Czech Republic vs Poland Match Analysis & Prediction
24/03/2023 12:00 am
The Czech Republic and Poland start their Euro 2024 qualifying campaigns against each other on Friday in Prague. The two nations are considered the favorites in Group E, but neither team should be taken lightly as they look to secure automatic qualification for the finals.
The Czech Republic has a proud record to uphold as they have reached every European Championship finals since becoming independent.
Their first was back in Euro 96 when they reached the final, and they have gone on to make two quarter-finals and a semi-final since then too.
That has made up for their hopeless record at qualifying for World Cups, as they have made just one (2006) in seven attempts.
After Poland’s elimination from the World Cup in December, Czeslaw Michniewicz left. Santos has replaced him.
The former manager led Poland to the tournament’s knockout stage for the first time since 1986 and was praised for entertaining fans with surprising results.
However, criticism of his team and management grew as they scraped through their group on goal difference despite scoring just twice and losing to Saudi Arabia in both matches.

Czech Republic Team News
Since their last outing against Turkey in November, the Czech Republic has made wholesale changes to their squad. Jaroslav Silhavy has left out 11 players from the squad that faced Turkey and has named six uncapped players in his latest selection. Many of the squad plies their trade in the Czech top flight, too, as 15 players play for domestic clubs.

Poland Team News
Poland has two wing-backs in great form in the Premier League, Przemyslaw Frankowski and Nicola Zalewski. The two could be used further upfield, however, as defensive spots are up for grabs. Matty Cash and Jakub Kiwior are the only guaranteed defensive starters, as Kamil Glik has been left out, and Bartosz Bereszynski and Kamil Piatkowski are injured.
