Comments and predictions for Czech Republic vs Georgia: Narrow victory

When the Czech Republic and Georgia face off on Tuesday evening, a win for either side will see them secure promotion to League A of the UEFA Nations League.

Both teams drew in the penalty shootout last weekend, with the Czech Republic now leading by a point. However, Albania and Ukraine still have a chance to challenge for the top spot.

Latest Czech Republic vs Georgia team information

The Czech Republic will be without Patrik Schick for the second consecutive international break, with the Bayer Leverkusen striker staying in Germany to recover from a minor injury amid reports of a rift with coach Ivan Hasek.

In Schick's absence, Tomas Chory will continue to lead the line, supported by Rangers winger Vaclav Cerny. Players such as Lukas Provod, Adam Hlozek and Ondrej Lingr are competing for a starting spot up front.

The hosts are without injured defence trio Ladislav Krejci, Martin Vitik and David Zima, so the back four that kept a clean sheet against Albania will continue to start ahead of goalkeeper Matej Kovar.

Meanwhile, defender Saba Goglichidze is the most notable absentee from Georgia's squad, and their back three is likely to remain unchanged. In addition, goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is set to move to Liverpool, will continue in goal.

Euro 2024 co-top scorer Georges Mikautadze started the match against Ukraine on the bench, but he hopes his 15th international goal will be enough to regain his starting place in attack.

Although the Lyon striker has scored three goals in Group 1 so far, Napoli star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has yet to score for his country since converting a penalty against the Czech Republic in early September.

Latest expected lineup Czech Republic vs Georgia

Czech Republic:

Kovar; Coufal, Jemelka, Holes, Boril; Soucek, Cerv; Cerny, Sulc, Provod; Chory

Georgia:

Mamardashvili; Kvirkvelia, Kashia, Locoshvili; Kakabadze, Kochorashvili, Kiteischvili, Shengelia; Chakvetadze, Kvaratskhelia; Mikautadze

Latest football commentary Czech Republic vs Georgia

At the end of a dramatic final round of matches, both matches on Saturday ended in draws, leaving all four teams in Group 1 separated by just three points.

The Czech Republic drew goalless with Albania, who they beat 2-0 at home last month, a result that kept them at the top of the group by a slim margin.

As a result, Ivan Hasek's side could decide their own fate with one game remaining, something that had looked unlikely after they lost 4-1 to Georgia in their first game of the 2024-25 campaign.

In that match, Hasek's side conceded three goals in just 12 minutes of the second half, but a strong comeback afterwards gave them confidence they could avenge their loss in the rematch on Tuesday.

After beating Ukraine in a five-goal game, the Czech Republic moved ahead of Georgia with four points from two games in October, and a further point from Ukraine kept them top.

Therefore, they still have a chance of promotion to League A in their first appearance, but in such a tight group, they could still finish third.

Georgia are currently in the promotion playoff spot and will face the bottom of League A in March, but a win would almost certainly see them top of the table.

However, if they lose in Olomouc, Ukraine or Albania could overtake them in the final round of the promotion race.

Third place also means a relegation playoff, so there will be plenty up for grabs when Willy Sagnol's side travel to the Andruv Stadion.

After qualifying for Euro 2024 via the Nations League, where they made their mark by reaching the last 16, Georgia bounced back with two consecutive wins in September. However, two defeats last month halted their progress.

Then a 1-1 draw with Ukraine in Batumi on Saturday - with Georges Mikautadze equalising deep into the second half - kept Ukraine in the game and left Georgia's future in uncertainty.
