Czech Republic vs. Betting Tips Kosovo
The struggle for second place in Group A will go down to the wire, with both the Czech Republic and Kosovo in the race for a place in the Euro. Both compete to finish just behind the UK and join them in next summer's tournament, with their showdown this week set to decide who makes the cut. Used in the home can benefit the Czech Republic to get over the line, or will Kosovo continue to increase their tremendous victory in this trip?
The hosts are a point ahead of Kosovo following their victory against England in October. The hosts needed results that to stay ahead, but they suffered a setback with a home loss to Northern Ireland in their last game of the international break last month. Host in a friendly defeat to rob them of momentum heading into this crucial clash with Kosovo forward-thinking outfit.
Kosovo already has wrapped up a playoff spot for the Euro, but their chances of automatic qualification are looking better than expected. They have won four of their last five games to move into mix for both groups, but the chances of them making the top two come from a sustained period of good results. their turnaround kicked when they beat Latvia in 2017, and two years they have lost one of their last 18 games.
Kosovo needs to maintain the form that if they finish in the top two. They have only two matches left to turn around the deficit by one point. However, with a trip to the Czech Republic and clashes with the British to come visitors have a tough run-in. They need to take something in this clash, but they meet the Czech Republic who have scored in their last five qualifying games.
However, the shape of Kosovo has come from an impressive attacking display, scoring in 17 of their last 18. They scored in each of their long trip in this campaign. Meanwhile, the Czech Republic has seen both teams to score in four of their last five games at home. Given that Kosovo has seen both teams scored in five of their six games in this group, we think that BTTS is a valuable support in this one.
While Kosovo in good form, the hosts have won four of their last four qualifying matches to move into second. They are in form and aim for a fourth successive victory at home in qualifying. While we expect both teams to find the net, we will be with the Czech Republic on the edge of this one. We support a 2-1 win for the hosts, who have landed on two of the last three games host.
