take on in the round 3 match of UEFA Euro-2024 group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 26th at Volksparkstadion (Hamburg).
The Czech Republic remembers their success from three years ago. The "Locomotives" reached the quarter-finals in the previous Euros, largely thanks to Schick's goals. However, they then missed out on the World Cup, which has become a familiar disappointment. Last year, they managed to leave crisis-ridden Poland behind, along with Albania (to whom they actually lost 0-3!). They played confidently and spectacularly in friendly matches, usually winning 2-1, but also thrashing Malta 7-1. Last week, Ivan Hašek's team faced the nominal favorite of the group, Portugal. Despite a strong fight and even taking the lead, they eventually self-sabotaged with a couple of own goals and lost meekly. Next, they faced the debutant Georgia but could only draw, conceding from an unnecessary penalty due to a handball in their own box.

The "Janissaries" were participants in the previous championship but lost all three matches with dreadful performances. Coach Kuntz brought some order but failed to secure a spot in the World Cup and had mixed results in the Euro qualifiers. Consequently, he was replaced urgently last fall by Montella. In his initial matches, primarily due to a victory over Croatia, he secured Turkey's ticket to Germany. They even managed to defeat Germany in a friendly in Berlin. However, since the 1-1 draw with Wales in November, a winless streak persisted until the current championship. They started the tournament against the newcomer, Georgia, and despite all the caveats, managed a 3-1 win. Their next opponent was the star-studded Portugal, and they had nothing to offer, losing 0-3 with an extremely foolish own goal.
In 2013-2014, the Czechs won twice in a row. However, in the three subsequent matches, the victories went to the "Janissaries." The teams are roughly equal in strength and both need points, with the "Locomotives" particularly in need of a win. We are betting on "total over 2.5 goals."
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
