Czech Republic take on the visitors North Macedonia in a Friendly International match. The match will be played on Monday, June 10th at Malsovicka arena (Hradec Kralove).
The Czech Republic managed to secure a spot in the Euro in Germany by finishing second in their qualifying group. They amassed the same number of points as Albania but were edged out by their rivals based on additional criteria. Ivan Hašek's side has shown prowess in attack, but their defense leaves much to be desired. During the qualifiers, for instance, they conceded goals against Poland (3-1 and 1-1) and Albania (1-1 and 0-3). After the qualification cycle, the Czech team played three friendly matches, winning all three but conceding a goal in each: 2-1 against Norway, 2-1 against Armenia, and 7-1 against Malta.

North Macedonia fails to repeat previous success and misses out on Euro in Germany. North Macedonia could not replicate their previous success and missed out on a place at the European Championship in Germany. In their last two friendlies, the team suffered shutout losses to Montenegro (0-1) and Croatia (0-3). Consequently, bookmakers are offering favorable odds for a North Macedonia goal against the Czechs. Personally, I believe they are likely to score. The "Red Lions" have proven their ability to find the net in various matches. Examples include their Euro qualifying games against Italy (1-1 and 2-5), England (1-1), and Ukraine (2-3), as well as friendlies against Armenia (3-1) and Moldova (1-1).
Final friendly before euro is critical for czech players to avoid injury. For the Czech players, the main objective in their final friendly before the start of the Euro is to avoid injuries. In such a scenario, the result of the match becomes secondary. Based on this, I believe it is quite likely that North Macedonia will manage to score at least once against the hosts. Especially considering that the Czech team has been conceding goals to almost every opponent in 2024. There is nothing catastrophic if this match follows the same trend. My prediction is "Visitors to Score: YES."
Prediction for the match: North Macedonia to score – yes.
