Czechia take on Armenia in what is, at present, their penultimate friendly ahead of the Euro 2024 Finals in Germany this summer. The home side qualified second in Group E, tying on points with Albania for top spot, but losing out on goal difference. They did beat Poland into third spot in the group and lost just one of their eight games, a crucial away defeat against Albania which ultimately cost them top spot in Group E. Incredibly, the man who led Czechia to the finals, Jaroslav Silhavy, resigned just minutes after the 3-0 win over Moldova that saw them qualify for the tournament. Ivan Hasek took control and continued the good form of the Czech team of late. On Friday he watched his team win 2-1 away to a Norway team featuring Erling Haaland, Martin Odegaard, Sander Berge, Oscar Bobb and Kristoffer Ajer. With just one defeat in 11 games (6 wins, 4 draws), Czechia look a very good bet to continue that good run on Tuesday.

That is because their opponents Armenia have struggled for any kind of form in their most recent outings. They have lost five of their last six games, their only positive result a 1-1 home draw with Wales back in November 2023. They have won just two of their last 11 games and both of those came within the space of three days back in June. Goals have been a huge problem for the team, with just two scored in their last six games while eight have been conceded. Oleksandr Petrakov ten games in charge have yielded just two wins and they seem to have developed a poor habit of falling behind in games, conceding first in five of their last six matches, all those goals coming in the first half of those matches.
