Czech Republic vs England Match Summary
Competition | UEFA Nations League |

Czech Republic host England at the Fortuna Arena in Prague on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Nations League, with both sides chasing a first win after opening defeats.
The hosts opened their campaign with a 2-1 loss to Croatia, Adam Karabec's leveller undone by Marco Pasalic's late strike. Santi Denia's side are now winless in four outings.
England arrive after a 3-2 defeat to Spain at Wembley, where they led at the break before falling apart in the second half. They will fancy a response in this fixture.
England are strong favourites here at 1/3 with Ladbrokes, and this looks the ideal stage to get their Nations League campaign back on track after that Wembley setback.
Czech Republic vs England Form
Czech Republic go into this one winless in their last four competitive internationals after that 2-1 loss to Croatia. Adam Karabec did drag them level after the break before Marco Pasalic's late winner, but Santi Denia's group are struggling for results and sit bottom of the group on form.
England are hardly rock-solid themselves, having conceded 13 goals across a six-match run without a clean sheet in all competitions. The attack still functions, though, with Harry Kane leading the line and Jude Bellingham pulling strings. On the win market, the Three Lions have come out on top in 8 of their last 10 matches.

Czech Republic vs England Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: England have the quality advantage across the pitch and face a Czech Republic side short of confidence after four winless outings. The Three Lions are strong favourites, and with their win market record standing at 8 from 10 in recent matches, a 2-0 away victory is our call here.
Best Bets
England To Win Priced up at 1/3 with Ladbrokes, England are the clear favourites and it is easy to see why. Their win market has come up trumps in 8 of their last 10 outings, and they face a Czech side that has managed only 2 wins from 10 in the same timeframe.
Both Teams To Score - No With England expected to control this game and the hosts winless in four, a clean sheet for the visitors looks a solid angle, and No in the Both Teams To Score market is available at 20/23 with Betfair Sportsbook.
Czech Republic vs England Bet Builder
Our four-leg bet builder backs England to win, Harry Kane to score anytime, No in Both Teams To Score, and Lukas Cerv to be shown a card in a combative midfield battle.
England to win is the anchor. They are strong favourites and have a win-market record of 8 successes from their last 10 matches, coming up against a Czech side who have managed just 2 victories in the same period.
Harry Kane leads the line and is the designated penalty taker, making him the obvious pick to find the net against a struggling home defence.
No in Both Teams To Score fits a disciplined England display and a clean sheet, with the hosts short of goals and confidence after four winless outings.
Lukas Cerv operates in a combative central midfield role and will be tasked with disrupting England's engine room, the kind of job that regularly earns a booking.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 11.34/1 and is as short as 9.62/1 elsewhere.

Czech Republic vs England Talking Points
Thomas Tuchel was in no mood to overstate the occasion in Prague, calling it "too early to speak of a must-win game" before adding: "We want to win, of course. It would be ideal, but the problem is the opponent on the other side." He defended England's structure after the Spain defeat, insisting his side were a "danger to ourselves" through isolated unforced errors rather than any systemic failing. He was wary of the hosts too, describing a Czech Republic side under Santi Denia with "wingers attacking full-backs and a team that was well organised." The reality, though, is that England have the firepower to punish a side winless in four, and a clean, professional job here would settle plenty of nerves.
