Scotland vs. Czech Republic: bet, prognosis & odds - 14.06.2021 - EUROPE: European Championship 2021
After more than 24 years, the time has finally come: Scotland will be represented at a European Championship again for the first time and will start in Group D of the EM 2021 on Monday evening. At the start, the Bravehearts not only caught a feasible but also a groundbreaking task. A defeat would be fatal in view of the round of 16.

In contrast to group opponents such as the English and Croatian national teams, the Czech Republic is seen on an equal footing with Scotland - at least according to the assessment of the best betting providers. Odds of 2.95 are currently available for a Scottish win against the Czech Republic, while a tip on the Eastern Europeans is rewarded with odds of 2.85.

The most recent two results against the Czech national team are particularly encouraging for the Bravehearts in the run-up to the European Championship group kick-off.
In the last edition of the UEFA Nations League, Scotland prevailed against the Czech Republic in the two rounds, so the Scottish national team expanded the current winning streak against the Czechs to three games. With the home advantage behind them - the European Championship kick-off will take place in Glasgow - Scotland is now tackling the next Eastern European hurdle with a broad face.

Scotland - statistics & current form
Since the European Championships in England in 1996, the Scottish national team has not been able to buy the EM ticket via the regular qualification route - this was also the case for the EM 2021 qualification. In a group with Russia and Belgium, Scotland only took third place in the table, so the first attempt at the cross-border EURO failed.

With the introduction of the UEFA Nations League, Scotland got another chance at the European Championship. In League C, the Bravehearts won the group in a group with Israel and Albania. The Scottish national team thus qualified for the play-offs of the Nations League, where after close results against Israel and Serbia, the EM ticket was bought.

On Monday evening the adventure starts in the 16th edition of the European Championship, where Scotland is also one of the hosts of the European Championship. In two out of three group games in the EURO, the Bravehearts benefit from the home advantage, including the upcoming group opener against the Czech national team.

Will Scotland fail again in the group stage?
Against the Eastern Europeans, Scotland is already under pressure to win in the first group game. A defeat would be difficult to cope with, especially since opponents like Croatia and England are far stronger than the Eastern Europeans. It is a groundbreaking home game against the Czech Republic, especially when it comes to the ranking of the best third party in the group.
Free soccer predictions
So far, Scotland has never been able to survive the group stage of an EM or World Cup. After all, the Bravehearts failed in the preliminary round in ten major competitions. If you take a look at the latest form curve of the Scots, there are quite realistic chances of a place in the round of 16 this year.
Free soccer picks
In the run-up to the European Championship, the Scottish national team remained unbeaten in five international matches in a row. Among other things, there was a scoring draw against the Netherlands, where the Bravehearts were able to prove their offensive qualities for the first time.

John McGinn, the Bravehearts' midfield conductor
In the qualification and also in the subsequent play-offs, John McGinn was the decisive factor in the offensive game of Scotland. McGinn had a direct participation in nine of the 17 Bravehearts goals, the Scots midfielder scored seven goals in total and is therefore also considered a scorer in Scotland vs. the Czech Republic.

Expected formation of Scotland:
Marshall - Hendry, Hanley, Tierney - O’Donnell, McTominay, McGregor, McGinn, Robertson - Dykes, Adams

Since 1996, the last European Championship finals for the Czech national team, the Eastern Europeans had to give up the sails in the group phase of three of the last five European Championships. At the Euro 2016 in France, the Czech Republic even finished bottom of the group with a score of 0-1-2, surprisingly there was the only draw against the Croatian group winners.

As in the last EURO edition, Croatia is also this time in the group of Czechs. Before the clash against the Croatian national team on matchday two, which will also take place in Hampden Park in Glasgow, one of eleven venues at the 2021 European Championship, the focus is on the game against the Bravehearts from Scotland.

Scotland is confident about the start of the European Championship and wants to extend the current winning streak against the Eastern Europeans with another win against the Czech Republic.

At home, the Bravehearts haven't lost any of their last eight home games. The last time there was a defeat in the European Championship qualification against Belgium, the Scottish national team has had a record of 5-3-0 in Hampden Park since then.
