Latest Czech Republic vs Georgia team information
The Czech Republic will be without Patrik Schick for a second successive international break, with the Bayer Leverkusen striker remaining in Germany with a minor injury amid rumours of a rift with coach Ivan Hasek.
Tomas Chory will continue to lead the line in place of Schick, with Rangers' Vaclav Cerny assisting. Lukas Provod, Adam Hlozek and Ondrej Lingr are competing for a starting spot.
The Czech defence will continue with four clean sheets against Albania, missing injured trio Ladislav Krejci, Martin Vitik and David Zima, with Matej Kovar in goal.
Georgia are without defender Saba Goglichidze, but the back three is unlikely to change. Goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who is set to move to Liverpool, will continue to start.
Georges Mikautadze, the Euro 2024 joint top scorer, started the match against Ukraine as a substitute but will hope his 15th goal for the team will earn him a starting spot.
Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has not scored for his country since converting a penalty against the Czech Republic in September.

Latest football commentary Czech Republic vs Georgia
At the end of a dramatic round of matches, both games on Saturday ended in draws, leaving the four teams in Group 1 separated by just three points. The Czech Republic drew 0-0 with Albania, a team they beat 2-0 at home last month, to maintain their slim lead at the top of the group.
The result leaves Ivan Hasek's side in a position to decide their fate with a game to spare, something that seemed unlikely after they lost 4-1 to Georgia in their opening game of the 2024-25 campaign. However, they have bounced back strongly and are confident heading into Tuesday's rematch.
The Czech Republic beat Ukraine in a five-goal game and moved ahead of Georgia with four points from their two October games to top the group. They still have a chance of promotion to League A but could finish third in a tight group.
Georgia are currently in the promotion playoff spot and face the bottom team in League A in March. A win would almost certainly see them top of the table, but a loss in Olomouc could see Ukraine or Albania overtake them.
Third place means a relegation playoff, setting up a crucial clash between Georgia and coach Willy Sagnol at the Andruv Stadion. After qualifying for Euro 2024 via the Nations League, Georgia won two games in September, but two defeats last month halted their progress. A 1-1 draw with Ukraine in Batumi on Saturday kept Ukraine in the race, leaving Georgia's future uncertain.
