"The Czech Republic is one of the major footballing nations in Europe and tend to do well in qualifiers. They have not qualified for the FIFA World Cup finals since 2006, but they have played in the UEFA European Championships since 1996. The Czech Republic reached the quarter-finals of UEFA Euro 2020 and the semi-finals at UEFA Euro 2004. Ivan Hasek's side have done well in UEFA Group L so far."
"The Czech Republic are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation against Croatia. Matej Kovar will be in goal for the home team and will have Martin Vitík, Robin Hranac and Vaclav Jemelka in front of him in defence. Martin Cedidla, Michal Beran, Alex Kral and David Jurasek will be the four midfielders. Vaclav Cerny and Michal Sadílek will be two attacking midfielders. Tomas Chory will lead the line for the Czech Republic."
Croatia and the Czech Republic face each other in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match at the Fortuna Arena in Prague.
