Czech Republic vs Portugal Prediction

• Where: Fortuna Arena, Prague, Czech Republic
• When: Saturday, September 24, 9:45 pm CET

Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates travel to the Czech Republic to face the hosts, who desperately need a win in this one. However, Portugal, too, needs three points out of this event, to keep pace with the top-seeded Spain, which currently has one point more than its Western neighbors. Meanwhile, the Czechs are a step ahead of the Swiss unit, meaning that the relegation is awfully close, and nobody in Jarosal Silhavy’s crew wants to see that happening.

Czech Republic vs. Portugal Preview

Czech Republic

The hosts will have their best striker Patrik Schick again at their disposal after a long time. Leverkusen’s top striker and one of the best in Europe is back following a pause, which significantly boosted the morale of the Czech team.

They have no option but to attack and go after three points, yet they will need to be very careful because Portugal has an incredibly potent attack and midfield. We’ve seen the Czechs very good at the recent EURO, displaying very modern and fluid football with lots of running and pressure.

Though they didn’t reach the World Cup, and that’s why keeping the place in the A division of European football is a must. Schick’s comeback should improve the attach, who couldn’t score in the previous 180 minutes, with the Czechs losing to Spain and Portugal with the same result, 2-0, both events on the road.

Portugal

We don’t need to say too much about Portugal, who is one of the best teams in the world, you already know quite a lot about this crew.

They opened UNL on the road in Spain, 1-1, then won two games, both at home, 4-0 against Switzerland and 2-0 over the Czechs, but lost the most recent one against the Swiss rivals, this time on the road, 1-0.

Ronaldo and the boys play very tough and intense football, implementing lots of tactics, all in order to control the flow of the match. Four of the past five games ended with under 2.5 goals, and in the same number, we saw just one side netting. On three occasions, Portugal was the one who kept clean sheets.
