Czech Republic vs North Macedonia Prediction & Match Preview

Czech Republic vs North Macedonia Prediction

Czechia started their 2024 Euro preparations with a 7-1 drubbing of Malta on Friday. They will be looking to back up such a marvellous showing with another commanding victory three days later. The Czechs will host North Macedonia on Monday afternoon at Malsovicka Arena in Hradec Kralove.

• Czechia have won all three games this year under new manager Ivan Hasek.
• North Macedonia go into this off the back of five consecutive winless games.
• Each of Czechia’s last four games produced three or more goals.

Football fans in Czechia were surprised to see the managerial change at the start of this year. Nevertheless, the appointment of Ivan Hasek as the new head coach has only brought positives so far. Hasek has led Czechia to three wins in three games, including a 2-1 victory over Norway in Oslo in March this year.

The story is entirely different with North Macedonia. They extended the winless streak to five games in all competitions seven days ago. Blagoja Milevski’s troops fell 0-3 to Croatia on Monday evening in Rijeka.

Recent Meetings

• Czechia celebrated two comprehensive wins over North Macedonia in the 2006 World Cup qualifications.
• The Czechs have bagged eight goals past the North Macedonians over two games on the occasion.
• Two of the last three H2H affairs between these rivals saw goals scored at both ends.

Verdict

Everything points towards another strong performance from the Czechs here. The hosts are flying high with three wins on the trot in this year’s exhibitions. They’ve scored at least two goals in each of these three victories, including seven in the last week’s drubbing of Malta.

North Macedonia had a disappointing qualifying campaign and they will not feature in the 2024 Euro. They will come into this off the back of five straight winless affairs across competitions. The latest of the failures was the last week’s 0-3 defeat to Croatia. You can back Czechia to win by two or more goals difference at the 2.40 odds.

We’ve seen at least three goals in each of Czechia’s last four matches in all competitions. North Macedonia conceded six goals when they last visited Czechia in 2005. They also shipped three goals seven days ago in Croatia. We see merit in backing the Over 2.5 goals bet at the 1.85 odds.
