U21 forecast between Israel and Czech Republic 28.06.2023

EURO U21 is in opposition.
• Time: June 28, 2023.
• Kickoff time: 17:00 UK / 8:00 CEST
• Stadion Ramaz Shengelia( Kutaisi ) is the location.

The interesting final round of the group stage in Group C, where England U21 has already claimed the top spot and the remaining three teams are vying for second place, will take place on Wednesday evening. ,

Israel’s U21 finished 2nd in Group B of the EURO Qualifiers and then barely secured EURO by winning on penalties against Ireland U21 in the Playoffs. On EURO U21, Israel’s U21 won just one point in the first two games and now needs a win but also needs a good result in the other match in the Group. If Germany U21 wins against England U21, then the goal difference will be a deciding factor between Germany U21 and Israel’s U21 for second place. 

Just like Israel’s U21, U21 Czech Republic also had to go through the Playoff after finishing second in Group G of EURO Qualifiers, just three points fewer than England U21. They faced Iceland U21 in the Playoff, won 2:1 on aggregate, and secured EURO U21. After two games on EURO U21, U21 Czech Republic are in 2nd place with three points, but they are in an excellent position because they beat Germany U21, and now only one point is all they need to secure the Quarter-Finals.

Israel’s U21 vs U21 Czech Republic pick: U21 Czech Republic to (AH 0) win

When Israel’s U21 secured EURO U21, they won the next friendly match against Georgia U21, but since then, they were on a poor run. They failed to win in the next six games, including two games on EURO U21. The only point they won on this EURO was against Germany U21, but they were super lucky in that match. Germany U21 missed two penalties, had almost 80% ball possession, and many goalscoring chances. 

Israel’s U21 really struggled to create goalscoring chances in the first two games against England U21 and Germany U21. In both games, they had only one shot on goal per game. 

Unlike Israel’s U21, which needs to win in this game, U21 Czech Republic only needs one point from the game. They can wait patiently and look for opportunities, while Israel’s U21 have to start offensively from the very start because they have a bad goal difference. If they open too much, U21 Czech Republic could easily punish them.

In the first two games against England U21 and Germany U21, the Czechs showed a lot more than Israel’s U21, and we think they are closer to winning this game.
