Czech Republic and England both seek a first win in League A3 in the 2026-27 UEFA Nations League.
Victory would lift Czech Republic as high as second and above England, whilst Thomas Tuchel’s Three Lions could go second themselves with a win if Spain don’t draw at home to Croatia.
Team News
Czech Republic have no fresh injury concerns to report after their 2-1 defeat against Croatia.
England could be without Ezri Konsa and Nico O’Reilly after the pair suffered knocks in their 3-2 loss to Spain, although the pair have travelled with the squad.
When is Kick-Off?
Czech Republic host England at Fortuna Arena, Prague, on Tuesday 29 September at 8:45pm CEST (7:45pm BST), live on ITV1 and ITVX in the UK.
Stat Attack
- This is Czech Republic’s first Nations League meeting against England.
- England lost their only previous visit to Czech Republic by a 2-1 result in October 2019 during qualifying for UEFA Euro 2020.
- Excluding penalty shootouts, Czech Republic have failed to win any of their six competitive matches in 2026 (D3, L3).
- Anthony Gordon has scored in both of his last two starts for England in all competitions (L2).
Prediction
Without a competitive win or any clean sheets in all competitions in 2026, Czech Republic really need to sort out their defensive play because that side is costing them results as their attack is still very strong, as evidenced by scoring in 10 of their last 11 games across all competitions.
England meanwhile have their own defensive fragilities and Konsa’s knock isn’t ideal because I personally would of otherwise dropped Marc Guehi after his early error gifted Spain their opening goal, yet the Three Lions did well to regroup and take the lead before more mistakes proved costly.
This match though marks a chance for both teams to reset but if England can avoid another sloppy start, I can see them getting the win but Czech Republic will push them all the way.
Prediction: Czech Republic 1-2 England
Result: Czech Republic 0-2 England
