Czech Republic vs Ukraine Prediction: A tasty 14/1 bet builder to consider

Czech Republic take on Ukraine in Nations League Group B1 on Tuesday, 10th September. The Czechs need a response after a  4-1 defeat away to Georgia but they are joined on zero points by Ukraine, who lost 2-1 to Albania on neutral soil, ironically at Prague’s epet Arena.  

Both will aim to bounce back in a contest which kicks off at 7.45pm at the Fortuna Arena in the Czech Republic capital.

Team News

Left wing-back Matej Rynes suffered a back injury at the weekend and is a major doubt. His absence could open up a starting slot in the Czech side for Jaroslav Zeleny. 

Ukraine have reported no fresh injuries but they are without key attackers Artem Dovbyk and Mykhaylo Mudryk, who pulled out of the squad last week.

Czech Republic are 13/10 to secure the home win and Ukraine are a 21/10 chance. It is a 12/5 shot that the spoils are shared.

Over 2.5 goals can be backed at 5/6 and a 2-1 home win is priced up at 8/1.

Czech Republic to win @ 13/10

Czech Republic head coach Ivan Hasek is under massive pressure after his team's 4-1 loss away to Georgia but he can come up with a winning formula against Ukraine in Prague. 

Hasek's side were disappointing at Euro 2024, taking only one point, but they usually get on the scoresheet and can rely on their star forward Patrik Schick, who netted five times at Euro 2020 and once at Euro 2024. 

Ukraine also suffered a group stage elimination this summer and they followed with a 2-1 Nations League loss to Albania. 

They are weakened by the absences of influential attackers Dovbyk and Mudryk and could be edged aside in an entertaining contest. 

PickYourPunt - Czech Republic to score over 1.5 goals, Patrick Schick to score the first goal and both teams to score @ 14/1 

Schick has been the Czech Republic's talisman in recent years and he could get the ball rolling for them against Ukraine by scoring the opening goal. 

The Bayer Leverkusen player has been restricted to a substitute's role at the start of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season, but he has netted 20 goals in 41 internationals. 

The Czechs have scored in each of their last 11 matches and could bag at least a couple against Ukraine, who defended poorly in their weekend loss to Albania. 

Ukraine's head coach Sergiy Rebrov favours an attacking approach and his team can contribute to the entertainment by getting on the scoresheet. 

Punters can profit from a high-scoring home success by selecting a multiple featuring Schick to notch first, the Czechs to score more than one goal and both teams to score.
