Meanwhile, Macedonia is making their first appearance in a major final and is aiming to go further. This friendly match will help both teams create competitive pressure to prepare best for the biggest football event in Europe. Despite being in a phase of squad rejuvenation, the Czech Republic is still expected to deploy an attacking style of play, creating waves towards the opponent’s goal in the first half. With talented midfielders like Tomas Soucek and Jankto, along with the presence of key striker Patrik Schick, the Czech Republic has enough strength to dominate the game from the beginning. The attacking force from multiple lines will make the Macedonian defense struggle. In the first half, the Czech Republic can even actively push their lineup forward to score early before the opponent understands their strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand, Macedonia is likely to apply a slow-paced playing style to control the rhythm and avoid being pressured by the opponent in the first half. Macedonia will try to play patiently, stretch the game, and avoid taking risks in attacking. Instead, they will patiently defend firmly, waiting for counter-attack opportunities or utilizing set-piece situations. Macedonia’s waiting game style could help them limit conceding goals in the first half, and even have the opportunity to unexpectedly break the deadlock with a quick counter-attack and a dangerous shot. Based on these characteristics, it is highly likely that the match will be played in a low-scoring manner in the first half. The expected score is 0-0, choosing under will be the safer option.
