Bitesize Prediction: Czech Republic vs Montenegro – 06/06/25

Competition: World Cup Qualifying

Market: Czech Republic win

Odds: 2/5 @ 1xBet

Two camps who will be looking to extend on their 100% start to proceedings, the Czech Republic will welcome Montenegro to Plzen for a World Cup qualifying showdown.

Starting with the hosts, enjoying what was a real Nations League romp last year as they cruised their way to a maiden League A spot, the Czech Republic have continued on their sensational run of form. Getting their World Cup qualifying adventure underway with a 2-1 victory at home against the Faroe Island on March 22nd, Ivan Hasek’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Last seen storming their way to a routine 4-0 romp away at Gibraltar, the one-time Strasbourg boss will be calling on his squad to lay down another statement of intent here. Winning their first two Group L showdowns by an aggregate score of 6-1, Friday’s hosts are also unbeaten in all of their previous seven competitive appearances across all competitions. Finding a clinical edge in the final third, Hasek’s camp have come roaring back sine their public EURO 24 nightmare last summer. It should also be noted, the Czech Republic have not suffered a single World Cup qualifying defeat on home soil since back in 2017.

As for the visitors, while Montenegro might find themselves pencilled in as a real underdog in the race to clinch a top-two finish in Group L, the Brave Falcons have come flying out of the traps. Winning their opening two World Cup qualifying appearances and getting their adventure off to a dream start, Robert Prosinecki’s men will be relishing a trip to Plzen on Friday night. In fact, g off their Nations League nightmare with a shock 3-1 victory against Turkey back in November, the Reds have secured three consecutive wins for the first time since 2021. However, pencilled in as a major underdog this weekend, Montenegro should be concerned by a woeful record against their Group L rivals. Slumping to a 4-1 drumming when they last met the Czech Republic for a friendly showdown back in the summer of 2023, they have lost all of their five historic battles by an aggregate score of 13-1. Despite their recent success, we are backing a home victory on Friday night.
