Expert opinions on the Czech Republic – Macedonia match
In their recent 5 matches, the Czech Republic has been displaying good and stable performance, with 4 wins and 1 draw with a score of 1 – 1 against the stronger opponent Poland in the Euro 2024 qualifiers. They secured a convincing 3 – 0 victory against the Moldova national team and showed no weakness against strong opponents like Armenia and Norway, with an impressive 2 – 1 win, creating highly entertaining matches. The Czech Republic’s lineup includes many key players such as Tomas Soucek, Patrik Schick, Antonin Barak, all of whom are experienced international players in top form. The attacking line of the Czech Republic is highly rated with the presence of Patrik Schick, the main goal scorer for the national team. The midfield is also strong with Tomas Soucek and Antonin Barak. However, there is some concern about the defense as key center-back Ondrej Kudela is suspended. Nevertheless, other players like David Jurasek and Robin Hranac are capable of performing well. Notably, the Czech Republic performs strongly at home, with 3 consecutive wins and no losses in their last 6 matches there. It’s worth mentioning that the Czech national team has a 100% win rate when leading 1 – 0 and even when trailing 0 – 1 at home. Their overall form in the last 5 matches is better than that of North Macedonia, averaging 1.75 goals per home match, thus they are considered in good shape.
Based on the recent match results of the Macedonian national team, it can be seen that their form is not highly rated. In their last 5 matches, Macedonia has not secured any victories, with only 2 draws and 3 losses. Among them, the defeat against the Croatian national team with a significant score difference of 3 – 0 and the loss to Italy with a score difference of 5 – 2 stand out. The remaining draws had few goals, often ending with a 1-goal difference. The Macedonian lineup also features quality players such as Elif Elmas, Aleksandar Trajkovski, Ezgjan Alioski. The attacking line of Macedonia is highly rated with the presence of Aleksandar Trajkovski as the main goal scorer, and the midfield with Elif Elmas and Ezgjan Alioski has good passing and scoring abilities. The defense of Macedonia is a weak point, as they have conceded 16 goals in 6 matches, but Gjoko Zajkov and Darko Velkovski still have the ability to perform well. The Macedonian national team is going through a difficult period with 5 consecutive losses, including 3 recent away losses. Particularly, in their most recent encounter with the Czech national team, they suffered a heavy defeat with a 5-goal difference. When trailing 1 – 0 away, Macedonia has a 100% loss rate. They also failed to score in their last 2 matches and averaged only 0.67 goals per match when playing away from home. Despite having a 45% win rate in the first half, overall, the current form of Macedonia is very concerning ahead of the upcoming match.
