Each team's starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is listed.

Czech Republic

The Czechs only lost in the first round to Georgia with a score of 1-4. Since then, the team has avoided such setbacks, securing two home victories and drawing twice away. This has allowed them to accumulate 8 points and top the Group 1 standings. A win would see the Czech Republic advance directly to League A. The team can also reach the Nations League elite with a draw, provided Albania drops points in another group match.

Midfielder Tomáš Souček and forward Tomáš Chorý will miss the match due to yellow card accumulation.

• In their last 10 matches in this tournament, the Czech Republic has only secured two victories (3 draws and 5 losses).
• At least two goals have been scored in 11 of the Czech Republic's last 12 Nations League games.
• The number "2" has appeared in the final score in 8 of the Czech Republic's previous 12 Nations League encounters.

Georgia

The Georgians started this Nations League campaign strongly, defeating both the Czechs and Albanians. However, they subsequently suffered two 0-1 defeats to Ukraine and Albania and drew 1-1 with Ukraine in the last round. Willy Sagnol's team is in second place, one point behind the leading Czechs. Georgia will qualify directly for League A if they win the upcoming match (provided Albania does not win by a large margin and have a better goal difference). Notably, Georgia will only be relegated directly to League C if they and Albania both end up with 7 points, and the Balkans have a better goal difference. In other scenarios, Georgia will compete in play-offs to either earn a spot in League A or remain in League B.

• The number "1" has appeared in the final score in six of Georgia's previous matches in this tournament.
• Georgia has not lost in 10 of their last 12 Nations League matches (7 wins and 3 draws).
• A maximum of two goals have been scored in 6 of Georgia's last 8 Nations League games.

Czech Republic vs. Georgia: Match Prediction

I believe it's too soon for Georgia to play in League A. The team still falls short of the level of even solid European middle-tier teams, such as the Czech Republic. I'm confident that the Georgians will remain in the second-tier league of this tournament. Meanwhile, the Czechs should advance to the elite, and for that, they need to secure three points in the upcoming match. Additionally, the Czechs will be eager to take revenge for their unexpected heavy defeat in Georgia in the first round.

No matter how good Georgia's away record in this tournament might be, they previously played in League C, where opponents were significantly weaker. Even on neutral ground, Georgia lost to Ukraine, and I predict they will lose in Prague as well. The Czechs are noticeably stronger at home than away. In their last seven home Nations League matches, the team has won five times, losing only to Portugal and drawing once with Spain.

My prediction – "Victory for Czech Republic"
