Czech Republic – England : Preview & Prediction
England remains one of the big favorites of this Euro 2020. The selection of the Three Lions has also started rather well in European competition. Against Croatia, she was able to make a strong impression. By challenging the last finalist of the 2018 World Cup, Gareth Southgate’s team managed to come out with a victory, thanks to a goal from Raheem Sterling (1-0). However, the English players fell from high on the second day of this group stage. They found Scotland for one of the most anticipated matches of this first round of Euro 2020. But in this derby, which took place at Wembley, England could not do better than a draw (0-0). And she is now in second place in her group before the final meeting.
Harry Kane’s teammates are currently tied on points with the Czech Republic, but behind due to the goal difference. And that’s good since the two teams face each other on this third day. The Czech Republic should certainly not be underestimated. Jaroslav Šilhavý’s men have been particularly convincing since the start of European competition. Thanks to a double from Patrik Schick, the Czechs managed to get away with three points on the first day against Scotland (2-0). And they were able to confirm a few days later against Croatia. With a new goal from their star striker, the Czech Republic obtained a valuable point (1-1).
However, we expect a much more complicated meeting against the English. Of course, England has just been held in check by Scotland. However, it will aim to raise its level of play and secure first place, to afford a quieter round of 16. Gareth Southgate has one of the most comprehensive rosters in the entire competition. With Marcus Rashford, Harry Kane, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden or even Jadon Sancho, the selection of the Three Lions has plenty to do. And we have the impression that the English could afford a second success in this group stage. Especially since they will play once again in front of their supporters, within the walls of Wembley.
And especially since these two selections have already faced each other in the playoffs. The Czech Republic first won at home (2-1), before exploding completely on the pitch at Wembley (5-0). The English will have the intention of knowing the same epilogue for this meeting. Gareth Southgate’s men must send a strong message for the rest of the competition. For their part, the Czech Republic has a good chance of qualifying for the future, even in the event of defeat. With four points to its counter, the Czech selection could be part of the best third, being overtaken by England, then Croatia or Scotland in the final meeting. And whatever happens the Czech Republic has already achieved its Euro!
