Team news and form
England come in with two wins from three in the Nations League, L-W-W, after losing 3-2 to Spain on matchday one. Thomas Tuchel’s side then won 2-0 in Prague and thrashed Croatia 7-0, a record Nations League win for England. Jude Bellingham had a hand in four of those seven goals against Croatia (one goal, three assists) and has assisted in each of his last three League A starts. Nico O’Reilly withdrew from the squad before the Croatia game. England have kept a clean sheet in both of their wins, and a third successive game to nil would extend that run. The Wembley record is the one worry, with England winless in their last three games there (D1, L2) and in their last four Nations League home matches (D2, L2).
The Czech Republic have lost all three of their Nations League games, beginning with a 2-1 defeat to Croatia and a 2-0 defeat to England. They are winless in six matches (D1, L5), have lost each of their last seven League A fixtures and have conceded two or more goals in eight successive League A games. Ladislav Krejčà is suspended. Ondřej Lingr was their top shooter against Spain with two shots. Fifteen of his 17 goals for club or country came after half-time, including his only goal for the national team.
Head-to-head – Last meetingsÂ
- Czech Republic 0-2 England (29 Sept 2026, UEFA Nations League)
- England 1-0 Czech Republic (22 June 2021, UEFA European Championship)
- Czech Republic 2-1 England (11 Oct 2019, UEFA European Championship qualifier)
- England 5-0 Czech Republic (22 March 2019, UEFA European Championship qualifier)
England have won three of the last four meetings, and the Czech Republic’s only win came in Prague in October 2019. England won the first meeting this term 2-0 in Prague, where the Czech Republic were reduced to ten men in the first half after Pavel Šulc was sent off.
Why we’re backing it
England have won both of their games since the Spain defeat without conceding, 2-0 in Prague and 7-0 against Croatia, and they should have the quality to pile on pressure here. Bellingham was involved in four of the seven goals against Croatia and gives them a creative edge. Eight of England’s last nine matches had at least two goals after half-time, and six of their last seven Nations League games had over 2.5 goals, so the Czech defence is likely to be stretched as the game opens up.
The Czech Republic have lost seven League A games in a row and have conceded at least twice in eight successive League A matches. Six of their last seven internationals produced over 1.5 second-half goals, which points to goals arriving after the break. They have already been beaten 2-0 by England this term, and England also won the last two meetings at Wembley. Lingr’s second-half scoring record is a small threat, but a Czech goal looks unlikely against a side that has kept two clean sheets in a row. England’s recent form at Wembley is the main caution, so a win to nil gives a better price than backing England alone.
