Euro 2024: Georgia takes on Czechia in Match Day 2 clash.

As European Championship debutants Georgia seek their first-ever tournament point against a Czechia side rebounding from a narrow defeat, this clash at the Volksparkstadion promises high stakes and thrilling football action.

Georgia

European Championship debutants Georgia faced a challenging start, suffering a 3-1 defeat against Turkey. This match was marred by fan clashes in the stands before kickoff. The end-to-end encounter saw Turkey take the lead with Mert Müldür’s spectacular volley in the 25th minute.

Georgia responded swiftly as Georges Mikautadze equalized in the 32nd minute, marking the team's first-ever goal in a major tournament. However, they found themselves trailing again after Arda Güler’s stunning strike early in the second half. Despite a spirited fightback, Turkey sealed their victory with Muhammed Kerem Aktürkoğlu's last-minute goal.

Coach Willy Sagnol expressed mixed feelings: ‘We are not happy with the loss, but I am happy with my team’s performance.’ The loss places Georgia at the bottom of Group F with a goal difference of -2. In their first-ever meeting with Czechia, Georgia must earn their first point in a European Championship to keep their campaign alive, facing the risk of early elimination with another defeat.

The team is expected to adopt a 3—5—2 formation, featuring Georges Mikautadze and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in attack. This make-or-break encounter on Saturday is crucial for the Crusaders' chances of progression in the tournament.

Czech Republic

Czechia started their Euro 2024 campaign with a narrow 2-1 loss to Portugal in an intense Group F opener. They initially took the lead through Lukáš Provod's strike in the 62nd minute, but soon found themselves on the back foot after an own goal by Robin Hranáč in the 69th minute.

Substitute Francisco Conceição, on the pitch for a mere two minutes, sealed Czechia's defeat with a stoppage-time goal, leaving the team in frustration. "We played against one of the best teams in the world, and I was very angry about conceding a goal so close to the end," said head coach Ivan Hašek.

Czechia currently sits third in Group F with a goal difference of -1. They have lost seven of their last 12 European Championship group stage matches, a run that began after beating Switzerland in 2008. Despite this, they have not lost their opening two matches at the competition since 2000 and will aim to avoid doing so on Saturday.

Ivan Hašek is likely to stick with the 3-1-4-2 formation used against Portugal in the first match, featuring Patrik Schick and Jan Kuchta leading the attack.
