Bet on Draw for Poland vs Czech Republic
All eyes will be on PGE Narodowy stadium when Poland and Czech Republic go head to head in an eagerly-awaited Euro 2024 qualifier. Our sportsbook offers the best Euro 2024 qualifiers betting lines to bet on this match. Read our preview and our top soccer player props.
Poland Fighting for Top Two-Finish
A spot at the European Championship finals is at stake and, no doubt, this is one of the most important games of the round in the European qualifiers. Gaining one point from two matches with Moldova is indicative of Poland’s decline.
The Fernando Santos era was short-lived and best consigned to the history books for Poland, who swiftly replaced the ex-Portugal head coach with Michal Probierz on the back of the 51-year-old’s noteworthy exploits with the Under-21 team.
While they often make a complete dog’s breakfast of major tournaments, you can normally count on Poland to reach them in the first place. But 2024 looks increasingly likely to be an exception. It’s been less than a year since Poland reached the knockout stages of the World Cup.
This match against the Czechs in Warsaw is a must-win and the playoffs remain a safety net for Poland, which is +130 in soccer online betting. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be fit-again Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, with Napoli midfielder Piotr Zielinski making the cut as well.
The Czechs are in Pole Position
The visitors are a point ahead of Poland with a game in hand and will be looking to book their spot in Germany next summer, knowing that avoiding defeat in their final two games would almost certainly be enough to secure second place in Group E.
Avoiding defeat is something Czechia have been good at recently so we expect them to do it again. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong for the Czech Republic against Albania two rounds ago, but they immediately bounced back by beating the Faroe Islands.
It’s very tough to play against them and defeat them and the Euro Cup Qualifier betting value is definitely with the visitors. Bayer Leverkusen frontman Adam Hlozek will battle Vaclav Jurecka and Tomas Cvancara for the right to spearhead the charge, although all three could be considered for starts if rotation comes into play.
No injuries were reported in the Czech camp before the international break. Jaroslav Silhavy has recognizable names such as Lukas Masopust, Lukas Provod and Feyenoord loanee Ondrej Lingr vying to earn minutes from the first whistle.
Czechs have Upper Hand on Poland
Two of the Czech Republic’s last four fixtures have ended with the same scoreline (1-1) but they managed to beat Poland 3-1 in the reverse fixture.
We’ve seen a maximum of two goals in six of Poland’s last seven games across all competitions and in three of the Czech Republic’s last four fixtures. The visitors have only lost one of their last eight games and the hosts have only won three of their last nine competitive outings.

Poland vs Czech Republic Betting Lines
Poland vs Czech Republic Betting Picks for November 17
The hosts enter this clash as slight favorites being priced at +140 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest soccer odds while the goal line is set at 2½.
No matter who wins we expect a low-scoring affair with a maximum of two goals on the scoresheet. The visitors will be more than happy with a draw and they will definitely park the bus and defend the best they can. Poland lacks attacking firepower having just Robert Lewandowski to deliver for them.
With Poland’s last outing ending in a 1-1 draw at home and Czechia drawing two of their last four games by that scoreline, we expect a draw game with goals for our soccer bet prediction.
Euro Cup Qualifier Pick: Draw +210
Questions Of The Day
What are some unique player prop bets for the Poland vs Czechia match?
Since it’s do-or die game for the hosts, we expect many bookings. The line should open at 4½ and we should definitely go over as both teams tend to record many faults per game.
What are the most lucrative live betting opportunities for this matchup?
We expect a tight first half with no goals at the end of the first 45 minutes. That will open up a potential over one goal in the second half as a live bet with a great price.
