Czechia and Denmark have played five matches so far, the last one being in the Euro 2020 quarter-finals. It was a very close match, but since then, both teams have undergone considerable changes, especially Czechia. Take a look at our betting recommendation for this match.
Facts:
- Czechia has won or drawn in six of the last seven matches. The only defeat was against the Faroe Islands in the World Cup qualifiers.
- In the last 10 matches, Czechia has averaged two goals per game and one conceded. Their worst defeat was against Croatia 1-5 away in the qualifiers, but they later drew 0-0 at home. Their most crushing victory was 6-0 against Gibraltar.
- Denmark has not lost in the last five direct confrontations against the Czechs. There have been two victories for the Danes and three draws. In addition, Denmark scored six goals and conceded two.
- The Danes have lost only one of the last nine matches they have played. The last defeat was against Scotland, which meant a direct passage to the World Cup for the Scots and the play-offs for Denmark.
Czechia - Denmark Betting Tip
- Betting Tip: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals (BTTS + over 2.5 goals)
- Odds: 2.60
If we only look at head-to-head matches, Denmark has a slight advantage here. Czechia, at least as an independent country, has not had a victory against the Danes.
One indicator of the Czech squad's improved level is their promotion to League A in the UEFA Nations League. In addition, in the last 10 matches, Czechia has averaged two goals per game.
However, the team has a new coach, Miroslav Koubek, who replaced Ivan Hašek after the Czech lost to the Faroe Islands in their group qualifying match. Koubek is off to a good start with Czechia defeating Northern Ireland in the playoff semi-finals.
For its part, Denmark has a more consolidated cycle, led by Brian Riemer. He implemented a 4-2-3-1 formation that allows him to take advantage of high-productivity attacking players, such as Højlund, Damsgaard, or Isaksen. Czechs, on the other hand, rely heavily on Patrik Schick.
Alternative Betting Markets for Czechia vs Denmark
If you are not a big fan of these combo bets, we have some alternatives to suggest for betting on this match. Apart from these main markets, you can consider player props or some other markets you typically bet on, or that you would consider interesting.
If you think Christian Erikssen will make a difference, you can bet on his individual contributions. We mentioned Patrik Schick as the Czech attacking power force, so here’s a suggestion for that, and one more market:
Patrik Schick Scores or Assists
Patrik Schick is, by far, the player with the highest attacking productivity for the Czechs. He was his national team's top scorer and top assist provider in the qualifiers. So far in his career, he has a goal participation percentage of 60.8%. The odds for this bet are 3.00.
If you are not comfortable with this, you can opt for a more conservative option: Schick makes more than 0.5 shots on goal with odds of 1.70.
Denmark Wins at Least One Half
Although the match has opportunities on both sides, the Danes' consistency and technical superiority are noticeable. We expect to see goals in this match, so at least one of the halves should be in the Nordic team's hands, with the market priced at 1.53.
