Czech Republic vs Italy Women Live Stream & Tips – Low-Scoring Clash at the World Cup 2026
Both teams are making a much-anticipated return to the World Cup, but their draw in the group of death raises the stakes for their Friday matchup. With immense pressure and the significance of the game, high-scoring action is unlikely. The key recommendation is to bet on under 138.5 total points, anticipating a cautious and tactical battle with limited scoring opportunities.

Czech Republic are Back After a Difficult Period
Due to their extended rebuilding phase and golden generation retiring from the national team, no one was surprised to see the Czech Republic miss the Basketball World Cup in Australia four years ago.
Their biggest accomplishments so far were the gold medal at EuroBasket 2005 and silver at the World Championship 2010 in front of the home crowd, losing to the USA in the grand final.
They had a couple of disappointing displays in the global qualifiers, especially the one against Belgium 50-93, but victories against underdogs South Sudan 89-52 and Brazil 84-65 were enough to take 4th place and qualify.
Italy Ending a 32-Year World Cup Wait
After 32 years of waiting, Italy are finally making a comeback to the biggest stage, earning qualification for the upcoming World Championship in Germany.
Le Azzurri had an amazing run at EuroBasket 2025, finishing third after losing to Belgium 66-64 in the semifinals, then beating France 69-54 to claim a consolation medal.
They also had a strong run at the WC global qualifiers in March, beating Puerto Rico 78-41, New Zealand 74-51, Spain 68-56 and Senegal 85-35, while the only loss came against the USA 93-59.

Verdict
Both sides waited for a big comeback to the World Cup and were unfortunate to be drawn into the group of death. The stakes are very high on Friday, and I don't expect to see great shooting numbers. Under 138.5 points is tipped.
