw with the Estonians in Cardiff a few days later.

This will be another hard assignment for Page’s men, but a win would put them in pole position to take second place. Even a draw would be a good result for the Dragons.
Czech Republic vs Wales Betting Advice
As expected before a ball was kicked, the March meeting between the two was a tight and tense affair. It looked to be heading for a goalless draw at the Cardiff City Stadium, but Dan James had other ideas. The attacker netted with eight minutes to go to give Wales a 1-0 victory.
Key Facts – Czech Republic vs Wales Betting Tip
- Wales won the reverse meeting in Cardiff by a goal to nil
- Both nations are on seven points in Group E
- The Dragons have won just two of their last nine
As we touched on, a draw would be a decent result for Wales, but Page’s boys will be looking for maximum points in Prague. The away win is nicely priced at 17/4.
Gareth Bale has so often been Wales’ saviour throughout the years, and the Real Madrid man scored a treble in their last away qualifier. However, he will miss the October qualifiers through injury. Wales will be looking elsewhere for goals, and Cardiff City’s Kieffer Moore is available at 9/1 to open the scoring in Prague.
