England host Czechia in Nations League at Wembley

Recent form points different ways

England's recent run reads four wins and one defeat across five matches, the loss coming against Argentina before a six-goal win over France. Czechia have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five, most recently going down 3-0 to Mexico. The four head-to-head meetings on record have produced thirteen goals, and England have won two of them, lost one and drawn one. The most recent meeting, on 22 June 2021, finished 1-0 to England.

The table context

Neither side's position in the Nations League table is recorded, so where this fixture sits in the wider group picture is not clear. The competition's top tier shows France leading on ten points from four matches, with Italy second on seven, Belgium third on six and Türkiye bottom with none. Whether England and Czechia sit in that group or another is not specified, and the number of matches each has played is not recorded either, which makes any assessment of pressure or opportunity impossible to draw from the standings alone. What is certain is that England arrive with momentum from recent results, while Czechia's form has been mixed.
