England vs Czechia Nations League Clash: Preview, Predictions, and Lineups

England Faces Czechia in Nations League Showdown

England enters Tuesday's Nations League match against Czechia full of confidence after a dominant 7–0 win over Croatia. The attacking quartet of Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, Bukayo Saka, and Anthony Gordon thrilled fans, following England's earlier 2–0 victory over a 10-man Czechia on their turf. After a narrow 3–2 loss to Spain in the group opener, this recent form has lifted the pressure on coach Thomas Tuchel.

Czechia's head coach Santi Denia has seen three straight losses since taking charge, but his side has remained competitive in those games. Still, getting a positive result at Wembley looks like a tall order.

England vs Czechia Score Prediction

England’s attack has been firing on all cylinders, having scored 11 goals across three Nations League matches. Kane, Bellingham, and Gordon each have at least four goal involvements, making them among the tournament's top contributors. Czechia, by contrast, has struggled, failing to win in six games and only claiming two wins in their last ten matches within 90 minutes. Their last competitive victory in regulation was back in November 2025.

• Head-to-head: This will be the eighth encounter between England and Czechia (including historical versions), with England winning five of the previous seven meetings.
• Offensive strength: England has one of the hottest attacks internationally, reflected in their recent performances.
• Czechia’s form: Six matches without a win, just two victories in their last ten games.

Prediction: England 3–0 Czechia

Expected England Lineup

Coach Tuchel will rotate the squad following the Croatia thrashing. Alex Scott is sidelined with a quad injury and will miss six to eight weeks, ruling him out for the rest of the international break. Other absentees include Nico O’Reilly, Cole Palmer, Kobbie Mainoo, Declan Rice, and Marcus Rashford.

Rico Lewis has joined the squad but is unlikely to start. James Garner or Myles Lewis-Skelly may slot into midfield alongside Elliot Anderson. Bellingham might rest, with Morgan Rogers stepping in at No. 10. Eberechi Eze could take Gordon’s place on the left wing. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jarrad Branthwaite, and Trevoh Chalobah may feature in defense. Kane will lead the attack again, marking his joint-record 125th cap for England.

• Formation (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Alexander-Arnold, Chalobah, Branthwaite, Hall; Anderson, Lewis-Skelly; Saka, Rogers, Eze; Kane

Predicted Czechia Lineup

Pavel Šulc returns from suspension, but Ladislav Krejčí is banned after a red card against Spain. Goalkeeper Antonín Kinský, who started against Spain, is likely to start again. Robin Hranáč should replace Krejčí in defense. Michal Sadílek and Lukáš Červ are expected back in midfield. Adam Karabec's fitness remains uncertain, and Vladimír Coufal might miss out due to a knee problem.

• Formation (4-2-3-1): Kinský; Sácek, Chaloupek, Hranáč, Sláma; Sadílek, Červ; Radosta, Šulc, Lingr; Hložek
