Czech Republic vs North Macedonia Prediction
Nároďák are in good touch, winning five of their last six games while conceding just four goals. Tomas Soucek, Lukáš Provod, and Patrik Schick were unused substitutes against Malta and might make an appearance from the bench in this match.
Lavovi have suffered two consecutive losses without scoring a goal and will look to return to goalscoring ways. They have failed to score in nine of their last 10 away games, which is a cause for concern.
Considering the current form of the two teams and the hosts' better goalscoring form, the Czech Republic are expected to register a comfortable win.
