Czech Republic and England meet again in the UEFA Nations League, and in the last five meetings England have been clearly superior, including the 5-0 and 4-1 thrashings. Czech Republic did once edge a 2-1 win, but this time the shape of the two teams is quite different from before. Czech Republic come into this having just lost their last two matches in this competition and without a win in four straight. Defence is clearly a problem when you look at the average of 4.56 shots on target conceded per game over the last 10 matches, while England, despite losing 2-3 last time out, are still overall the team that dominates possession more and creates chances more consistently, averaging 6.5 shots on target per game. If England control the tempo as usual and push high the way they like to, Czech Republic will have to defend heavily and there is a high chance they concede in the second half, because 55% of the goals they have conceded have come after the break. The game is likely to end with a margin England control rather than a tight battle to the final minute.
