Tipster’s Angle

Scotland have played pretty well against the Czechs recently and they also have a better form compared to them. Even, this could be a high scoring thriller as these two teams have produced in recent times.

Tip: Draw No Bet Scotland @ 1.98

These two teams have played six head to head matches since 2010, where Scotland have won four matches, Czech Republic have won just one match and the other match ended in a draw. Also Scotland won the last head to head match that they hosted. Scotland are in some decent form as they have five wins, three draws and just two losses in the last ten matches that they played across competitions. The Czechs on the other hand have also won five matches, but they have lost as many as four matches and drawn one. They have won just one and lost four matches in the last five matches that they played on the road. So, it is very likely that Scotland is likely to come out on top with a draw no bet at 1.98 odds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Tip: Total Goals Over 1.75 @ 1.70

A total of 19 goals were scored in the last eight head to head matches at an average of 2.3 goals per match and over 1.75 goals were seen in four of those eight matches. Five of the last eight matches that Scotland has played across competitions had over 1.75 goals scored in them. Over 1.75 goals were scored in both the last two matches that Scotland played at home. In the last ten matches that the Czechs have played, at least two goals were scored in six of those matches. Apart from that, their away stats suggest the same as two of the last three away matches that Czech Republic played had over 1.75 goals. So, it is evident that at least two goals could be scored at 1.70 0dds available at the Dafabet sportsbook.

Conclusion

This group looks like a really tough group and any two teams could make it to the knockout phase. And it won’t be surprising even if a third team qualifies from this group. As of now, Croatia and England hold all the aces, but the Czech Republic and Scotland could cause some upsets.
