Having disappointed at Wembley, Czech Republic needed to get off the mark on Friday evening and that’s exactly what they did, as they beat Bulgaria by two goals to one in Prague. After that result, Jaroslav Šilhavý will be hoping to continue moving in the right direction. Czech Republic delivered a much-improved effort to beat Bulgaria on Friday evening. Unlike at Wembley or in many of their recent games, they offered a good amount going forward, posting 2.51 expected goals for, while they prevented their reasonably limited opponents from creating much, as they conceded only 0.41. A repeat of that showing would surely see Monday’s hosts emerge victorious against Montenegro, who drew against Kosovo last time out. Like Czech Republic, Montenegro also lost heavily against England, though they were not able to match the efforts of the Czech’s against Bulgaria. Granted Montenegro faced the Bulgarians on the road, but their performance was a poor one. Despite drawing 1-1, Monday’s visitors struggled to contain Bulgaria, as they conceded 2.1 expected goals for, which tells us that they really ought to have conceded more than once. However, while they weren’t great against Bulgaria, Montenegro have at least shown themselves to be capable when it comes to getting the ball in the net, as they’ve scored in both of their qualifiers so far. They breached the English, which is something that the Czech’s failed to do. What’s more, Montenegro also averaged 1.67 goals for on the road in the recent Nations League. Given how well Czech Republic played on Friday night, it is tough to go against the hosts, though they represent little value at the current prices. Instead, ‘Both Teams to Score’ makes the slightest bit of appeal.
