Czech Republic vs Germany
There’s an old saying that if you want to win anything you have to be able beat the best. Well, if the Czech Republic are to qualify for the 2018 World Cup they must do exactly that.
In one of the biggest football games of the Czechs’ recent history, they have to overcome one of the best sides in the world when Joachim Low’s Germany arrives at the Generali Arena in Prague on Friday. The hosts are at odds of 6.40 for what would be a priceless win while a draw at 4.10 seems more likely.
Betting tips confidently back the Germans, who have stormed Group C with six wins from six as they sit proudly in second spot in the FIFA world ranking list; a full 38 places ahead of the Czechs. Czech coach Karel Jarolim needs to find a way of motivating his players to take on the likes of Toni Kroos, Thomas Muller and Julian Draxler, as well as Emre Can who has made an excellent start to the new EPL campaign with Liverpool.
The Czechs need a result to stay in touch with second placed Northern Ireland who are four points away before they meet after the weekend.
Last time out, they managed a draw in Norway with a goal from defender Theodor Gebre Selassie while Germany battered San Marino 7-0. Selassie and his defensive team-mates have their work cut out. Meanwhile, home fans will hope striker Michael Krmencik and midfield Vladimir Darida can add to their two campaign goals apiece.
You have to go back to 2007 for the last meeting between these two in Prague, when the Czechs won a Euro qualifier 3-0. What Jarolim would give for a repeat of that!
