Czech Republic vs EnglandPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Nations League season has just started and the table offers no useful data, so the focus is on recent games. Czechia lost 3-0 to Mexico in their last World Cup game, before that drew 1-1 with South Africa and lost 2-1 away to South Korea. In the two friendlies before that came wins against Guatemala (3-1) and Kosovo (2-1), and further back a 1-1 draw with Denmark in qualifying. England come in with five wins and one defeat in their six latest games, all at the World Cup: 6-4 away to France, before that a 2-1 loss to Argentina, further back 2-1 away to Norway, 3-2 away to Mexico, 2-1 against Congo DR and 2-0 away to Panama. That is 16 goals scored and 10 conceded. In the three previous meetings England have won twice: 1-0 in 2021 at the Czech ground and 5-0 in 2019 at home, while Czechia had won 2-1 in October 2019. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
