THE BIG MATCH
ENG V SCOT
Wembley Stadium
PREDICTION
England v Czech Republic prediction?
There’s not a lot of jeopardy for England, and finishing second in the group could bring a more favourable last-16 tie.
The Czechs need to qualify and their star striker Patrick Schick is back in fine form. Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal have both been having outstanding seasons with West Ham.
England will still need to respond to their struggles displayed during the Scotland game – very much needing a more dynamic and inventive performance.
Predicted score
England 2 Czech Republic 1
ENGLAND-CZECH REPUBLIC | Team News, Where To Watch
England’s final group stage match of Euro 2020 is finally here, tonight Southgate’s team will meet the Czech Republic at Wembley stadium, already knowing they have qualified for the knockout stages.
The England squad faced bad news this morning as it was confirmed Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount will miss tonight’s game after being “close contacts” with Scotland’s Billy Gilmour – who tested positive for covid. Chilwell and Mount will now self-isolate until Monday, June 28.
England is guaranteed a place in the last 16 but after the goalless draw in the highly-anticipated game against Scotland – Southgate’s team will be keen to win. If England win, it will see them top the group, a draw will see them finish second and a defeat could mean England finishing third.
England and the Czech Republic faced each other in qualifying for the Euro 2020 tournament. England won at Wembley 5-0 but lost 2-1 when they played in Prague. England was outplayed in that match, losing 2-1 to a late winner and registering just four shots on target, compared to the Czechs’ 8. The defeat was England’s first defeat in a qualifier for a major tournament in 10 years.
England have only faced the Czechs twice before those matches in 2019, drawing in a friendly in 2008 and winning a friendly in 1998.
Who could England face in the last-16?
If England win tonight they will play either France, Germany or Portugal at Wembley depending on who finishes second in Group F.
A draw will most likely be one of Spain, Sweden, Poland or Slovakia from Group E in Copenhagen.
If England loses and finishes third in their group, they could play the Netherlands, the winners of Group C, or Belgium, the winners of Group B.
Alternatively, they could play the winner of Group E, likely to be Spain or Sweden.
