UEFA Nations League – Division B – Group 2

In this article we will make an analysis of the second group in the division B of the League of Nations, in which we will present the participants, but also odds on betting.

UEFA Nations League – Division B – Group 2

• Czech Republic

Coach: Jaroslav Šilhavý

Key players: Patrik Schick, Michael Krmenčík, Vladimir Darida

Best European performance (UEFA competitions): EURO Final (1996)

Best performance at the World Championship: Groups (2006)

For years, the Czech Republic is no longer impressive in value, but despite this, it has more than decent performances. She gained access to a new European tournament, reaching the seventh consecutive qualification, after finishing second in a group with England, Kosovo, Bulgaria and Montenegro.

In the previous edition of the League of Nations, the Czechs did not shine, but we cannot say that they were disappointed. They finished in second place, over Slovakia, but below Ukraine. Because in this edition of obtaining the first place ranking of the group, odds 2.50 odds, thus being the favorites of the group.

• Scotland

Coach: Steve Clarke

Key players: Andrew Robertson, John McGinn, James Forrest

Best European performance (UEFA competitions): EURO groups (1992 and 1996)

Best performance at the World Championship: Groups (1954, 1958, 1974, 1978, 1982, 1986, 1990 and 1998)

As in the case of the Czech Republic, the Scots do not have super-values, but neither can they boast with notable performances in the last years, considering that they have not participated in a final tournament since 1998.

During this time, Scotland puts its hopes in players like Robertson, McGinn or Forrest, being responsible for obtaining a new qualification to a major tournament. They have a good chance in the dam for EURO 2020 (due in 2021), to meet Israel in the first phase.

Bookmakers believe that Scotland does not stand a high chance in this group, giving it a 4.65 odds for first place.

• Slovakia

Coach: Pavel Hapal

Key players: Miroslav Stoch, Marek Hamsik, Milan Skriniar

Best European performance (UEFA competitions): Best EURO (2016)

Best performance at the World Championship: Optima (2010)

Slovakia does not have a great history in the back, considering that since the dissolution of Czechoslovakia it has only obtained two qualifications to major tournaments. She played in the 2010 World Cup and the 2016 European Championship, each time stopping in the best.

In the League of Nations, in the previous edition, the Slovaks did not do much, considering that they finished last in a group with Ukraine and the Czech Republic, obtaining only three points in four games. Because in this edition of getting the first place ranking, Hamsik & co. I get the 3.30 odds.

• Israel

Coach: Andi Herzog

Key players: Munas Babbur, Bibras Natkho, Eran Zahavi

The best European performance (UEFA competitions): –

Best performance at the World Championship: Groups (1970)

Israel is undoubtedly the smallest name in this group, from any point of view, having a lot smaller than its opponents, but also modest performance over the years, which is why bookmakers see it as an outsider, giving it a 6.50 odds.

However, this can be a “hard nut”, demonstrating more than once in recent years. At the last edition of the League of Nations he finished second in a group with Scotland and Albania, thus advancing to division B.

It should be mentioned that this is also involved in the dam for qualifying at EURO, and will even face Scotland.
