Czech Republic hosts Iceland in Group A of the Euro 2016 qualifying. The two teams top the group and the first place is on the line.
Czech Republic won all three games so far … 2-1 vs. Netherlands, 2-1 in Turkey, 4-2 in Kazakhstan. Hosts are looking in really good shape taking a big option to qualify in this very strong group … which includes Iceland, Netherlands or Turkey. They will have another very tough challenge today vs. Iceland, a team that won all matches so far in even more impressive fashion. Czech Republic has a very effective offensive stup with the likes of Rosicky or Lafata and are scoring for fun so far … but also leaking goals as we saw in the last matches. For today Czech Republic with some squad problems: Kozak, Vache, Kolar and Limberski will not play.
Bet on Czech Republic vs. Iceland with the best Euro 2016 under/over odds at Unibet.
Iceland probably the hottest team in Europe considering how they destroyed Turkey (3-0) and Netherlands (2-0), also Latvia (2-0) and also the low expectations that people had for this team. But Iceland is not a fluke or a 1 month show … they almost qualified to the World Cup last year, playing a tight playoff with Croatia and are a brilliant team playing fast football, reactive and good on interceptions. Even if Iceland lost a couple of day sago to Belgium 3-1, it was just a friendly and Belgium is a super strong team … so it does not take anything from them. Visitors will be happy to have a full bill of health aside for Halfredsson who will not be able to play.
I was tempted to pick Iceland, they are playing great and are constantly underrated by bookmakers, also they will get some good counter attacking chances … but the hosts are also a solid side and home court advantage could be enough to get them a win … even without some important players. I see a very entertaining game, both sides are scoring lots of goals and play positive football, fast and attack oriented. Iceland did not allow any goals so far but it’s hard to see them keeping a clean sheet in Czech Republic … on the other hand Iceland scored in 14 of the last 16 away games they played. With 16 goals scored between these two in 6 games in this group, I will tip over 2,5 goals with confidence. Both to score also a good option, but odds are better for over 2,5. Correct score prediction: Czech Republic – Iceland 2-2.
