Czech Republic Preview – Can the Czechs continue their strong showing a top the group in style?
Many had written off the hopes of Czech Republic and any hopes they had of qualifying before a ball was kicked. Whether it’s the lack of star names in their squad or having to play two of their opponents away from home essentially, they were given little hope. As it is heading into the final group game they are in control of things and know a draw would be good enough to not only see them qualify but do so as group winners.
It would be a tremendous achievement for Jaroslav Silhavy and his players and one they will be looking to grab with both hands.
England Preview – Are England set to end their group stage on a more positive note with a performance and result?
Huge expectation on England before a tournament and massive despondency and frustration after two games of said tournament will be familiar for many and it is the case this time around. Gareth Southgate’s men could lose and probably qualify for the next stage but their performances have been below par and the supporters are hoping for a big improvement in this game and their hopes of progressing in the competition.
England are currently second in the group sitting on four points and behind tomorrow’s opponents on goal difference. A win would guarantee top spot but the performance is arguably even more important than this one.

A 1-0 win over Croatia to start proceedings was decent enough but a lacklustre display against rivals Scotland in their second match has ignited a real negative reaction amongst the media and supporters. There are concerns around Southgate’s ability to get the best out this group of players have returned with a vengeance.
Whether the coach makes some changes or this one remains to be seen but there has to be more cohesion and intensity from whoever takes the field.
Czech Republic vs England Betting Advice
These two nations are no strangers to each other having been in the same qualification group for this tournament. England were far too good at Wembley winning 5-0 but the Czechs got some revenge. They won 2-1 in the return game. Raheem Sterling scored a hat-trick in the romp in London whilst Harry Kane managed a goal in each of the meetings.
The latter would love to return to form with a goal here after a really slow start to his tournament on an individual level.
Key Facts – Czech Republic vs England Betting Tip
- Czech Republic can guarantee top spot and qualification to the next phase with a draw
- England have underwhelmed in their games so far and will be hoping for a better performance in this match
- These two nations were in the same qualification group and won their respective home matches
Based on the performance against Scotland you would have little faith in England getting a win here. They remain full of quality, though, and some changes might freshen things up. They should have enough to win this one and top the group.
