Right now, the Czechs have a deficit in the race for the knockout stage, which they need to cover. The only way to do so is to beat Turkey, who is currently ahead of them in the standings. The Turks can settle with one point because it would still keep them in the second spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If it weren’t for Georgia’s miraculous goalkeeper, Giorgi Mamardashvili, the Czech Republic would have three points now. He dazzled the world with his saves and shocked the Czech strikers, who didn’t know what hit them. But then again, we need to underline that Ivan Hasek’s guys played well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Czechs were also very good against Portugal, but in the decisive moments, they couldn’t handle Selecao’s pressure despite having the lead. But from what we saw, they have the quality to compete with Turkey. One statistical data for all the bettors – the last six games the Czech Republic played were with both teams netting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
