Czech Republic - Armenia

International Match

Based on the bookmaker's odds, it looks to be one-way traffic on Tuesday, so the outright betting market is proving very little value. Instead of lumping on a home win for little profit, be sure to check out our more exciting free betting tips.

While the odds of the Czech Republic winning outright are poor and not worth the punt, you could back them on a handicap – something we've tipped on our betting insights page this international break – and perhaps look into the Czech Republic winning at -1.

Last five H2Hs: Not a common fixture on the international stage

These two sides do not come up against one another very often with their last encounter coming back in 2016. It was the Czech Republic who ran out comfortable 3-0 victors and the same can be expected this time around.

Czech Republic preview: A routine win is on the cards

Everything is pointing towards a Czech Republic victory in this international friendly. From the squad depth and experience to the form and differing places in the FIFA rankings, the home side are rightfully favourites, it may well just be a case of avoiding complacency and picking up the win.

Predicted lineup: Stanek (GK) – Zeleny, Holes, Zima, Doudera – Soucek, Barak – Hlozek, Provod, Jurasek – Schick

Armenia preview: Anything but a defeat would be welcomed

Armenia only managed to win two games in the whole of 2023, so losing their opening bout in this calendar year was certainly no surprise. The Eastern European outfit find themselves just inside the top 100 FIFA rankings, but that will have little impact when they travel to the Czech Republic.

Predicted lineup: Beglaryan (GK) – Margaryan, Grigoryan, Haroyan, Calisir, Hovhannisyan – Spertsyan, Piloyan – Zelarayan, Sevikyan – Briasco

Player to watch – Tomas Soucek

In what is expected to be a comfortable evening for the Czech Republic, it could be the perfect stage for their captain to stand up on the international stage after blanking in the previous match.

Soucek to cause problems going forward?

Soucek only needs to score one more goal for his country to move himself up into their top 10 all-time top scorers with 13 strikes. The tall midfielder has become a common threat for both club and country when it comes to headers, volleys and just being a nuisance inside the box from set pieces.
