Australia vs Czechia prediction

Regardless of their result vs Chinese Taipei, Australia will have pencilled this game in as a must-win if they are to advance further in the competition when taking into account the likes of Japan and Korea Republic as future opponents. Like them, Czechia are another team with little full-time professional representation, particularly in the major leagues.

But Australia do contain the deeper squad on paper and whilst their pitchers could come under strain against what should be a fearless Czechia side, the Aussies should ultimately do enough to overcome them. Back Australia to come out on top over the European nation.
