England vs Czechia Preview & Tips
England were superb in their third UEFA Nations League match as they powered to a 7-0 away win over Croatia.
Czechia slid closer to relegation from the top tier of the UEFA Nations League on the back of a third consecutive defeat in the competition.
- England have won their last two Nations League matches with a clean sheet
- Anthony Gordon has scored in each of England's las three games
Head To Head
The pair have met six times before, with England winning four matches, Czechia winning once and one game ending as a draw.
England Form
England have done well to put their 3-2 home loss to Spain in their opening match behind them, with nine goals scored and none conceded across their last two.
Their 2-0 win over Czechia was a battling victory, but their 7-0 hammering of Croatia in their last game showcased how good England can be when they are in top gear. While Croatia hardly helped themselves, England were irresistible on the day as they pressed Croatia into mistakes, while they played with pace and confidence when on the ball.
Their home game against Czechia is their easiest game on paper, and they will hope to emulate their performance against Croatia. While Czechia have conceded seven goals across three games, England tend to have issues picking teams apart on their own patch.
The home side may storm to another big win, but I predict that the better bet is backing the hosts to win with a clean sheet, something they have done in their last two and in each of their four previous wins over their opponents. I am also backing Anthony Gordon to make it four successive games in which he has scored for England.
Czechia Form
Czechia have struggled to match the pace and ability of the other three sides in their group, with their opening three outings ending in defeats.
Their 2-1 loss to Croatia in their opening home game saw them beaten in their most winnable match, while they were then edged out by England in a 2-0 loss. Their 3-1 defeat at the hands of Spain was hardly embarrassing, but it has left them nine short of Spain at the summit and six behind their next opponents in second.
With relegation from the top tier of the Nations League beckoning, I am backing Czechia to slump to a fourth successive loss at the tournament.
Verdict
I am backing England to secure another win and a clean sheet as Anthony Gordon continues to torment the opposition.
