On June 14, in the first round of the Euro 2020 group stage in Glasgow, the Scottish national team will play the Czech Republic at Hampden Park. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this match.
Scotland
After a relatively long break, the Scottish national team managed to make it to the final part of the European Championship. In the selection in its group, it was able to take third place and overcame the 2-round playoffs, managing to defeat only the national teams of Israel and Serbia in a penalty shootout. In the next tournament of the Nations League, the Scots claimed promotion, but lost the last two games, ending up in second place and missing out on the Czech Republic. In the starting selection for the 2022 World Cup, the Scots first managed to share points with Austria (2: 2) and Israel (1: 1), after which they were able to defeat the Faroe Islands (4:0) on their own field.
Czech
The Czech national team was able to finish off its ticket to the final part of Euro 2020 through the traditional selection, taking second place in the group and passing only the England team ahead of itself. The "People's Team" performed at a good level in the League of Nations, where, following the results of the tournament, it was able to rise from Division B to Division A, two points ahead of its current opponent in the standings. In March, the team of Yaroslav Shilgava began qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. He started with an away win over Estonia (6: 2), the Czechs drew with Belgium (1:1), and then lost to Wales (0:1).
Statistics and figures:
- The opponents have approximately equal chances of winning;

The Scottish national team has played very well against the Czech Republic in recent games. Something tells me that in this match, she will be able to perform against the "tricolor" with dignity and win in the debut game at the CHE.
