Czech Republic vs England Preview
Recent results
England’s 3-2 loss to Spain at Wembley last Saturday must have been hard to take for Tuchel. Lamine Yamal put the visitors ahead early on, but the Three Lions responded well and went 2-1 up thanks to goals from Anthony Gordon and Harry Kane. The latter then crucially missed a penalty, which saw Spain roar back into the game in the second half. Strikes from Alex Baena and Mikel Oyarzabal eventually secured a vital win.
After a disappointing World Cup 2026 campaign, the Czech Republic suffered a 2-1 home loss to Croatia on Matchday 1. Goals from Luka Modric and Marco Pasalic either side of an effort from Adam Karabec earned a deserved victory for the away side.
Head-to-head record
The Czech Republic and England met on five previous occasions, with the Three Lions claiming three victories.
Interestingly, England lost 2-1 on their last visit to Prague in October 2019, but won 1-0 in the most recent clash at Euro 2020 – secured by a Raheem Sterling goal.
Team news
After the defeat against Croatia, Czech Republic boss Santi Denia will surely deploy his strongest side here in order to try and pull off a shock victory. Star striker Patrik Schick is injured and unavailable for the whole international break, though, which is a huge blow for the hosts.
Tuchel could make significant changes to the England XI due to games coming thick and fast, as well as the strength of his squad. Jordan Pickford, Trent Alexander-Arnold, James Garner and Morgan Gibbs-White are all pushing for starts. Nico O’Reilly and Ezri Konsa are slight injury doubts.
Czech Republic vs England Odds
*All odds are subject to change

Czech Republic vs England Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.97
In their World Cup 2026 qualification campaign, England’s defence was impregnable. But things have been different of late, with the Three Lions failing to keep a clean sheet in each of their last six matches. Marry that to the fact the Czechs scored in 10 of the last 11 games, and the BTTS market looks a real source of value at close to evens.
England total goals – Over 1.5 @ 1.45
But while Tuchel’s back-line is showing signs of frailty, England look pretty good going forward. Spearheaded by the dynamic duo of Kane and Jude Bellingham, the Three Lions tallied at least two goals in five of the last six outings – and backing an extension of the record to six in seven looks like a pretty safe bet.
Player to score or assist – Anthony Gordon @ 1.88
Gordon’s strike against Spain was yet more evidence of him really finding his feet at international level. The Barcelona winger has now tallied a goal or an assist in each of his previous five England games, a seriously good record that we are backing him to continue against what can be a porous Czech defence – one without a clean sheet in eight attempts.
