Stat Attack
- England won their only previous Nations League meeting against Czech Republic by 2-0 result away in Prague.
- Czech Republic are making their first Nations League visit to England, but are yet win away against the Three Lions in all competitions (D1, L2).
- No England player has drawn more fouls in this group than Jude Bellingham, with the midfielder having been fouled on seven occasions in three appearances.
- Czech Republic’s Adam Hlozek has converted two of his four shots onto target without scoring.
Prediction
Coming off the high of their ruthless demolition of Croatia, England now need to stay grounded because this is now a banana skin game as they can either keep building and get another routine win or become complacent and get punished by the Czechs.
Czech Republic though are coming into this fixture off the back of a tough defeat to Spain despite having taken more fight to them than they did at home to England, so I am expecting them to try and make life harder but they can’t afford to let the hosts have free rein on the flanks.
I however do think that England will get another comfortable result if can stay focused and just play like they’ve done in the last two games.
Prediction: England 2-0 Czech Republic
Result: England 3-0 Czech Republic
