Anthony Eadson’s Spain vs Czech Republic predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects a comfortable Spain win, with Lamine Yamal to star.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Lamine Yamal to score anytime | 4/5 (bet365) | Lamine Yamal has been Spain’s star man in this group, scoring three goals in two games. He struck in the second minute of the 3-2 win over England at Wembley, then scored twice, in the second and 63rd minutes, as Croatia were beaten 4-1 in Seville. Spain have scored seven goals in those two games and are 40 matches unbeaten, while the Czech Republic are bottom without a point and have conceded four times in two home games. Santi Denia’s side are also without the suspended Pavel Sulc, and the world champions should create plenty, so Yamal looks well placed to keep scoring in Oviedo. |
| Spain 3-0 Czech Republic (correct score) | 5/1 (bet365) | The Czech Republic have scored once in two group games, losing 2-1 at home to Croatia and 2-0 at home to England, a game they played with 10 men from the 23rd minute after Pavel Sulc was sent off. Adam Karabec, scorer of their only goal, is a doubt after going off injured against England. Spain, by contrast, scored three or more in both group games, beating England 3-2 and Croatia 4-1, and they won the last meeting with the Czech Republic 2-0 in June 2022. A comfortable home win without conceding is our score prediction, and 3-0 is worth backing at 5/1. |

How Czech Republic go into the game
