Expert predictions

Vakhtang Bzikadze, Georgia reporter

In terms of points, Georgia departed Dortmund empty-handed on Tuesday but their performance against Türkiye did provide something: the belief that the tournament debutants are here on merit and can mix it with the best. A more defensive Czechia side will provide a very different challenge, but the likes of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are well-equipped when it comes to breaking down opponents. It will be fascinating.

Ondřej Zlámal, Czechia reporter

This is a must-win game for the Czechs and they will have to approach it with a more attacking mindset than they did against Portugal – Ivan Hašek has already confirmed that this will be reflected in his starting XI. A word of caution, though: Georgia possess fast technical players who can punish you on the counterattack. Even so, Czechia should be able to build on the teamwork displayed in Leipzig on Tuesday.

What the coaches say

Willy Sagnol, Georgia coach: "We know a lot about Czechia, their strength and weaknesses, but every game is different. For Georgia, opponents are not the problem; it's more our discipline. When we play with a lot of discipline, we play well. Every team in the tournament is strong, but we are ready to compete with them with the same passion, what we showed against Türkiye."

Ivan Hašek, Czechia coach: "We got a detailed analysis of Georgia's opening game. The match was pretty even until the very last minute. Georgia were dangerous going forward and conceded the winner in added time. They demonstrated superb quality, both individually and as a team. The main threat for us is on the counter. We have to be careful and prevent them from breaking."
