  • Czech Republic have won only two of their last nine U21 EURO final tournament matches
  • Czech Republic have lost only one of their last 12 U21 EURO matches (includes qualifying)

THE PREDICTION

Slovenia’s 3-0 thumping at the hands of Spain in their opening match was fairly expected as they probably wouldn’t be at the tournament if it wasn’t for being the hosts. They come up against a Czech Republic side that earned a point against Italy in their opener via an Italian own goal with 15 minutes to go. The Czech’s have been resolute in qualification and remained tight against Italy. They should overcome the hosts but it is also likely to be fairly low-scoring.
