Czech Republic will face England in their last group stage fixture of the ongoing European Championship. The surprise package match is scheduled on Tuesday 22nd June 2021, with kickoff at 22:00 at the Wembley Stadium.
The Three Lions have four points from their two opening games, a 1-0 win over Croatia and a goalless draw with Scotland. On the other hand Czech Republic defeated Scotland 2-0 in the beginning of the campaign before a 1-1 draw with Croatia.
Interestingly, England brutally defeated the Czech Republic 5-0 in March 2019 before falling to them 2-1 in Prague that October; the defeat was England’s first in a qualifying match since 2009.
Meanwhile the Czechs have showed that their win over Scotland was no luck by holding a draw with the Croats’. Schick was on hand to score his third goal of the tournament converting a 37th minute penalty, but Perisic scored a great equalizer early in the second half. The four points gives the Czech Republic a great chance to qualify for the knockout stage and the confidence they have built will give them a chance against England.
However, England has the best chances in this match considering they have won seven of their last eight matches.
